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.

Sorry :offtopic:

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.[/quote]Top rank as in A level results? Care to share but share in NYJC thread please.

I understand EJC starts at 8am

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

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.

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.

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.

This could be 1984, when VJC was just set up.
This could be more accurate (correct me if I am wrong).
HCJC - 8 pts
RJC - 10 pts
VJC - 11 pts

I think those years it was not easy to get distinction for English, compared to nowadays.
Many people get 4 A1s plus English grade which determine their L1R4.

Back to EJC. My gut feel is that EJC will be propelled to be one of the top 5 JCs in time to come.

A shift to Marymount/Sin Ming area will be a prerequisite.

HCJC - 8 pts
RJC - 10 pts
VJC - 11 pts

This was in 1984? Mind sharing the source of your data ?

So VJC COP was 11 , not 10 when it first started

Any evidence to back up what you are claiming?

I got A1 for enlish 20+ years ago. Not difficult at all
