      Please don't ever compare Nanyang Junior College to ( RI / Hwa Chong)

      Because


      It is not fair to Nanyang JC at all

      Why, not fair ?

      Because

      They are in different camp.

      RI, Hwa Chong and all other IP JCs like Eunoia, Victoria, Dunman High etc, all admit in PSLE students at 12 yo, where students got 6 long years ahead to be groomed via their individual in-house various IP Talent Development program.


      In stark contrast,
      Nanyang JC is not even an IP JC, hence only got a very short 2 years stunt to prepare JAE students for A-level. In other words, Nanyang JC learning journey is very very short, only 2 short years compared to all other IP JCs with 6 long years ahead advantage in terms of grooming talent.

      What is 6 long years vs. 2 short years ?

      6 divided by 2, how many ?
      3

      That means IP-JCs
      like
      ( RI, Hwa Chong, Eunoia,etc ) experienced or possess 3 times the amount of time frame advantage to groom their students' talent,
      compared to Nanyang JC or any other Non-IP JCs.



      So, if ever anyone want to compare Nanyang JC,

      who should u compare with, to be fair ?

      Compare Nanyang JC with
      rest of all other \"Non-IP\" JCs, then is considered \"fair and square\",

      because

      all these Non-IP JCs function on the same common ground : only 2 short years of time frame!
      Don't think you are right to say that RI/HCI/Eunoia had 6 years to groom. It is still 2 years. RI takes in IPs from RI(sec) and RGS, HCI takes in IPs from chinese high and NYGH, Eunoia takes in from CHS/SCGS/St. Nick, they are all different schools. The only difference is that they took in IP students who are already the top 10% and did not joined O Level exam which the JAE students take part in.

          1) Hci
          2) Ri
          3) Nyjc (non IP JC, steady!)
          4) Vjc
          5) Ejc
          Lets face it.

            My DD graduated last year and did well for her A Levels.


            But like any other schools or JCs, there are very good and not so good teachers.

            But overall, the JC has done very well overall.

                Congrats to yr DD!
                Kudos to Ny Head, teachers for always sparing a listening ear to Ny students' feedback, reinventing its teaching strategies
                to pre cohort well for A Level Exams.

                    Not really sure. If I can remember correctly, my DD said median UAP is 85.

                    So, I think they have done pretty well overall for the majority of their subjects.

                        Total,
                        how many JC1 classes of (BCME + PCME) are there in NYJC, including students from the \"Arts\" stream permitted to study these subject combination too ?


                        How about other JCs ?
                        Is NYJC flexible subject combination being repeated in other JCs, as well ?
                        Can

                        (RI / Hwa Chong / Eunoia / National / Temasek / Dunman High / River Valley High) permit their \"Arts\" stream students, to loosely or flexibily, take up JC1 (BCME or PCME) subject combination, that traditionally fall under \"Science\" stream, but students actually entered (got admitted in) under the Arts COP, not via the Science COP ? Or these JCs bar (stop) the students from \"jumping ship\" or \"crossing-over\" into these popular, traditional Science stream subject combination ?
                        I was told about a loophole to get into NY via Art stream to study Science stream -PCME or BCME. So is it true ? It could be a bonus or curse depending on how you look at this loophole. How long will this loophole remains ?

                        From an e-open house, another JC near expressway mentioned that they do not allow Art stream students to do Science stream - PCME, BCME.

                        To add on, Nanyang Junior College is one of the few colleges in Singapore not allocating an 'S' to Science classes and 'A' to Arts classes since the new curriculum was introduced in 2006, opting instead to avoid such labels to foster a greater sense of college spirit.
