These are just some feedback from my ex and current tutees:

Will be updated when I get more info. It seems that YJC has again outranked IJC as a I know of a student who couldn’t get into YJ but is accepted by IJ.

Heard something abt the cut-off point (cop) for PJC for 2015

Today an ex-student informed me that the COP for both PJC’s Science and Arts streams is 13. If it is true I’m not surprised. PJC is an up and coming JC and I’m quite impressed with the attitude of my tutees who are from there. Being an “unbranded” JC, its students tend to be humble and willing to learn.

One of my first few tutees went to PJC, and now he has graduated from the NUS. Another two ex-tutees from PJC are now in SMU.

List of ‘Top’ Secondary Schools (2014) in Singapore by Cut-Off PSLE aggregate score (2013)

FREE SEC 1 MATH TUITION AT SINGAPORE LEARNER!


It seems that for the previous batch, the COPs have shrunk from the top as well as the bottom; schools at the top have their COPs lowered while schools at the bottom of this list have their COPs increased, such that to select roughly only the top 30 schools, I have to cut the schools off at a COP of 237 (yes, I have a COP for COPs). Here is the much awaited list (note that the COP here does not include the COP for the IP stream for schools with two tracks):

Please note there is more to choosing secondary schools than just their cut-off points. If you wish to here from me more about choosing secondary schools, please attend my free Talk this coming Sunday 25 Nov 2018 from 5 pm to 6.30 pm (Talk on Choosing a Secondary School by our Principal Educator)

Some news about jc postings and cut-off points 2014

I’m happy that most of my ex-S4s have obtained places in the courses they want. One even got a scholarship to do a poly course, upon my advice, instead of going to a JC. Of those who opt to go to JCs, most are in either PJC, AJC, JJC, ACJC, NJC, AJC, YJC or HCI.

From them and some JC teachers, it seems that the Science stream cut-off point (COP) for some JCs is as follows:

PJC: 14, AJC: 8, JJC: 14/15/16 (nobody seems to be sure), ACJC: 5 (really?), NJC: 5 or 6, HCI: should still be 3, YJC: 18.

PJC and JJC are always trying to outrank each other, and I believe this time PJC emerges the winner. The problem about PJC is I think it’s name. “Pioneer” is not associated with anything prestigious in Spore. I think if it had been named Sheares Junior College or even Bukit Panjang JC it would stand a better chance of tightening its COP.

Similarly, I think ACJC, CJC, SAJC and AJC are popular choices partly because of their fanciful names. Imagine ACJC is renamed Dover JC or AJC is renamed AMK JC; I think they will lose a lot of potential applicants. So even if every JC is a good JC, not every JC has a good name.

Please remember that even if you have been posted to a less popular JC, you still stand a good chance to get four or three H2 grade As at the A-levels. So quickly settle down and start studying for your Promo exams. Yes, I’m serious; you may ignore my advice at your own risk.

Rgds,

Ilyasa

LATEST:  I think PJC has outranked JJC this year, because I have a new J1 tutee who scored 14 points but could not get into PJC and instead was given JJC. Also heard from a new J1 tutee that quite a number of her schoolmates in AJC are appealing to enter NYJC. This may mean that in terms of COP, NYJC has outranked AJC again.
