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.[/quote]Congrats on your 1st class accountancy. 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 ?

Alright, to me, VJ was quite successful back then in the 80s and 90s, we even beat RJ in the A level results and was crowned as the top JC then. That was because of the strong culture that VJ has in which the seniors had programmes with the juniors. I still remembered the times I had with my seniors, some of them are really successful now and I do stay in contact with them till date. .

I remembered VJC was top JC for only 1 year. Subsequently, it had never been top again. In fact nowadays, its performance has never been comparable or even close to the top 2 JCs RI/HCI.

Can you give some insight into this since you were so confident that the school culture, support e.t.c would ensure that a JC can sustain it's performance?

Just curious, when VJC was top that year, was the VJC principal the woman that came from HCJC, ex vice-principal ?

Clearly, you did not understand the article that I provided you with: http://chrisguillebeau.com/the-more-you-improve/

Someone, please help me, I really don't wish to harp on it anymore.

I was the 4th batch of VJC, I had seniors and I attribute my success, partly to them. My principal was Mrs Lee, though I forgot her full name. She was a great principal as well, but we didn't interact much with Mrs Lee then. On the contrary, it was my seniors who assisted me in my studies and even ECAs (CCAs) at that time. Victorian's culture is unselfish, we cheer as one Victorian and of course I must thank the dedicated teachers there (Mr Tan, Mdm Heng just to name a few). In fact, VJ's results were outstanding and was top for my batch but subsequently once in the 90s and another in 2001 (the year of 911). So, it's not just once! You can check by all means. My point is, I value my seniors and IMO, they are integral in a stressful JC curriculum. People have different viewpoints on matter and I hope that we can respect that.

I rememebered VJC was only top for 1 year. Which year in the 90's were it top ? Even if it was top again in 2001, after that , it had never reached the peak again. Was that period after Mrs Lee left VJC? I understand she was a very good principal

You have written a lot but you have not explain how school culture and support can help the JC stay at the top, which wasn't in VJC case.

That article is not relevant to the case you brought up about 60 marks and 80 marks. Please read through the article properly and tell me how is it relevant to the case you cited below

Let me repeat what you say again.

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 ?Why would it take extra effort for the 80 mark student?

Can you answer once and for all and stop beating round the bush?

Can't help you because I do not understand your logic too :scratchhead:
If you want my honest opinion, I think you are just trying to pull a fast one.

VJ was top in 1988, the 4th (my batch) batch. I cant remember which year in the 90s but there was once in the 90s and another in 2001. I agree with you that it had never reached the peak but it always holds its title as the top 3 JCs during that period, okay to be more prudent, top 5. I did mention how my seniors assist me in VJ and that the culture was very friendly and unselfish. How more detail do you want? If you would like, show me an example of your take on RJ. Besides, I am reluctant to post things unrelated to NYJC, which is the main subject in this thread. This will actually dismiss parents who have genuine interest in NYJC because it goes off topic. Put yourself in their shoes. Moreover, please help EthanEthan (via other platforms) if you have the time.
