      It's all Nebbermind's fault. 😆


      He started it! :imanangel:

      And he's too HOT! :evil:
      He's not done under that leaf for sooo long! :salute:

      But I play no part in this DSA, DIRECT SPERM ADMISSION, where IQ and Sports (swimming) matters.

      Nebbermind,

Don't waste precious resources on such perceived greener patches. Our fertility rate is already very low (don't ask me for stats). Don't let this an excuse to say we have no brains or bring in tadpoles from elsewhere. There is only a few good eggs. We want our tadpoles to grow up to be sakae frogs not nerdy toads only.

          Another reason perhaps why we may be less competitive is the insistence by some schools to buy computers/laptops/tablet to expose students to IT at too young an young age resulting in computer games addiction. No stats unfortunately. Unless proven to be of practical use perhaps the schools should do away with buying laptops which may refocus local kids on studies. 🦆

            I’m curious why is there only ONE top? I’m not asking this becos I want more kids scoring 285 but why just 1? There are so many candidates and trs don’t mark comparing scripts, they mark based on the reburics, so should be possible to have more than 1 student scoring same marks. Is this the result of T-score conversion?

              what's the criteria to calculate this T-score ?
              what're all the parameters placed inside this T-score computation ?

                Capital letters cost you at least a -2.
                Using a singular verb (is) with a plural noun (criteria) cost you another -1.
                Examiner spilling his coffee on your test paper cost you -5.

For all you know the T-scores are highly moderated and I'm guessing T-scores could be differentiated by groupings such as First class (goes to HOT schools), business class (LOT schools), coach class T-score students (PBL schools). Leave a gap between the groupings so it is difficult to appeal. THis way easier to manage the students and parents when they are posted to a good school but not their ideal school? Who has stats put up your hand? :?

                      i saw Asiaones news, they published the pictures of top boy from Pathlight. It is people’s decision whether they want to inform the media or not. Can’t totally stopped.

                        But if you are top in NYPS and inform the media, you will probably get hantam until flat.
