Oh yes yes, our sec sch is one of the few with a swimming pool! yes up the hill too. You dunno who his wife is? Ms Nair. I dun remember Mr Hodge taught Bio leh. Maybe I was in sec 1 then, so no Bio class.

Hi tigger88,
You must be quite a few years younger than me then! During my time (Sec 3 Bio), Mr Hodge was still a very eligible young man. :evil:

OIC! I think I can still remember who she is ie. Ms Nair...though I don't think she ever taught my class before...

Gee thanks mate!

ahem...Mr Hodge wasn't married after I finished O'level...so maybe I am your senior leh.

Anyone knows how many perfect score 45/45 do ACS (I) has for 2010 results?

[autolycus]

ACS(I) had 28 perfect 45/45 scores, after fielding 441 candidates.

[bromath]

And how many in the world got 45?

[autolycus]

ACS(I) takes exams in November with most of the southern hemisphere. The data for the worldwide results can be found in the IB statistical bulletins found http://www.ibo.org/facts/statbulletin/.


For November 2010, worldwide there were 62 45/45 full scores, and ACS(I) had 28 of them. The November 2010 worldwide successful candidature (i.e. they passed) was 5050, while ACS(I)'s successful candidature was 441.

This means that the percentage of 45-pointers as a portion of successful candidates worldwide was about 6.35%. ACS(I)'s candidature accounted for 8.7% of the total passes but 45.2% of the 45-pointers.

Note: the northern hemisphere has 10x the candidature, roughly, because of the worldwide population distribution. The results for their June 2011 sitting have just been released but the statistical bulletin has not yet been compiled.

Another forum said that ACS(I) had many perfect score because of drilling, as another school got it naturally. Is it true?

[autolycus]

I don't think there's any such thing as getting it 'naturally'. But some ways of education are more tedious than others, true.

To be honest, the practices in the school are so hypocritical, the senior management so into playing favourites and lording it over their own personal fiefdoms, the teachers so into all talk and no action....it's enough to drive people OFF Christianity rather than to it.


It's a glib, self-indulgent, hypocritical, arrogant Christianity they practice with so many \"roll your eyes\" moments it's not funny.....not at all like the real deal.....

I know so many students who are turned off, FAR more than those pulled to it. And those turned off include a large majority of those already Christians.

That's your personal opinion, and you have a right to it. I would also say that your opinion includes many sweeping statements. I think that you are actually stating an opinion that applies to about 20% of the staff or less. That's bad enough; no need to tar the rest with your over-broad brush.

Perhaps you need to be more critically honest with yourself.

And perhaps you need to actually experience the school before talking. 20% of the staff? Try talking to the students and what they think of their teachers. You'll quickly realise that the generalisations are worth their weight. I'm not talking about the PR that any school is good at, I'm talking about actual student feedback regarding said issue. How easy it is to say \"don't generalise\" when you don't know the specifics...
