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

Thanks nn. With this new version of the forum, I don't seem able to logout - forever trapped in an eternal cycle of clicks. Lol

I thought we know the median UAS for both JCs?

NYJC median UAS around 85 or slightly higher.
NJC median UAS is 84.4 as they released.[/quote]

So simply based on that UAS (3H2, 1H1), roughly what's the % of NYJC students taking 4H2? 40%? 50%?
I believed IP JCs almost 100% taking 4H2.

Just sharing 2018 A Level cohort’s performance, will need some further contribution/input :

Noticed NUS extra 1.25 points for first choice course extends to some associate overseas colleges.

You’re amazing to dig out so much info. Thanks, Esteema.

Like what floppy shared, people are number crunchers and we love to slice, dice, and analyse what caused that x% improvement from this JC over the other. However one factor we often overlooked is the attrition rate. In RI's case, the intake should be 1,200 and last yr 1,190 took the As - an attrition rate of less than 1% which is very lenient for a top-tier sch (other sch may be equally humane, I'm not saying that they are not, just that I have no knowledge of other sch stats).

This pt resonates with me bcoz this yr during town hall, the sch's mgt shared that they do not want students to be unduely stressed by grades. Thus, they are going to lower the promotion criteria even further by removing some mandatory conditions and lowering others. So I think this 'less than 1% attrition rate' is here to stay, and will get even more lenient in years to come. By doing so, the sch is trying to give as many students a chance to progress as they possibly can. So while the sch is naturally proud of its stellar records at the top end of the bar, it will also accept the less than perfect records at the other end of the spectrum (2% without 3 H2 passes + pass in GP or KI) if the bigger objective of giving as many students a shot at the As is met.

The sch has made its decision, and it's not crunching stellar numbers at all costs. If some of its graduates are going to be our future leaders, I think there are valuable lessons to be learned here.

totally :please: your statement \"So I think this 'less than 1% attrition rate' is here to stay, and will get even more lenient in years to come.

Oh paiseh. :oops:

I tot I would share what I felt as there were earlier comparisons made between NJ and NY, and I tot that looking at pure scores didn’t tell the whole story.

Secondly I was quite shocked to read that RI’s ‘% 3H2 pass + GP/KI pass’ was lower than another mid-tier JC. So I reread the stats and came to realize that RI’s attrition rate was so low.

With DSA, IP and JAE mixed in among a school cohort, it’s pointless to compare apples with oranges, even though they are technically all fruits. Schools like RI, HCI, VJ are probably established and confident enough that students are performing where they should be. So, if one or two may be pulling down their “standards” by their leniency, no one is losing any sleep over it.


People who still stuck in the top 4, top 5 era… You know nothing, Jon Snow. It’s time to move on.

Actually it doesn’t matter if one doesn’t do well at the A levels at first try, I hv met A level retakers who scored much better. Almost all improved. There was even a child with AAA/B after she retook. She had CCDD the first time.

My son’s fren retook his A levels while in NS. Improved by 3.75 rp. He had offers from all the local unis before retake. No interview from local med. Our cop is too high. But his dream is to be a doctor. He persevered. This year, he was offered into a few Aussie (Monash included) and UK med schs. Now he is starting his term in one of them.
Follow yr dreams
