That is if you are from RI/HCI and you can get straight As : ) Not all RI/HCI student gets straight As cuz I know them. They are variously in our local unis in many different courses.
And not all other JC students score badly too.
Ivy leagues/top unis look at yr CCA profile, competitions you participate in, yr PS, even yr NS record and ofc yr academic record, not the JC you come from. Basically how much of a changemaker are you.
Getting straight As is not that difficult for any JC students if they work hard.
Getting a scintillating profile is the harder part. This is the part that I think Raffles does best in. Hence their higher numbers in the Ivies.
But if we are not looking at profiles, just the academic record alone, the JCs do not matter.
There are RI/HCI rejected for Law/Medicine but other JC/poly students getting in. I did not hear it from others but know it from actual students from JC/poly (other than RI/HCI) getting in.Yes it is true that if you are rejected for Law/Medicine, you will feel outcast why your peers can get in but you can’t since you came from the top JCs. -

Think the comparison quoted was 4As vs 4A*s.
If you are talking about raw scores - not possible.floppy\" post_id=\"1937966\" time=\"1569574142\" user_id=\"97579:

I don't think this is possible.
An A* by definition has to be of a higher score than an A in the same subject.
Therefore, based on the formula, the A* T-score has to be higher than the A T-score since the average and the standard deviation numbers are exactly the same for the same exam.
So 4 A* will definitely outscore 4As in the end.
But maybe the final 3 digit number rounded can theoretically be the same... 260.4 and 259.6 => 260?
But you are talking about t-scores - it's possible.
Each subject t-score is weighted / compared against the same subject score.
Hence... if everyone is scoring A* in the same subject, your subject t-score isn't going to be high.
If everyone is scoring B in the subject, while you are getting an A, your subject t-score is going to be much higher.
Even if the 4A student scored the highest possible A marks, it wouldn't be possible to outscore the 4A* student scoring the lowest possible A* score for the same subject.
Eg 89 v 90 for all 4 subjects[/quote]Hi, not 4A*, it’s 3 A* -

Was reading and noticed later why you didnt think it was possible. The above is “4 A” and “3 stars 1 A”.
Errr... this one is mathematically possible meh?ilovelaksa\" post_id=\"1937915\" time=\"1569569568\" user_id=\"88602:
There are children with AAAA and A*A*A*A scoring the same PSLE score.

It’s possible for 4A to score higher than 3A* 1A
It’s not possible for 4A to score higher than 4A* -
What’s the highest AAAA Tscore you have encountered?

What is “yr ps”?.

Lets not waste time on the few n far betweens. Im talking about your majority.
But lets focus on the psle for now.... -

actually can first assume that the angle is ninety degrees as perpendicular so there will be a right angle. then use the other angles to find out whether it adds up to 180 degrees ( as question says it’s a straight line ). my friend did that and she got 180 degrees in the end so i think it’s true.[/quote]Yes my Ds also try that . He was sad that didn't check other nos and got this part wrong .
what is the correct answer for part (c) ?phtthp\" post_id=\"1937982\" time=\"1569575864\" user_id=\"35251:

Answer:
a) False
b) False
c) True
True or Not possible to tell ?
He told me if u assume the angle to be 85 degree still work out to be 180 .
