Shurin:
How do NYJC results compare with other good sch like EJC, NJC etc.
See my post... though not enough info to make good comparisons...

UBKmom:
comparing the number of % of student getting distinction, I must say I am expecting better results from NY because if I am not wrong, NY is not any better than EJC considering the disparity in their admission COP and RVHS too. Of course, we cant have fair comparison until we have the full detail available from everyone.
IP JCs like EJC as well as RVHS students need to cope with 4H2 content subjects, while majority of NYJC students are taking 3H2 & 1H1? -
NotEducatedMan:
If indeed NY student is not compulsory to take 4H2, wouldnt their 3H2 distinction rate should be higher with lesser work load to handle?UBKmom:

I think for all schools, not all students need to take 4H2. I’m sure all schools have some students who need to take only 3H2

I thought eligibility of 4 A level subject depends on o level results?
My staff dd in Nyjc , score 7 pts ( raw) taking 4 A - comp, math, phy , Econ - all H2 - shecsaid if can’t cope , sch will tell them to drop Econ’s to H1 -

The fact is, majority of NYJCians still takes 4H2 subjects every cohort. It would b mere and biased to simply assume 3H21H1 is a norm in NY. On default, there r at most 4 full H1 CT groups per level, and the number of students that dropped any H2 by the Prelims does not surpass 40. (We know it ourselves when we sat in the hall)

Thus, @UBKmom just like what Hong heng pointed out, NY works the same way like any other JCs such as EJC, HCI or RV. Its the choice of the students to take 3H21H1 or 4H2. No school set the rule that its compulsory to take 4H2. There is no point in trying to stretch the difference by adding the assumed illusion that most NYJCians take 3H21H1 and therefore less workload. (I wondered how parents like yrself on that side of the hse got this off-track thinking from.)
Plus i don't really get the deal of comparing percentages differing by one or two, or even down to decimals when it tallies with not even close to a dozen by the cohort size. So does comparing median RPs.
All these JCs that yall mentioned here are all decent ones with similar good results if yall realised. I must say honestly, at the end of the day, the contemplation between JC that bears similar results doesn't matter if the attitude of a candidate isn't having a right attitude and can't take ownership on his or her studies. -

It shd b common across the board regarding the eligibility for 4H2 base on o lvl results. (The reason is more or less implied).

On a side note, the part on dropping econs to H1 might be for her case indv (prob base on her past overall results in the blocks). And fyi its an advisory fm the college, its up to us whtr to drop or not.
Coz if one's econs grades isn't too far off, there is really no point dropping fm H2 econs to H1 econs on the current syllabus after learning H2 for the past 1 yr+ (majority of the syllabus has been covered by den). While H1 had less topics (minus off Mkt failure those stuffs, which are actually losses as those are the chapters that complete the picture), the requirement for the standard of the answers are not really compromised. -
After so many years and parents here are still arguing about nyjc being top or not. I realised that COP is merely a figure but once the student graduates from the JC, the next level will supercede. Thus we have to see what courses these jc graduates choose in universities. Nyjc being a heartland jc as it is (no IP student, non-GEP, lacking in olympiad brains, no superkid) and favoured by jae students who aren’t that confident, ambitious high achievers (since young) so they tend to choose more common courses such as computer science, engineering, etc just as most pupils from tjc, ajc , mjc etc will choose; unlike most pupils from elite ip jcs like ri, hci ,vjc, njc, rvhs, dhs etc whereby more pupils or majority will pursue the more prestigious courses like medicine, dentistry or law.
Above based on personal observations from friends around us.
Sadly, it’s a fact that Nyjc grads won’t get that ‘wow! you’re from top jc’ kind of compliment or recognition when they are in uni, unlike those from elite jcs with long history such as ri, hci, njc or vjc.
Stop comparing guys. Move aside. Let those nyjc genuine parents have a chance to discuss fruitfully in this thread.
P/S: It’s also not accurate to compare % of scorers with 3H2 distinctions between JCs as the range for grade A is very wide. It may be from 70 to 100! Hence rank point is not an accurate comparison because one JC may have more students with lower grade A students than another although the % of 3H2 distinctions may be higher. -
