      The y3 increase is due to y3 dsa?
      Does it mean Sngs does not have a y3 dsa exercise?

      NO NO NO

      To avoid confusion by Nebbermind's question, let me put it clearly:

      Intake for 2013 (Sec 3 on the slide, now JC1):
      Total: 487

      Intake for 2014 (Sec 2 on the slide, now Sec 4):
      Total: 432

      Intake for 2015 (Sec 1 on the slide, now Sec 3):
      Total: 442

      Please read properly 1st before saying anything.
      I already said we are talking abt EJC JC1 cohort. That's why I only wanted to post that cohort's intake. So as not to cause confusion. But snowyqueen doubted my figures & says scgs intake was 120, without knowing the 1st batch was different. And Nebbermind quoted snowyqueen & caused confusion by doubting my other 2 figures.
      So I have no choice but to substantiate my post with a slide.
      And then Nebbermind caused even more confusion by misinterpreting the figures on the slide, & digressing.

        A side question. Since NYJC students are not from the IP schools, and apart from affiliated Chung Cheng High, what schools did the students of NYJC come from?
        From more than 80 schools and some winning formulae of nyjc: late start at 8.30am, unusual subject combinations offered & alumni help spread the word. None on A level performance though.

          When VJC first started, there were no IP. All students took \"O\" include RI/RGS e.t.c. Getting a 10 at that time is not brilliant -The brilliant students from RI were getting 6 points and below.

          During that time, aggregate was based on best 5 subjects, now is based on 6. (L1R5).

          Furthure more VJC has 2 point privilege for VS whereas there is none for EJC's intake

          IF I am not wrong, back in my days, RJC had cut off points of 8? VJC was 9/10. I was from VJC, getting a 10 at that time is considered quite good. I am a professional accountant today.

          We are talking here about brilliant student here. Do you consider yourself as brilliant?

          During my times, getting a 10 is only average...but .that's only in my school.

          Don't think RJC COP was that low, because when VJC started, we were already the top few college in Singapore. In any case, we are talking about COP when a college start off.....having a single digit COP in first year is respectable.

            Yes. You are right. My brother went to RJC the same year VJC was set up. Hwa Chong and NJC were still the leading JCs then. Temasek was also there.
            RJC did very well to regain the top school status several years later.

              Think the 8.30 am school start hours is a great idea. Why make the students wake up so early?
              I have great admiration for NYJC as it does not have IP, or very strong affiliated secondary schools, to make it among the top ranks.

                    Actually 9 point is very good for a first year. If I recall, when VJC first started, the COP for the first year was 10.....


                    Apparently, according to my friend's DD, the JAE students in her OG was from SJI, St Marg, Crescent Girls , ACSI, CHS, St Nics, SCGS, NanHua and even from HCI !

                    Apparently, these are students from HCI \"O\" level class...some of them actually did well to return to HCI/JC but chose not to go back...Seems like quite a sizable group from Crescent and SJI...

                    Suprisingly, there are also quite a number of students from Commonwealth secondary...Looking at the school cop for 2014 is 238 to 249 so it is definitely one of the top few neighbourhood schools around

                    And it seem that there was a long queue outside the general office - apparently for appeals....

                    More than 30 years ago, 10 points and below is considered a very brilliant student (based on L1R4 and no deduction).
                    Nowadays, 6-7 points (before deduction) are considered brilliant students.


                    If you get 10 points 30 years ago, meaning that each subject ( divided by 5 subjects) is an A2 which is 70-75 marks. This is good but hardly brilliant. If you were from VS, with 2 points affliation bonus, you would be able to get into VJC with 12 points COP

                      Don't think RJC COP was 8 that time . It was higher, around 6 for Science......You mean your brother got in with 8 points?

                        i think it could be different periods.There was also a time when Hwa Chong L1R4 science was 7/8 while RJC was around 10.
