GCE A level result 2019 @ 22nd Feb 2019

[ngl2010]

Anybody has studied whether the COP ranking corresponds to the schools’ A level performance?

Among all the JC, I realised that RI provides the most comprehensive stats by getting down to the exact percentages ... so parents don't need to double-guess whether more than 4 out of 10 is 41% or 49%, about 5 out of 10 is 45% or 49%, 6 out of 10 is 55% or 69% etc. The sch has always been very transparent in its sharing.

Actually the 2 main stats are the mean and median UAS. All sch should at least share one, if not both of them. The rest of the stats are more or less peripheral.

As I said earlier...

It's easy to be transparent when you are heads and shoulders above everyone else.
For the rest... always highlight the good points, muddle the good-but-not-so points, ignore the weak points.

I think likely the interpretation is from the NYJC P's youtube sharing. He said, \"For Maths and Sciences, more than seven out of ten of you scored distinctions\" (about 45s into the clip). But that sentence is so ambiguous. More than 7 out of 10 of the students scored distinctions for math and sciences, does it mean >70% of students scored at least 1 distinction in Math/Chem/Phy/Bio? H1 or H2? This is very different from saying that 70% of the students scored distinctions in each of the four H2 subjects....

That's my interpretation as well.
Instead of:
H2 Maths: >70%
H2 Chemistry: >70%
H2 Physics: >70%
H2 Biology: >70%

I believe it's more likely:
More than 70% has an A in either one or more of Maths / Chem / Phy / Bio

I want to applaud RI/RIJC for, once again, encouraging rafflesians to realise their academic potential to the maximum allowed by MOE, ie 13 units.

6 pupils scored the maximum 9As.

Do you know this year in total how many students achieved 9 As?

I don’t know abt the other JCs. Only RIJC’s.

Anyone knows HCI's Mean RP? How about HCI's individual subjects' performance? The entire row is empty except for the '6 in 10' distinctions for 3H2s.

Mommyng, you've done us a favour by compiling the above. Thanks!

HCI mean UAS 85.

Thanks mommy Ng.
Someone posted VJC mean UAP as 83.6

I got confused with all the mean(average) and median UAS.


Median UAS is the UAS at the 50th percentile and mean is the average UAS.

Based on historical data, is median UAS usually higher than mean UAS?

So RI mean UAS is 84.5.
NYJC median or mean UAS is 85.X?

Then NJC median UAS is 84.4, so what is its mean UAS?

You are right. median is usually higher than mean based on historical data. NYJC median is probably around 85 since they said 50% of their students attained more than 85 UAS. So, at 50 percentile, it stands right at 85.

NJC median UAS is 84.4. Mean should be lower than that, usually 1-3 points lower. these number is quite credible as NYJC cop in recent years is 7 while NJC is 8. So, njc attaining slightly lower result is about right.

Agree with you. I think the reported Median RPs for the above JCs are reasonable. If you choose to use Mean, you must ensure you haven't got outliers in your cohort to pull your entire Mean down.

For those who reported Means, I wonder if they had computed their Means based on students with 3H2 passes + GP? Did they hit 100% passes? So far only RIJC's been upfront and transparent in announcing they had 98% passes, meaning there's 2% of them for some reason that didnt pass their A levels. There's another IPJC which achieved 99% passes but I cannot recall which one. How about other IPJCs? All 100% passes?
