MerlionInGermany:

How to get 23.1% for VJ?

173 at least 6 distinctions, 55 at least 7 distinctions. Total 753 students.
173/753 is 23.1%?

But yes, thanks for the effort mommyng, please do not misunderstand, I am not checking through everything to nitpick. Just reading the rows I am interested in.

Thanks again for compiling.

Ah, my spreadsheet accidentally keyed in 174/753..... No worries, as long as you understand that I am not doing this (compiling info for ksp) as a job . Anyway, here is an updated list with the latest info from NYJC P's youtube clip...

To add on to your spreadsheet, RI's mean UAS was reported as 84.5, and 0.5% with 9 Dist.

https://rafflespress.com/2019/02/22/a-level-results-2019-in-intellectual-pursuit/#more-30373

In terms of pure numbers, NJC's median UAS of 84.4 is very close to RI's mean UAS of 84.5. The only statistics that can be used for apple-to-apple comparison between the 2 schs is % of 3 H2 Dist. RI's one being much higher at 63% vs ~50% (this is not a slight on NJC as RI absorbs stronger intake so results should naturally be better). Does that mean that the closer one gets to the max 90 score, median UAS usually gets higher than mean UAS?

[iRabbit]

Interestingly, RI changed from reporting median UAS to mean UAS for the 2016 and 2017 A level results. Median UAS was reported to be 87.8 in 2016 while mean UAS was 85 in 2017.


Assuming that the sch performed consistently across the 2 years, it gives weight that median UAS will be higher than mean UAS when the score is close to 90.

Yesterday I received a WhatsApp compiled on the mean UAS of various JCs being circulated around (by friend’s friends).

I saw RI’s mean UAS 84.5. My friend and I were thinking was it fake news, especially when someone in KSP mentioned that NYJC’s mean UAS 85.X and HCI mean UAS 85.

As per their P, more than 4 in 10 in NYJC received 3 H2 As and pass in GP. That's probably the same PR specialist used by Eunoia (1 in 2), NJC (about 1 in 2), DHS (almost 50%) and Donald Trump in presenting numbers.

That's consistent with the modelling.

It's not a normal U curve because the upper limit is capped at 90 whereas the lower end can have a very long tail (it can be very low if RI real 3 H2 + GP pass is ~ 98 to 99%).

I think nyjc results should b pretty well or decent - their o level cut off is range of 7 - already better than ejc n tjc Jae for last 2 or 3 yrs . It still remains “humble “ though not an ip league . I do think the 7 pointers o level students producing gd A level
Results too, just like other mid tier ip jc

HCI website states 6 out of 10 obtained 3 H2 Dist. Does it mean exactly 60%?

I suppose it could be 63% (or even 59%)?
I suppose if more than 65% they would have stated “about 7 out of 10” lol.

That’s why there’s no point saying which is better and which is worst. It’s just a marketing exercise for all the JCs apart from RI (easy to be transparent when you are head and shoulders above everyone else). Get a good marketer and you could probably sell a chicken off as a Phoenix.

6 out of 10 could be anything from 55% to 69%, although I suspect calling it almost 70% would be better if it’s > 61% (see DHS eg).

Here’s a bad / good example for marketers:

One of the few JCs with a mean UAS is 80 and above.

Informatively, may as well as don’t say. But, it’s a good example of using a lot of words but saying nothing at all.
