[quote=\"Hong heng\"]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.

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[/quote]When you take in the top 5% to 10% of the cohort, and you produce the top 5% to 10% of the cohort, that's value-adding.

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

I second this

This Year RVHS perform better than VJC

What was Victoria Junior College mean UAS, this year ?

It is 83.6 as shown on the slide

[Hong heng]

Oh then I think this year DHS, RV and VJ really very close. Someone reported DHS’ to be 84. And RV one is also Very close to 84.

No one can confirm for RV?

[Hong heng]

Someone mentioned for RV is about 83.8. Not sure of credibility. But looking at their 3H2 distinctions percentage , number of students getting at least 6 distinctions etc, it seems believable.

[andante]

Any idea whether there is any 8 distinction ?

[gsp_lau]

Yes, definitely have 8 Distinctions


For RVHS this year UAS

1. UAS=90: 13%
2. UAS>85: 57%
3. UAS>80: 80%
