Sorry I am quite suaku here...how do we count distinctions? And how to obtain 9 distinctions? 2 H1, 4 H2, and 3 H3s or is it 3 H1, 4 H2 and 2 H3s? Lost touch with the times, heh.

\"　　莱佛士书院（高中部）去年的A水准会考成绩表现格外亮眼，四名考生以九科特优、高级母语A1的成绩成为全国之冠。这也是自2007年A水准新课程会考以来，考获全特优成绩人数最多的一年，而且都出自莱院。
　　四名优异考生皆是莱院直通车课程的学生，唯一在新加坡土生土长的邱嘉慧（18岁）是一名双语精英，曾获颁总理双语书籍奖。另外三人金晨天（19岁）、张梦石（18岁）和阿迪亚（Raghunathan Adithya，18岁）分别在中国北京、上海和印度真奈出世，但五岁前就移居来新加坡。\"

Reported that the 4 aces from RI... Only 1 is local SG...

What difference does it make if they are local born or not? It still just shows that RI churns out more people good at aceing exams.

Au contraire. RI students excel in much more than just exams.

Aiyah I wouldn’t bother to counter the skeptics. After numerous int’l science Maths awards, competition victories tt cover almost every category imaginable, countless accomplished sportsmen, businessmen, leaders in the arts scene, drs, lawyers, community leaders, playwrights, so on n so forth, people still make sweeping statements tt ri is good at producing only exam smart people. Oxbridge n ivy leagues n scholarship panels must be blur for the past couple of decades then, to time and time again believe in the potential of rafflesians.
