[quote=\"octoberbaby\"]From the website, there are 20 TOP schoos and the student names listed there. Are they P5 or P6 or mixed? Seems GEPers.

Junior Cat are the P5s & below & Open Cat are the P6s. Both include the GEP.

You mean below P5 also allowed to take part?[/quote]Yup, DS2 P5 this year but this is his 2nd attempt, his last try was in P4.

Paisay .... maybe that's why he can take again this year. And the title of the Certificate will state whether it's a Certificate of Participation or Credit or Distinction or High Distinction.

The top 30 names in the website inclusive open and junior category right?


From the names of the school, majority of them are GEPers. Nanyang, Nanhua, Rosyth, RGPS, Tao Nan…,minority from the neighbourhood schools.

Strange ACS, St Hildas, SCGS, Pei Hwa, Catholic High, and those schools usually we buy test papers, are not in the list.

Hi, SCGS and Pei Hwa are not GEP schools. So it is quite hard to compete with the cream of the cohort in those GEP schools.

Catholic High is the top school for open cat this yr.

Pei Hwa is in the top 20 schools for Junior and Open cat...not too bad for a non GEP.

Top 15: Higher Distinction
Top 16 to 50: Distinction
Top 51 to 120: Credit

Hi Dyh,
Just wonder how do u get this info ? Can't see this in the website.

I am still puzzle with interpreting the result ..
Say if a student's result is 90% , does it mean that he is the top 90% as compared with his peers taking the same result?
Say, out of 3000 children, he shd be at 300th position right?
IF this is correct, then he shd not be awarded a Credit cert, right ?

But there is a child with < 85% but still can get Credit. Why so hu


Anyway can help to explain? :?

Yup.. can anyone explain why huh?

There are 2 lists, one under Junior and the other under Open. About 30 Toppers each list.

Yup.. can anyone explain why huh?[/quote]the only explanation i can think of is that many kids have the same score. After all, there are only 20 questions and all multi choice. so it is very possible to have a few hundred kids getting the credit award because they are all ranked 120th.
