[quote=\"woodgrove\"]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

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

So VJC COP was 11 , not 10 when it first started[/quote]No source. Heard from those people who entered.

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

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.

Any evidence to back up what you are claiming?

I got A1 for enlish 20+ years ago. Not difficult at all[/quote]Perhaps those here who took A levels from 30+ years ago can verify.

Oh. So its just hearsay? And you sure have elephant memory, even remebering COP of junior colleges 30+ years ago

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:

The ten reasons are here according to their site. Reason 5 is related to academic results. But off topic :offtopic: I wont elaborate on it but just patch up whatever that was left hanging. Sorry

yes i can remember that HCJC Science for 1984 and 1985 respectively was 8 and 7 respectively. VJC and RJC was around 10.

Lets not based on individual memories of 30+ years ago.....

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.[/quote]During my time, VJC was also among the top schools as what you have said \"already the top FEW colleges\". I consider myself relatively successful, so are my peers and seniors from VJC. How about you? When VJC first started out, it was among the top 5 based on cut off point. I am not denying that fact that EJC's COP of 9 (the end of the spectrum of a single digit) is bad, in fact, it is not bad. The COP ranking shows that EJC is placed among the 7th to 11th (along side with AJC, SAJC and TJC) out of the 18 JCs (excluding DHS, RVHS, ACSI and SJI). Highly respectable for its pioneer batch, do you consider them as brilliants? (Using the same tone you used) RJC COP was comparable to VJC during my time, 10 to 11.

It is unbelievable to say that getting A1 for English is not difficult.

I am very sure that RJC's COP was not the top during my time. In fact, Chinese High was first. RJ and NJ alongside with VJ were among the next few choices.
