All About 2011 GCE A-Level Examination Results

There is only this statistic from VJC:
\"55 Victorians achieved perfect *University Admission Points of 90. 167 Victorians scored at least 88.75 points. 273 Victorians attained at least 87.5 points.\"

What about the rest of the VJC cohort which forms the greater majority ?

VJC was No 1 in the JC ranking for 1995 and 2001.

Do you have the MOE links for the ranking?

I do not have the links. Think they were mentioned in the VJC college magazine. I found this. Look under 1995 and 2001.

I don't think PSLE COP is the only indicator for A Level results. VS has students as high as 272 if I can recall. In those days, VJC enjoy having good students from the East like Dunman High, Anglican High, Tanjong Katong Girls', Tanjong Katong Sec, St Patrick's, Katong Convent, as well as attracting top students from other SAP schools, RI and RGS.

Unfortunately, I have no idea about that.

VJC was No 1 in the JC ranking for 1995 and 2001. It was second in many years. Compare with those years, VJC has dropped further behind RJC and HCJC. This is due to the Integrated Programme at RJC and HCJC, and it does not help when the top VS students opt to go to RJC in recent years. With the IP in VS and Cedar now, hope VJC can compete with RJC and HCJC again.

Apart from these, RJC, HCJC and VJC have very long traditions and excelled in many CCAs besides academically.

In those days, to be fair, NJC and TJC did very well too.

However, it seems that currently, RI and HCI are both in a league of their own whereas the other first tier JCs seemed to have slowly fall behind

I have the MOE links for JCs performance indicators in 1995 and 2001. VJC was indeed ranked first in 2001.

I understand in JCs, there are lecture and tutorial classes. Lecture are usually conducted in a bigger group whereas tutorial classes are smaller, say < 30 class size.


Do RI, HCI, RVHS have the same practice or differently?

Thanks.

In assessing the overall performance of an individual jc, i feel we need to evalute their mean score which closely reflect their cohort performance in general. This benchmark has already taken into full consideration our local unis entry criteria.


The other factor as i had outlined earlier is based on 3H2 contents. This is generally use by good unis word-wide.

Simply quoting no of students scoring the no of distinctions does not
reflect the cohort’s performance. An average high scorer in PSLE or O-level needs to know his/her potential outcome when choosing their choice of schools to study.

If more schools would to publish the above stastistics on their web-sites, we can accurately define the individual school’s academic perforamance taking into account the quality of their annual students intake.

can the no of 3 H2 distinctions and above for tjc deduce from here?

Thanks Kiaaik for the statistics on VJC.


Let us use VJC as an example to compute a jc’s academic performance.

Cohort size; take for example is 800(hypothectical only).

No of students attained at least 87.5 pts =273.
No of students attained at least 86.25 pts=?
No of atudents attained at least 85.0 pts = ?
No of students attained at least 83.75 pts = ?
No of students attained at least 82.5 pts = ?
No of students attained at least 81.25 pts =?
No of students attained at least 80.0 pts = X

Using X/800, what is the percentage? The % should be at least 78% to reflect VJC’s status as a tier 1 jc. Anything lower than that is considered to be a disappointment not withstanding the no of distinctions scored by its good students.

Similary, we can measure its results base on the % of students achieving quality passes of ABB H2 and above.

On the strength of their statistics revealed to-date, their 2011 cohort has performed well.

What grade is needed for a NTU / NUS Business course today? I remember in my time, early 90s, a "ABC" grade will do.
