Cannot claim to fully understand the above so maybe someone can help further explain to us, especially on the Chinese language matter.

Any information what is the lowest score in this batch of 76 students ?

I understand the highest score is 44/45 and no perfect score.
and 1000 students took the IB exam in Singapore in 2014. (just to keep track for future year's comparison)

1) Since it is 100% passing rate, no one has gone below 24 points.
2) Considering that this is the first batch taking the IBDP exam, I believe the lowest score of the batch is immaterial
3) ACSI has been running the program since 2005, about 8 years more experienced than SJI. From this perspective, I think the school has done exceptionally well with the first batch and we should only expect better news in the future.

is there any reference to the IBDP cut-off points to gain acceptance to university courses? there exists information with regards to minimum requirements but actual points for entry are somewhat had to find. any pointers?

I see many questions about HMT so I'll upload this info here for future reference. (information from handouts during 2014 SJI principal-parents dialog session)

Looking at the info provided, it seems that it will make very little sense for anyone to want to do very well for the HMT at O level. This is because they will then be required to do the 2nd lang at SL / HL.

Unlikely those taking A, if they managed to do well enough for their HMT at O level, they will be exempted from doing Chinese at JC. Any comment from parents?

from what i read ... i am gathering the same. what's the merit for doing well at HMT for IBDP students?

Nan Chiau highest score is 271

Congratulations! Better than NYPS. NYPS top score is probably less than 270. The figure 270 shown is just a number.

Do you know that for a fact?

NYPS Top Score … Unknown

NYPS Top Score … Definitely higher than 270 (Can confirm.)

THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!


My eyes thank you too!

i think the main gist of the idea is to "guesstimate" if the COP for this year will drop and if it drops, by how many points …


HCI’s COP last year was 256 … if your DS gets 252 + 2 = 254 … i would think that it would be realistic to try for HCI. if i was in this situation and HCI is a school that DS would like to get into, i would definitely put it down as 1st choice.

Mmm, as I type this … I realized a situation.
252 + 2 …
Last year HCI COP = 256
Last year NJC COP = 255
Does that mean that 252+2 has better chance of making it to HCI than NJC?

flip to the school of choice ... there is information about the COP listed on the page. i don't have the book with me now but it is definitely listed.

Sorry, may I ask what moe booklet that shows cut off points? I only have that thick grey book on choosing secondary schools. Thks
