To be fair, I think it is very difficult for the students present during the release of results to provide such detailed breakdown.

students won't know the detail, but JC have the breakdown detail, how they come to 88.5

[lexis]

And this is the HCI forum… so yup, for HCI results.


Perhaps those who are keen to know the exact breakdown should await an official press release from HCI. In the past, HCI did release some sort of statistics on their website.

To clarify -

can u also break down : going by individual H2 and H1 subjects, for
H2 Physics, H2 Chemistry, H2 Biology, H2 Maths

AND

Please present ALL Facts & figures clearly, to everybody in the forum

Wow ! You are asking for so detailed details from a parent who wasn't in the school but just got info from her DS. I don't think schools will present such detailed details to the students.

Why don't you call HC and give us ALL facts and figures to everyone in the forum???

It is also quite interesting to read about some high performers, http://www.hci.edu.sg/news/hwa-chong-sustains-tradition-of-excellence. One of them actually received unconditional offer from Harvard!

I have a question. Is UAS the criteria to judge a JC performance nowadays?

Yeah! The HCI website said 11 Hwa Chong students have been awarded provisional Public Service Commission Scholarships. Also, a record number of 52 Hwa Chong students have received offers to Cambridge and Oxford University. Over 600 offers have also been made to Hwa Chong students from top US and UK universities such as Harvard, Brown, NYU, Imperial, LSE, and Columbia.

My boy said everyone was so excited that they were shouting, stamping and cheering for their seniors!
