Q: What does this guide cover?
A: What “cut-off points” mean for IP schools, where to check the official MOE ranges, and how to use last year’s COPs (properly) when shortlisting Integrated Programme schools.
TL;DR
IP schools do have “COPs”, but MOE publishes them as PSLE score ranges and they only lock in after posting results. During the choice window, you typically reference last year’s ranges in SchoolFinder, then build a shortlist that can withstand tie-breakers and year-to-year shifts.
