So... >= 6 Distinction = 90 RP? If so.. funny why that school dun quote '90RP' which is understood by most as perfect score. -
repeated…

I don’t think 6 distinctions necessarily equate perfect 90 RP. See RI’s results — 444 out of 1126 students (or 39.4%) attained at least 6 distinctions, but only 1 in 4 obtained 90 RP.

To achieve \"at least 6 Distinctions\" is more difficult than 90 RP.

90 RP is computed from exactly 6 distinctions (distinctions in GP, Project work, and either 4H2 subjects or 3H2+1H1).
On the other hand, students with more than 6 distinctions achieved the additional distinctions in the more difficult/advanced H3 Papers (in my time many years ago, they were called S-Papers). As far as I know, H3 subjects do not count towards rank point calculation, but some students take it for interest, or to improve chances for scholarship or admission to (certain) overseas universities. -
I think the critical thing here is whether MT is considered a distinction. If you achieve Mother Tongue A, and 5 other As (GP, PW and 3H2 As), you may not get 90 RP as your 4th content subject did not get A. So you can get 6 distinctions, and yet not get 90 RP, if MT is counted as a subject.
I have no idea whether schools consider MT a subject. -

Mother Tongue is counted (including those who took HCL at Y4/Sec 4 with grades A1 or A2).

All the best. -

Are H3s counted? Some kids take 2 H3 subjects, that brings the possible total to 9! I agree with you - if the distinctions are not in the grades that count towards the RP, then it's possible that students with 6 distinctions do not get 90RP.

Yes I am sure H3s are counted.

I suspect there are probably very few kids reading 2 H3s in any JC apart from RI or HCI, and JCs are extremely selective.
That said, I do think the number of students reading H3s, outside of HCI and RI, is really quite small. Even at RI/HCI, the proportion reading H3s, is smaller than the proportion that is not reading H3s (I think).
