      If u have done your research, even with 2016,2017 A level results, Rv is already value added. 2018, rv even value added much more.

        For Riverian and Dunmanian IP (Integrated program) students, at PSLE, their Cut-off-point for P6 students, is above minimum 250. Around 252 for RV and around 256, for Dunman High.

        As long as these two High schools are able to continue to value-add, even if JAE (Joint Admission Exercise) O-level students entered with Cut-off-point around 9 or 10 points, they will still be able to do well in GCE A level, because it is the \"value-addedness\" that will help them, turn them around, turn the situation around. Continue to keep up your good work, all Riverians and Dunmanians. Hao bang yah 🙂

        Agreed, both DHS and RVHS are most value added school :rahrah:

        Value added school?
        DHS and RV take in P6 kids with 250 above (top 5-10%). Chances that such colleges likely to produce good to excellent A results is higher than non IP colleges.

        RV:
        yr 2016. about 31% with 3H2 % A
        yr 2017. about 37% with 3H2 % A
        Just Based on 3 H2 % A result , results so so though it should had been better since its IP college. Other non IP college did better than RV.
        Based on 2018 results.
        Yes, RV did well. Lets see it can continue to sustain such results.
        Whats RV Mean Uni Rank Point? Nobody knows.

        DHS:
        Comparing its 2017 subjects results:
        F Maths, Chemistry, Geo, ELL and History results dropped sharply.
        GP, Bio, Lit improved much.
        About 45% scored 3 H2 Distinctions ( yr 2018) compared to 50% ( yr 2017).[/quote]One swallow doesn’t make a summer. Nevertheless, the President Scholarships were awarded to both DHS and RVHS graduates in recent years. Surely that means something - these schs are renowned, and so the most prestigious scholarships were offered to their students.

          Asking purely out of curiosity, how does one calculate the level of value-addedness a sch makes?

            Based on the quality of students the sch take in. MOE has some logarithm for calculation. Not sure of the accuracy though. Lol

              No? That's what all these colleges / IP schools are doing anyway. They are delivering what they should be delivering. While it's true that we can break down the spectrum in the 5% to 10% further... the top 10% of the top 10%, the top 50% of the top 5% etc... that is clutching at straws really.
              (P/S: MOE used to call them bands... and guess what, these schools belong to the same band... Band 1 schools take in Band 1 students, produce Band 1 students :siam: )

              Personally, never understood the point of comparing these fraction of a % in a small sample size when they are significantly indifferent in a larger sample. It's like a billionaire calling the multi-millionaire poor 🤷

                I got the impression the schools received from MOE a projected outcome based on the students intake quality. When the school achieve higher than the projected value that MOE provides, they will know if they have value added. In the old days when MOE published school ranking, there was a parameter called value addedness which MOE will calculate for each school. maybe, they are still calculating but is not released.

                  Yes, >40% is from 40% to 100%,

                  So NYJC should be much better than RI and HCI if base on your interpretation :rahrah:
                  Huh? That's your interpretation 😆
