Can you for the sake of readers do a tabulation on all the awards medals prizes of all kinds of Olympiads won by the various schools like NUSH RI HCI etc ? Thank u
It will not be a very fair comparison since every school has a different focus, enrolment, etc. It is in the same way that you would not compare maths olympiad medal differences between RI and SOTA.. just in a more subtle way. -
Hi,
May I know previous years’ COP to enter NUSH after PSLE results are announced?
As it seem quite difficult to DSAed-in? Thanks. -

In this case there is nothing unfair about it as that is what people are claiming who has got more medals and implied to be betterpirated:

Obviously people are not comparing NUSH or HCI with any Tim bark too secondary school, or sota with sss -

Did your friend's kid get in through DSA? To get in through S1 posting with a score of 24x is almost unheard of as each year, NUSH has only 17 vacancies for S1 posting and it is highly competitive. From what I know, the COP for the past many years has always been >260 with A* for Maths and Science.

Indeed, you are correct. What I am implying is that medals are not a good way to compare schools, especially specialized ones such as NUSH, SOTA and SSS.In this case there is nothing unfair about it as that is what people are claiming who has got more medals and implied to be better

Taking NUSH and RI for example, a single RI Year 5 cohort has more students than the entire NUSH school, yet NUSH school is a school with everyone in the science stream and is thus able to specialize on the science side. There are also other differences in syllabus, curriculum restriction, research, etc. There is too much difference to make a meaningful comparison based on medals alone.
It is my view that there isn't a best school, or sometimes even a better school. There is just a potentially most suitable school for a particular student, and different individuals may be suitable for different schools. -

I would add for achievements - the greatest share of credit goes to the student. They , and the environment they provide , is the major factor that makes the school \"good school\"
