The school's website mentions that 'Achieved >= 6 Distinctions' is 2 in 10....
So... >= 6 Distinction = 90 RP? If so.. funny why that school dun quote '90RP' which is understood by most as perfect score.

I don’t think 6 distinctions necessarily equate perfect 90 RP. See RI’s results — 444 out of 1126 students (or 39.4%) attained at least 6 distinctions, but only 1 in 4 obtained 90 RP.

To achieve \"at least 6 Distinctions\" is more difficult than 90 RP.
90 RP is computed from exactly 6 distinctions (distinctions in GP, Project work, and either 4H2 subjects or 3H2+1H1).
On the other hand, students with more than 6 distinctions achieved the additional distinctions in the more difficult/advanced H3 Papers (in my time many years ago, they were called S-Papers). As far as I know, H3 subjects do not count towards rank point calculation, but some students take it for interest, or to improve chances for scholarship or admission to (certain) overseas universities.

I think the critical thing here is whether MT is considered a distinction. If you achieve Mother Tongue A, and 5 other As (GP, PW and 3H2 As), you may not get 90 RP as your 4th content subject did not get A. So you can get 6 distinctions, and yet not get 90 RP, if MT is counted as a subject.

I have no idea whether schools consider MT a subject.

Mother Tongue is counted (including those who took HCL at Y4/Sec 4 with grades A1 or A2).

All the best.

Are H3s counted? Some kids take 2 H3 subjects, that brings the possible total to 9! I agree with you - if the distinctions are not in the grades that count towards the RP, then it's possible that students with 6 distinctions do not get 90RP.

Got it! Thanks!

Yes I am sure H3s are counted.

I suspect there are probably very few kids reading 2 H3s in any JC apart from RI or HCI, and JCs are extremely selective.

That said, I do think the number of students reading H3s, outside of HCI and RI, is really quite small. Even at RI/HCI, the proportion reading H3s, is smaller than the proportion that is not reading H3s (I think).

I suspect there are probably very few kids reading 2 H3s in any JC apart from RI or HCI, as this requires MOE's approval, and JCs are extremely selective in whom they recommend to MOE (not all of them get approval). There are even rarer cases of 3H2s + 2H3s, which don't require MOE's approval as it is within the approved number of academic units (i.e. same as 4H2s + 1H3).

That said, I do think the number of students reading H3s, outside of HCI and RI, is really quite small. Even at RI/HCI, the proportion reading H3s, is smaller than the proportion that is not reading H3s (I think).

1) H3s are counted.

2) There are very few kids reading 2 H3s in any JC (including RI and HCI).

All the best.

Thanks! I know very few read 2 H3s, but included that simply because it is possible.

GP, PW, 4H2 (or 3H2+1H1), H3 subjects and Mother Tongue are counted (including HCL at Y4/Sec 4 with grades A1/ A2) for “distinctions rate”. However for calculation of RP90, don’t have to include Mother Tongue if you didn’t do well.
