JC posting 2009

[Muffins]

Hi guys, but I'm a little confused, why so little points when Primary and Secondary had to get 100 or 200 points? TIA.

[ooptimizer]

1 point means A1, its 75 marks and above.

2 points means A2, etc

[Muffins]

Oh... thanks ooptimizer! :thankyou:

There's no way you can minus 6 bonus points. Max allowed is 4 points. That's why JC cutoff points are always at least 2 points. Never 0.

yes you can!! Grr, just not many people do--no point in getting 0 when you can get 2. HC's COP is actually 1 to 3. How they get 1? Those who got 7 raw score-6 gets one. so you can actually minus 6 by taking CLEP.

I can second that. One of my friends got aggregate total of zero due to perfect 6 (L1R5) minus CCA, affliation etc.

Thanx serafiel for clarification.
So 6 max is only applicable for students taking clep or mlep but you cant combine HMT/School affiliation/CCA points to get 6 - Max allowed is still 4 without CLEP/MLEP.

CLEP is it the one about poems and chinese history?

You can, read carefully.

[Serafiel]

No, you can minus 4 using any 2 of the 3: HMT, CCA or Affiliation.

Most people with no HMT uses affiliation.
2 more is for CLEP or MLEP.

Firstly, the bonus points you "earned" is substracted from the L1R5 aggregrate (best possible L1R5 score is 6).


The maximum bonus points "earned" from any combination of the following is 4:

1 CCA (2 bonus points for A1&A2, 1 bonus point for B3 thru C6)
2 First Language & HMT (2 bonus points for A1 thry C6)
3 Third Language (MSP OR CSP OR BI - 2 bonus points for A1 thru c6)
4 Affliation (2 bonus points if joining JC from feeder school)

However, if you are taking up CLEP/MLEP in JC, you are given an additional 2 bonus points; only students in this category have a maximum of 6 bonus points.

I hope this will help to clarify the doubts we all have on what the max bonus points is. Details are available in the JAE booklet as well.
