All About A Levels

grownupbaby:

Thanks VitoRelax. So, it is the same algorithm as Sec 1 posting. The only difference is that for T-score there is decimal point but not for L1R5, it will involve balloting if the score is the same.

For simplicity, we just assumed that there are only 2 types of bonus points of 2 and 4 (meaning only -2 and -4)

Then the algorithm goes like this.

First those with the lowest nett score gets to select the school. So, 2 is the lowest bcos there are 6 subjects in L1R5 (ie 6-4=2)

So all those Singaporean with 6-4=2 gets to select which school they wanna go. If there are say 8 Singapreans with 6-4=2, then these 8 students are randomly selected by computer to see who gets to select first.

The next batch are PRs with 6-4=2

Then international students with 6-4=2

Then, it goes to the next number up, ie batch with nett score of 3 and so on ...

When it reach batch with nett score of 4, it is like this:

The next batch are Singaporeans with 6-2=4

Then Singaporeans with 8-4=4

Then PRs with 6-2=4

Then RRs with 8-4=4

Then international students with 6-2=4

Then international students with 8-4=4

Then, it goes to the next number up, ie batch with 5 and so on ...

Hope that helps

[quote=\"tkbd\"]NYJC definitely is more supportive of a hybrid combination. Every year there are classes in NYJC which are specifically for hybrid combinations. Subject combinations are extremely flexible in NYJC. The school practically allows you to choose whatever subjects you want to study.


Moreover the school is more up-to-date and I strongly believe provides a more conducive environment to study in as compared to AJC.

Agreed. I think NYJC is a better JC. Lookin at last year's cop NYJC is also more difficult to get in than AJC

I feel that to know whether one JC is better than the other will be to look at their A level grades n not the COP.

COP is very deceiving becos even a 2 pointer student will choose the mid tier JCs.

DS has one friend who is like that.[/quote]A 2-pointer can choose to go anywhere and will mostly likely get their first choice.

COP is not deceiving. COP is a gauge and is the score of the last student who entered.


So, if you like NYJC which has a lower COP than say another JC like AJC, when you have to put NYJC before AJC in your selection.

If you put the other way round, there is no way you gonna get NYJC because you will get AJC.

VitoRelax, you are in the same boat as me - DS O levels n DD A levels.

The 4th Jan enlistment NS boys passing out parade is on 9th March.

I wonder if MOE will release the results for A levels after 9th March? Or the boys collect their results on 10th March? Unlikely will collect earlier since they need to prepare for the overnight march.

Ot: the overnight road march to graduation
