      Hi Parent,

      During NYJC announcement yesterday, did the Principal announce that this exceptional boy's case was 2H3 and not 3H3 ?

        On clarification,

        The principal announced he got 9 Distinctions and the students concluded he must have taken 3 H3.

        My apologies for any misunderstanding. I just share what I heard.

          The only way to get 13AUs is 3H3, 4H2, PW and GP (3+8+1+1). SHE must be a once in a generation talent for MOE to make an exception to their own guidelines (HCI is correct to describe the student as such). My guess is she must have a long list of referees willing to vouch and write in for her.

          13AUs is 2H3, 4H2, PW, GP and MT (2+8+1+1+1), I believe

          While itโ€™s still 13AUs, it should rightfully be presented as 12+1 AU. However, that would have contradicted MOE policy and guidelines of 11+1 AUs and treatment of H3/H2 subjects. If an exception can be made for 2H3 and 4H2, you can be sure that maybe half of RI / HCI would be clamoring for it. For MOE to deviate, it has to be an unusual case for a once-in-a-generation talent ๐Ÿ˜‚

          TBH For HCI, I doubt the brightest pupils have HCL to contend with, especially so when the student likely came from a top SAP school. I doubt the 9 distinctions would include MTL.

            https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junior_college_%28Singapore%29
            H1 subjects are worth 1 Academic Unit (AU), H2 subjects 2 AUs, H3 subjects 1 AO and students are expected to take a minimum of 10 AUs (viz. 3H2+1H1) and a maximum of 12 AUs (viz. 4H2+1H3) inclusive of Mother Tongue Language (MTL)

            Note that when schools report the number of distinctions in A-level Results, it is inclusive of MTL. Taking 2H3s is considered an exception and approval from MOE is required; Iโ€™ve never heard of anyone being allowed to take 3H3s.

              It is all right, we understand how the interpretation arose, from the announcement made. Thank you for your kind, honest response. We appreciate. Thank you.

                  Seems like Parent has a habit of posting fake news about NYJC......the other time she claimed NYJC COP was 6/5 when it is actually 7/6

                  ryanryan,

                  I posted that NYJC COP was 6/5 was based on the initial news I received very early on the posting date. This was subsequently corrected by someone after it was officially announced.

                  My observation was based on some students COP 6 points net (10-4) not getting into the science stream. Later, news later emerged that COP 6 point net (8-2) got into Science stream.

                  So, sharing the initial observation is fake news?

                  Also, the NYJC boy who scored 9 Distinctions, including 3 H3, was announced by the principal.

                  If you don't know what you are talking about, don't accuse people of spreading fake news.


                  Well, now that it is confirmed that the student did not take 3 H3 and you have again apologized when called the bluff, who is the one that is spreading fake news on NYJC ?

                  If it was your first time, we can give you the benefit of the doubt ( as in the COP case). But you have again and again tried to substantiate the fake news ( by even saying the Principal announced it ! )

                    HI winsomeloosesomme,

                    Still waiting for your reply.

                    Hi Stetan,

                    Refer to my reply to lee_ly on Ejc thread today - de \"last paragraph\" @ 8.25am.

                    No, you still did not explain how NYJC can have \"excellent performance\" when it does not even reveal its UAS?[/quote]

                    Hi Winsomeloosesome,

                    Still waiting for your reply.

                      Yes, Parent didnt do on purpose.
                      If this cop news had been Ejc or other JCs, dont think you be so uptight.
                      Not sure if it was or wasn't done on purpose, only she herself knows.....

                      Well, at least for EJC or other IP JCs, we don't publish fake news...except for those coming from you.

                        Call it fake news or whatever you like.
