If you are doing O levels, DON'T drop HMT if possible. Even if you get a C5/C6 for HMT, you can still get the 2 bonus points. Besides the HMT barely improves the the University Rank points when you talk about admission into our local unis.
And how do you foresee the grades to such accuracy? The actual grades can be a surprise because it is bell curved across the entire O level cohort and not just the school's cohort.

oh, there's bell curve for O level, too.
taking HMT has the advantage when applying for local unis, too? may i know how this works? where could I get more info on this?

just to clarify.

if the student gets A1 for MT (took in sec3), and foresee that he will get HMT A2, EL B4 in O level (sec 4).
in this case, the HMT would be used as L1, and MT would not be used for R5.
Could the EL be used as R4/R5? if yes, is it advisable that the student drop HMT in sec4, so the MT can be used to compute L1R5?

Hi, may i know how many JC can student submit to apply for DSA-JC?

[quote=sunny post_id=2006224 time=1606796233 user_id=4620]I have same thought as you. But DS still wants to put nanhua first...

Maybe , it’s like some of us prefer a lower paying but offer better work life balance job ?

sunny, there might be reasons why your boy wants to put Nanhua in his first choice:
1) He really likes Nanhua
2) His good friends going to Nanhua
3) He is not so keen to go to EJC, he aims other JCs upon O level.

So after all analysis and advice to your boy, let him make final decision on the first choice as he shall be happy in the school chosen.[/quote]Ya, 1 & 3 are the reasons. His good friends are mostly going to other schools as they score higher.

Hi, I am deciding the sequence of choice

- catholic high O level - 1 point below cop

- nanhua - 2 points above cop

Travelling distance about the same, both are SAP.

Anyone can share ur view?

Take Catholic High (O-level) better, because
at end of Sec 2 year-end streaming, you still have a second chance to go IP, if u desire.

if your son does well at end of Sec 2 and son is keen in IP, Principal will invite your son to do IP starting Sec 3 IP to join Eunoia JC

This EJC has improved rapidly so fast !

Years ago, when EJC first started off and occupied Mount Sinai temporary premises, not many students want to join IP (CHS / SCGS / St Nick) back then, because many students said \"brand new JC, no track record ...\"

But today Y2020, look what happen ?

Eunoia JC admission intake -
Is the same for Science & Arts, as the other two : Victoria JC and National JC

In other words,
As far as L1R5 is concerned,

Eunoia Junior College is on par, with Victoria Junior College & National Junior College, for A-level admission, both (Science & Arts) stream

EJC has done exceedingly well, to come thus far !


Cut off point (L1R5) for

a)

Eunoia JC (Science ) = Victoria JC (Science) = National JC (Science), all at 7 points

b)

EJC (Arts) = VJC (Arts) = NJC (Arts), all at 8 points

In other words, 2 years later, at end of Sec 2 streaming, if u do well and decide to go straight up to A-level, bypass take O level National exam, u still have the last chance to do so.

Anyway, 7 points (Science stream), not easy to get, at O-level. So might as well grab the chance and go , if by then Principal give you the chance to go IP, at end of Sec 2

If you choose Nan Hua,
if u want this type of opportunity at end of Sec 2, also don't have

Hi, my DD's score is 257 (no hcl) and I live in Bishan.

I am planning to put the following schools ranked in order of preference (hence it's a bit strange order for choice 5):
Choice 1: RGS (her dream school although COP is 261)
Choice 2: NYGH (COP: 261)
Choice 3: St Nic IP (COP: 257)
Choice 4: Cedar Girls IP (COP: 253)
Choice 5: Dunman High / NJC (COP: 255 / 254)
Choice 6: SCGS IP (COP: 252)

Are choice 4 and 6 fairly safe with COP +4 and +5?
Or should I move SCGS up to put in say Cedar Girls OL (COP: 249) as Choice 6 to provide for more \"safety net\" in case of freak COP?
I have been reading this thread and many seems to expect COP this year to go up..
Also, I read a few comments that one should build buffer of 8-10 COP buffer which seems like a lot to me... so not sure if it's really necessary..
Thanks very much for your kind advice as DD is my first child and I am quite clueless.
Thanks!!

The computer will look through the 6 options on your daughter's list, and post her to the first school it finds with a vacancy. For this reason, she must arrange the schools in order of preference (which may not necessarily be in order of COP).

COP +5 is probably safe, but if there is really a freak movement, who knows? It really depends on your risk appetite. No-one can assure you that the COP for any school will definitely not go up by more than 5 in any year (unlikely, but anything is possible). Out of the 6 choices, I would spare 1 which is really, really safe.

Really really safe means buffer 8-10?

Hi, I am thinking of putting catholic high O levelbtrack as one of the choices.
DS is not from the affiliated primary school, we have the concern if he would have difficulty in making friends especially with those who already know each other well since primary school time from the affiliated primary school.

Can anyone share your experience?

It is quite safe to say that majority of Catholic High students are not from its affiliated primary school.

Most boys will get closer to their classmates and CCA mates rather than their primary school mates unless they happen to be in the same Sec 1 class. The classes will split again in Sec 3 due to subject combination.

Congrats to your child for doing well in PSLE and all the best! :rahrah:

Thank you!
