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. .

What \"statistic knowledge\" do you have ? Care to elaborate ?

mindays:

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..

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 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.

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

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.

I dont think your professor would have taught you wrongly. Perhaps you understood it wrongly?

I am glad that I didn't disappoint myself. I shall provide you with an article: http://chrisguillebeau.com/the-more-you-improve/
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?

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

I think we are trying to establish the correct concept here. If my understanding is wrong here, it would be good if you can correct me.

You mentioned by your statistical knowledge, when you have 80 marks, it would be more difficult to get the next additional mark ? But if you answer a 1 MCQ mark question correctly, wont you get that extra mark regardless you have 60 or 80 marks now? It takes the same effort to answer the MCQ question, isn't it

By the way, I took Statistics module in University too and the concept you described above is alien to me. Perhaps my professor taught me wrongly too ?
