Dear gurus,


My DD has scored 8(M) for her PSLE and we are thinking of putting the below choices:

First Option:
1st: SCGS IP (COP
2nd: SCGS O (COP 9)
3rd: RV IP (COP 9D)
4th Swiss Cottage (COP 11)
5th: Crescent Girls’ (COP 11)
6th: Bukit Panjang Gov’t High School (COP 11)

I know SCGS IP historical Tscore COP has been around 252. I have also read in some post here that AL8 is around 252 to 254 for IP. But interestingly enough, SCGS O historical Tscore has also been around 252, but the COP for its O level is 9 instead. I’m thinking if I can’t get into SCGS IP, at least there’s a very high chance of getting into SCGS O? If someone can tell me what my chances are especially around First & 2nd Choice here with AL8(M).

2nd Option:
1st choice: MGS O (COP
2nd/3rd: SCGS IP (COP
2nd/3rd: SCGS O (COP 9)

MGS is my DD dream school and she’s happy to forgo doing IP by doing O level at MGS instead. Historically Tscore has been around 253-254 for O level programme (which correspond to a AL8 COP?). Obviously she’s not going to get into MGS IP, so having AL8, does she stand a good chance with MGS(O)? I’m thinking most of the AL1-7 would be going for IP programme and there’s a good share of AL8 scorers’ opting for St Nicks, does that improve my odds here with MGS(O)?
