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):

Below is the latest ranking of JCs that I have compiled based on their 2013 cut-off points. As expected, RI and HCI have remained at the top. Compared to 2012, NJC has outranked VJC, ACJC has outranked TJC, and NYJC has outranked AJC (remember I suspected this last year as I had one student who couldn’t get into NYJC science but could get into AJC science). But AJC now has a new principal (whom my ex-students say is good), so AJC’s fortunes may be reversed in the next few years. Lastly, Yishun JC has outranked Innova JC. Please note that this list is based on cut-off points, not A-Level results. Personally, I feel DHS and RVHS should allow O-Level leavers to apply to their schools to enrich their school environment.
