I hope you are not misunderstood because I said NYJC is the leader of the tier, in this case, the non-IP JCs. I think it is irrelevant to bring in these IP JCs simply because of the difference in tier.mindays:
Do not see NY as Lecister. Allow me to introduce you to a new perspective, see NY as Manchester City, it has potential and is definitely worthy enough to be among the top. Just look at NY's popularity. I went for both EJC and NYJCs' open houses over these 2 days, NYJC is definitely more crowded, more lively, more vibrant. Students can tell for their own. Moreover, NYJC is the top non-IP JC in Singapore. To me, I see NYJC as a leader of this tier, and I don't see why it cannot be comparable to lower league IP JCs among its tier like Temasek JC or even the new Eunoia JC.
I am amazed at how you can simply link high attendance at open houses -> higher popularity -> \"leaders of the JC tier\"
Workers Party has thousands of people attending their election rallies. Did it translat e to more people casting their votes for them ? In fact, they performed rather badly. High attendance does not translate to high achievement. Your correlation is grossly flawed.
Let me cite you another example. Go visit the car showrooms on weekends.There will be many more people visiting the Toyata showroom than the Lexus', simply because Toyotas are much cheaper than Lexus. It does not imply that the quality of Toyota cars are better than Lexus. Toyotas are more popular because they are cheaper, not better.
Similarly, more may visit NYJC because there are more students with higher COP who would think that they stand a better chance in getting into the college than getting into a IP JC. It certainly does not mean that the IP JCs are inferior, you know.
You also claim that NYJC is the leader of the tier. Can you elaborate with evidence how is she better than DHS, RV the IP jcs?
I hope you do not misunderstand my intentions and you can read all the posts before coming up with an erroneous reply. I did not translate popularity with how good a JC is, I was stating a FACT that the magnitude of people in NY's open house was larger than EJ's. That's all. Just to inform you regarding cars, in the tier of higher end cars, Rolls Royce are highly talked about and they are indeed good. Maserati is another famous and popular brand, and its performance is superb as well.
Moreover, I didn't claim that IP JCs are weak. In fact, I said that NYJC is COMPARABLE to IP JCs such as TJC, RVHS etc -

What \"statistic knowledge\" do you have ? Care to elaborate ?
I don't think I am wrong when I state the difference btw 24X and 25X with 25X and 26X. I have statistic knowledge and let me express myself in this analogy, hoping that you do not get misunderstood. .mindays:
No. it does not help. A mark is a mark. It takes the same effort to get a mark. Answer a MCQ correctly and you will get a mark, whether your current score now is 60 or 70 or 80.I understand that you are using absolute numbers, 10, to compare, but I think it is myopic to just use absolute numbers. Will you disagree with me if I say it is harder to get 90 marks from 80 marks and it is relatively easier to get a 80 marks from 70 marks? Same, the difference may be 10 marks, but everyone knows that it is tougher to improve as you get higher marks. I hope this helps.So, the difference between 24X and 25X is definitely not as significant as the difference between 25X and 26X..

mindays:
I do not understand. So what you trying to say when you say that the \"magnitude of people in NY's open house was larger\" if you are not referring to the popularity . Surely, you must be trying to tell us something by mentioning this ?

You claim NYJC is comparable to TJC, RVHS, DHS e.t.c but you have not provide evidence to substantiate your claims. In what areas are they comparable ? All you have been doing till now has been just providing personal anecdotes and personal experiences, which is entertaining but hardly evidential.
I am not trying to put NYJC down but in this world , there are somethings call \"brands\". It is this intangible asset that many people values. All things equal, which would be more prestigious, driving a Toyota or a Lexus ?
You seemed to know a lot indepth about NYJC, more than VJC, which you claim you attended ? :evil: -
Albeit all the things that have been mentioned are to my best intentions, it cant be helped if things seemed to turn sour. If that’s the case, I shall leave this thread. I just hope the viewers are discerning enough to tell between posts.
I rest my case -

I really rest my case, if you still think it this way. I really wonder whether my professor in the university taught me wrongly.

Okay, I don't wish to argue with you anymore, it is tiring. I graduated with First Class honours in accountancy, I am not here to flaunt but rather iron out my credibility. Let us not get too heated up, and discuss things related to NYJC, this would help prospective parents. -

I thought your degree was on mathematics/statistic since you alluded to this.
But seriously,, did they teach you when you have 80 mstks, it would be more difficult to get the next mark ? But if you answer a 1 mark question correctly, wont you get that extra mark regardless you have 60 or 80 marks now? -
EthanEthan:
Business statistics is included in the module of Accountancy, just so you know. Alright, I really don't wish to argue further, it is draining. You can continue with your concept
