Was definition of difference in maths properly defined to kids and taught that maths lang is not std English?

I recall during my time, maths qns were not phrased very well.

In my time (and I'm older, so I'm referring to the 70s), the words \"sum\", \"difference\", \"product\" and \"quotient\" were well-drummed into us in Maths.

all the top academic students (top 10%) identified by PSLE, most of them will enrol into IP schools. And statistically , these students should continue to perform better than non IP students (outside top 10 %) in A level examination 6 years later. Buy why NYJC , with all its students from JAE intake (outside top 10%), consistently outperforms many IP JCs in A level?

Because it’s 南洋

NYJC is a curious case where a lot can be learnt from what is happening there. there could be some big announcement on it.

Even if your premise is correct (I'm not suggesting that it is or isn't), I don't think one can come to the conclusion of \"outperform\" (or \"underperform\") by comparing a JAE only JC's results to an IP JC's results. The IP JC's results are a mix of IP and JAE students (the mix varies across the IP JCs and further, the JAE COP for all of the IP JCs is not the same). You would need to get results by how the students entered JC and that typically isn't released (one JC has released some stats in the past).

This discussion stems from the particular ip jc topic earlier? Saw that but cannot be bothered to take offence. Let them be in their ivy tower. All the bullsxxt implying ip better than Jae.... Lol i thought time has turn back to 60s or 50s....
Makes one wonder if the trouble started from creating ip, just have everyone take o level and prove their superiority if they really think so. I recall reading abt some from ip actually wanted to take o level exam but not allowed. Like how gep kids do extra in sch but still take psle.
When students be it I or J or A or B enter JC, they are all just students. I believe the kids mostly think so. Maybe it is just parents.

Anyone can share the % of J1 take are from O level for these JCs:

Eunonia
Dunman High
VJC

Hi. For the Year 6s (AY2024) in our school, IB MT B SL results (average grade ~6.8) are also released today. The cohort sat for their papers in Nov 2023. If the student does not obtain a grade 7 (a score of at least ~84% in this sitting), a breakdown of each component would be given to them. That is, scaled marks for oral, paper 1, listening, & reading


Congratulations to everyone!!

For JC/Poly posting through JAE after O level results, where in MOE website can I confirm if order of choices would matter? Like for Sec 1 posting?

From the way i read it, choice order does not matter. It remains old system (not new system like current S1 posting):
