I am not sure about NJC cohort size, so I can't really calculate. They have 41 with 7 distinctions and 11 with 8 distinctions and that ad up to 52. If the cohort size is 800, then it is 6.5%. If it is 700, then 7.4%I think this year's result is a slight improvement over last year's. The percentage of 7 distinctions and above are comparable or even better than NJC, VJC , TJC and RV. For a smaller cohort size, we have roughly the same no. of 8 distinctions as the established Top 5 JCs. But have to watch the % of 3H2 distinction though..it's behind the above mentioned JCs.
Anyway, it's quite difficult to gauge which JC are better now that the ranking exercise has ceased. Basically all JCs are just revealing their impressive statistics and hiding their not so impressive ones. A school can flaunt their 9 distinction holder but say nothing about the rest of their cohort. The only conclusion we can draw is that the top-tier schools are RI and HCI and there are very good second-tier schools which consist of DHS, RV, NJC, VJC and TJC
As for RV, they have 23 with 7 distinctions, 8 with 8 distinctions and 1 with 9 distinctions. That adds up to 32. Their cohort size is 343. That gives 9.3%.
I agree with you the above are just for top tier students. That is why I hope to have statistics for 6 distinctions or even 5 distinctions to get a better picture. -

Nobody mention anything about ACJC?

I feel that the better guage is the mean rank point of the college’s cohort vs-a-vs its historical performance rather than displaying the high achievers only which doesnt reflect the true picture.
Example: the cohort size and the number of students that hve attained the following rank points:
Above 85 points-90
Above 80-85 points
Above 75-80 points
Above 70-75 points
Above 65-70 points
Below 65 points -
The percentage of 7 distinctions: RV:9.3%, DHS:6.9%
The percentage of 3 H2 distinctions: RV:43%, DHS:37%kevin1:

I read ACJC that day but didn't have time to put down the result.

8 distinctions - 4
7 distinctions - 8
6 distinctions - 51
5 distinctions - 53
Percentage with 3 or more distinctions in H2 subjects: 23.1%
Number of students 832 -
Congratulations. I was a tutor to a RV student so I can vouch for RV's academic rigour in its sciences and maths.
Still, RV's result is within the range of that expected of this group of schools which includes NJC, VJC, DHS and TJC. If you really wish to nit pick, you'll find that RV has only 100% pass in 16 subjects while DHS has 35.RVHS:

I have checked TJC number already. 9 distinctions (1), 8 distinctions (2), 7 distinctions (25), 6 distinctions (86). That adds up to 114. Assume cohort size is 800, then 14%.Congratulations. I was a tutor to a RV student so I can vouch for RV's academic rigour in its sciences and maths.

VJC, 8 with 8 distinctions, 43 with 7 distinctions, 135 with atleast 5 distinctions. The cohort size is between 800-850. I take 825. The percentage is 16.4%. But percentage with at least 6 distinctions will be lower than which they did not release.
Though RV has a small lead this time, it is still not clearly out of the tier yet like what you say. It will need to attract better students and at same time improve further. But everybody are improving! -

not taking anything away from DHS, i think we need to know the total number of subjects being offered by each school, then we can make a better comparison. For example, one may offer more H3 subjects, each with only 1-5 students, then it is easy to 'clock' up 100% pass for those subjects. i do know RV do not offer KI but I am not sure about other 'not so popular' subjects that are being offered. will find out more when my child reaches that stage.Congratulations.

Can someone pls share how is GPA being computed in DHS?

pinky, GPA in DHS is computed as follows :
A+ = GPA 4.0 for 80 and above (not 75)
A = GPA 3.6 for 70 - 79
B = GPA 2.8 for 60 – 69
C = GPA 2.0 for 50 – 59
Promotion criteria for YR 1 GPA > or = 2.0
Promotion criteria for YR 2 GPA > or = 2.4 (may revise upwards to 2.8, but currently still stick to 2.4).
can share how is GPA (or equivalent) computed in HCI ??
