Someone told me that he had \"o\" point. Is it possible ?


That means 6 points minus 2 points for CCA, 2 points for Higher Chinese and 2 points for affiliation ?

I believe you can only deduct maximum 4 bonus points. So even if you have 2 bonus points for CCA, 2 for HCL, 2 for affiliation, your aggregate is still 2. Can only deduct max 4 points.

'if you really want to know, check the moe website on JAE and bonus points.

Is it very hard to appeal to cjc if my daughter got 13points after deducting 4 bonus points?

Is certainly is. Normally appeal cases are those whose nett scores just meet its cop-partial or those who have something to offer ie sports/arts talents.

Chose the next one near your home.

hi everyone i need some advice, hope u guys could help me


uhm i've got a raw score of 7 and 3 bonus points, so after minusing it would be 4 points. Should i put VJC as 1st choice? It is a little far.. about 1hour and 20mins from my home (I tried haha) and the cutoff is exactly 4 as well do i even stand a chance in getting into VJC? or should i just try for another school?

thanks :D!

We were considering this scenario these past few days. Eg. is it worth it to appeal to a top JC using CCA if points just fall short of COP or better to simply go for JC that the child comfortably meets the COP but it's a 2nd-tier JC.

Still wondering, but we've already submitted the JAE and are veering more towards not bothering to appeal. I myself have been in a top JC - teachers not all that great anyway.

Posting of teachers to schools are random (usually is the proximity from home). It is the environment in JC. I think we should give other JCs a chance. If anything, the teachers will be more motivated to teach because they know the kids are not as bright compared to those from the top JCs. I have seen many students who went to 2nd-tier JCs and doing very well there. A handful of them managed to top the A level in the school. Among them, some were awarded scholarship in University.

There are many many success stories on students not from top tier jcs. Take a look at the performances of our tier-2 jcs, their results are respectable. At the lower level of tier 2, namely St.Andrew, Nanyang and CJC, each one of them is positioning their students to do well. All three of them are popular with good 0-level scorers.

The quality of teachers are on par with those from top tier. Many of these are alumnus of top jcs. Many students with nett scores of 2-10 are posted there. In particular, jcs like ACJC,AJC and Meridian, they have many high ability students that are there by choice because of distance, subject combination and ccas. Many from these three actually qualify for places in top jcs.

There are also disavantages of being in a top jc. Chief of which includes the higher degree of difficulties of being recongnised for their academic prowess due to the presence of many top IP students. Many landed up as just faces in the crowd especially in large cohort size of HCI and RI. Second on the list is the challenge of leading a student council or alternatively, top exco positions chairman/vice-chairman of ccas. A promising new student will find the task of gaining peer support rather daunting vs their mates who have been with the cohort since yr1. Thirdly, is easier to obtain an excellent testimony for scholarship application in a 2nd tier jc than one from top tier due to difference in standards of general academic ability.

All the above points are just my personal opinion.

Actually these too were my thoughts. Might as well go to a good 2nd-tier jc and excel. Close-by, has a quality cca group for dd too. The only thing is, I've seen how dd excelled in her secondary school, like as if she was spurred on by all the many top students there lah - so she was not that affected by being a \"small fish in a big pond\".

About the students gaining peer support in an IP school - i suppose this situation will be less prevalent in a JC like NJC. The IP cohort each year is around 200, while the intake at JC1 is 500 from outside. Not sure about others.

There is a little different from MOE website PDF and http://www.catholichigh.moe.edu.sg/images/stories/attachments/308_2010%20GCE%20O-Level%20Results%20Summary_sch%20website.pdf.


Why put 9A1 1A2 from Cath High is Top Chinese Students and not the 1 of the 3 from Cath High with 10A1?
