* Nanyang JC (NYJC)

[mindays]

phtthp:

anyone know, based on this year 2017 JC1 intake latest batch (born in the year 2000): After minus away the group of affliated students coming from combined Chung Cheng Secondary (@Main & Yishun) school branches, roughly / approximately, how many places (vacancies) are left, for the acceptance intake of JAE (GCE O-level) NON-Affliated students, who were able to meet Nanyang Junior College Cut-off-point (both Science & Arts stream) ?

I am not entirely sure of the absolute number of students from Chung Cheng but I am certain that there are a great mix of students from other secondary schools as well. It was as claimed that students enrolling from as many as 80+ sec schools. Nonetheless, it is still based on meritocracy and acceptance is based on merits (6 for Science, 7 for Arts).

I am afraid I can't answer much to your question about Physics vs Biology in NYJC as I do not have in-depth knowledge on its operation. Perhaps attend their Open House in 2018. From what I know, NYJC is quite strong in their Sciences.

If I am not mistaken for the last 3 years Nan Chiau High was the main feeder school for NYJC, with about 96 students for year 2016 (Chung Cheng High 2 sch combined was a notch more than 100). That is more than Chung Cheng Main or Chung Cheng Yishun if counting on single schools. The rest of the 600 plus vacancies is distributed among students from der rest of der 198 schools.

For 2017, the bulk is shared among Nan Chiau High, Nan Hua High and the affiliated Chung Cheng High (Main & Yishun).

So actually there is no need to worry too much of the affiliation matters. As long as your DC meets the criteria he/she shd be able to get in. (its not dat competitive compared to IP schools like NJC, HCI, RI and Eunoia JC where there only 200 plus vacancies)

The photo I happen to have here is the students from Nan Chiau High in 2016 J1 (might not be complete). Was shared around in the group the other time.

between A-level H2 Science (Physics and Biology) these 2 subjects: in your opinion, which lecturer(s) at NYJC, can teach better (why) ? Do NYJC have good Teachers, for these 2 subjects, or not really ?


Overall, more students scored grade \"A\" for H2 Physics, or for H2 Bio, in this JC at GCE \"A\" level exam, from past years' results ?

I am not really sure about how dey taught @ NYJC but judging from the difficulty standard of NYJC papers for the sci subjs their standards shd b on par with other top JCs IMO. I took Phy Chem Math for H2 science subjs so not too sure abt Bio.

Did NY papers as student when I was in HCJC. Thr phy paper standards are somewhat similar to what the few top tier JCs have out thr (don't feel like their standards were anywhere lower than us either). For maths their paper is considered to be challenging for an average student actually (if doing under time constraints) but is of quality as the qns are very specific and drills solidly on concepts. (NY math papers are usually put aside in our revision packages as hard papers back then, heard the papers are tougher recently)

NYJC Chem Papers are well known to be killer papers (that is my only comment tbh)... is even more cancer than my own college's papers IMO. (dat somewhat explains for their distinction rate) Last time we got this joke in chem: 5 papers from the top JCs: HC=can do, VJ=can do, NJ=can do, RJ=smart ass can do, AJ-cannot do, NY-forget it u never can do :rotflmao:

If NY can secure almost on-par results with VJ and even surpassing NJ for A'lvls I don't see how NY's teaching standards can be low. :skeptical:

Nyjc is Top Non-IP JC based on 2016 A Level results.

Regarding Liangbrolovesoccer post, it is quite true though if I remembered correctly at that time when I looked through the exam papers last year when I made a 2 cents comment about difficulty of math papers. Most top JCs set prelim papers that are not too difficult so that their students can use the results to gain early admission to universities which explains the difficulty

Hi guys I'm currently a JC2 studying in NYJC right now and yes A Levels in ~1 month But somehow I managed to find this forum and found it really quite interesting


Sounds like I'm a bit of being extra here but if you need any current info about NY I'm more than welcomed to answer :))

Past graduate from NYJC. Very proud of NYJC current achievement.

Good Job!

Hi all!


I'm a current j1 from NYJC taking BCME combination. I would like to clarify that even though school does start at 8.30 on assembly days (alternate days depending on level and all weds), some classes do start at or before 8am even though the combi is common (bmce in my case) so it depends on range of combis in the class and not necessarily individual. The time lessons end also depend on class and timetable, classes that end school earlier have lesser breaks etc and rare combis tend to end school earlier. School ends at 2.30 every Wednesday for both j1s and 2s. We run on a 2-week timetable which means timetable alternates every week. Feel free to ask any questions and ill try to answer using my personal experiences :rahrah:

Hi! Just wanted to ask how is Nanyang JC's Chinese Language Elective Programme (the 语特 programme) different from other JCs, especially on the syllabus and style of teaching? Heard NYJC is one of the few JCs which picks local theatre arts by 郭宝昆 as their elective syllabus, while the others taught 老舍's 茶馆 Also heard fm a teacher dat NY is the only JC with CLEP taught by local teachers, of which a number graduated from HCJC and NYJC itself and the yearly results seems to be not bad. My elder child was considering it as a possible option after attending an intro sharing by JCs offering that programme at her secondary school. Hope to gain more insights of it!
