I see...Was looking at the year they took their PSLE which was 2012. The t-scores were attained in 2012, but they joined Sec 1 in 2013


They took O levels in 2016 mah ...keke.

So you have to click 2013 at the moe website, not 2012.
Then it will show 2012 psle batch which was posted to 2013 sec 1. (see the picture I post)

HCI has O level track?

Yes, google \"Ö level track of shame\".
Talks about RJC mainly, but also mentioned HCI has O level class.

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.

:goodpost:

I'm so giddy reading the above posts! :faint: How did this become a thread down memory lane?

Not just different periods. There could be different affiliation/CL1/CCA bonus points deducted from your relatives' original aggregate. Besides, different faculties had different cut-offs like Arts being the one with the highest cut-off, so which COP were you guys talking about? Finally, note that the 'First 3 months' prelims cut-offs were also higher than actual O level cut-offs.

Some of you could be remembering lower cut-offs than the actual ones because you and your friends sauntered in with brilliant grades so that erroneous low COP was etched in your memory For example, my gf's sister got into VJC in 1987 with 5 points, but that wasn't VJC's COP for Science obviously. My BIL got into NJC in the early 80s also with 5 points, but that wasn't NJC's COP either.

Recap: L1R4 was any batch before Year 1989.

FanFanX was right that those around 50-55 years of age today will remember that NJC, HCJC and TJC were arguably the 3 titans dominating the A level scene. All the govt scholars hailed from these 3 at first. That they registered lower COPs than newer JCs like RJC and VJC in the early 80s was irrefutable.

RJC didn't have such a low COP in the beginning. Granted, it was low in the mid-80s (single digit), but not as low as today. Probably from 9/10 dropped to around 7/8 in 1986-87, which was Chan Chun Sing, Ong Ye Kung and Tan Chuan Jin's era? Minister Chan Chun Sing himself remarked in a Ch 8 TV interview, \"我有话说“ last year that RJC's COP was \"already very low\" during his time and he almost couldn't make it with his dismal O level grades.

The upswing for RJC was 1988 (minday's era). In Nov 1983, the top 10% of PSLE kids sat for the GEP selection test to join MOE's pilot SBGE programme in RI and RGS (i.e. Sec 1 in 1984). Not many but 100 of them. The 100 would later auto-join RJC after they cleared their O levels in 1987. They subsequently brought down RJC's COP to 5/6 for Science.

@stetan: Therefore, assuming you were from Dennis' batch that you told me, you'd require 5/6 points to make it to RJC Science in 1988/99. You didn't remember wrongly at all They probably thought you were talking about RJC's pioneer years of 1982-1985, cos initially you and someone else were comparing the MAIDEN COPs for new junior colleges like EJC.

After GEP was introduced, well, need I say more...RJC continued to rise up the ranks as they by default received all the GEPpers from RI and RGS. RJC welcomed its first batch of pri 3~sec 4 GEPpers (selected back in Oct 1983) in 1991. So they got stronger even after L1R5 was introduced. It became stable at 6 points for Science during the 90s, but many who qualified weren't actually 6-pointers but 4- or 2-pointers due to the bonus points awarded.

Occasionally, RJC would take in 10-15 pointers who appealed thru rugby/hockey/softball/track & field/swimming CCA. Those were all on case by case basis.

Thanks for the great information!

The anthem sounds very nice. It's amazing that it was composed by the students. What a talented bunch !

Yes. it was composed by the MEP students from the 3 schools. Very nice melody

"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."

Not my intention to start any debate. It was never my intention to "doubt" and caused confusion.
I understand that you are stating the facts from the slide, nothing wrong from your side.
I am stating based on what I know. SCGS’s intake is about 120 students for the three cohort so far including the now JC1 in EJC. I think there is an intention to increase 1 IP class in Sec 3 for the now JC1 cohort and Sec 4 cohort but not enough students to form the class. The total no. of students should still close to 120 students after some + and -.
That’s all, no intention to clarify further.

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?
.

I would not like to boast here like you do...but if you really want to know, I will say that I am definitely more successful than you are.

mindays:

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.

I am not sure what tree you are barking up at. The discussion with FanXFanx was whether the students are brilliant...then you budged in and claimed that you are a professional accountant and how successful you are. Hence my question to you was, do you consider yourself brilliant .

On a side note, please do start bringing comparison to this thread like what you did to the NYJC thread. The people here are really for true constructive discussion and not \"my JC is better than you JC\" kind of discussion.

Appreciate you could just stick to the NYJC thread if this is your motive

What was your intention when you used words like \"brilliant\" to describe students from a particular JC. I was merely stating a fact that I am a professional accountant, and you claimed that I was boasting? If you find my current position to be not threatening, then you wouldn't have made so much fuss about it. Furthermore, I don't know what qualifies you to define successful. You said that you are DEFINITELY more successful than me? I don't want to get too personal, but if you were to cross the line, I will be more willing to debate with you.

P.S. I don't know in what way did I give you the impression that \"my JC is better than your JC\", It was you who DOUBT the forummers experiences and tried to argue that our past experience/memories are not valuable as a substantiate. Furthermore, you brought in the name of VJC in your supposedly \"discussion\", in which you tried to pull down VJC with your tone. :evil:
