DSA 2023
-
I read this thread with much interest and would like to give my opinion on two things.
1. AL 3-4 point difference is not actually a huge difference. It is likely that the student missed out within 1 mark for those subjects. I am observing this within my friends. Many are stuck at 78-79 and struggling to get 80 or are stuck at 83-84 and struggling to get 85…etc. if they are lucky, they will jump those few marks in PSLE. While others are 1 mark about cutoff and constantly worried that their AL will drop 2-4 points when PSLE results are declared. In the end, write the exams, close your eyes and pray to God if you believe in one.
2. When MOE creates policy that we can apply for 2 talent areas per school…the school simply cannot say, student has no focus. If school says so, they are in violation of MOE policy. No school would want to be seen as violating MOE policy. -

Hi,
Can someone please give your comments on String Ensemble (Violin) DSA.
Any idea what the Grade requirement is?
Looking at SOTA, SCGS and NJC.
Thank you. -
Grade is one thing… the other is her competition/ performance experience….
Just a note: Violin/ Piano / Music are one of the most competitive domains for DSA esp so for top schools… -

For those aspiring to enter SOTA via the Art DSA, taking part in their Art Competition is certainly a step in the right direction. If you get into the top 50 (or better yet, the top 10), that is highly advantageous. Of course, having awards, certs and recognition from other sources is helpful too but the SOTA P6 Art Competition is a must (IMHO).

Just heard HCI A level result median is 88. Consistently the top jc not only this year, but also past few years. It seems like they are better value added than RI.

When you make this kind of comment (top JC, value added), you will probably want to:

1. Offer RI median A level result for comparison
2. Compare HCI 2016 COP vs RI 2016 COP
3. Compare HCI (JC) 2020 COP vs RI (JC) 2020 COP -

Do note HCI mean should be lower than 88. -

Not to be anal but 3 in 10 isn't 30% and 1 in 4 isn't 25%. Part of the reason publicist often present the data in this way, is to obfuscate the true %ages.
RI mean 84.4, 25% cohort 90
HCI median 88, 30% cohort 90
Do note HCI mean should be lower than 88.
Based on publicly available info:
HCI vs RI
1. ??? vs 98% achieved 3 H2 passes
2. Four out of 10 scored 4 H2 distinctions and above vs 43% scored distinctions in all four subjects
3. Six out of 10 attained 3 H2 Distinctions and above vs 58% scored at least 3H2 distinctions in their content-based subjects
4. Three out of 10 had a perfect UAS of 90 vs one in four had a perfect UAS of 90
5. 8 out of 10 scored distinctions for H2 Literature in English - same same
6. 7 out of 10 scored distinctions for H2 History - same same
7. 6 out of 10 scored distinctions for H2 Geography, Economics - same same
8. 6 out of 10 scored distinctions for H2 Biology, Chemistry, Physics vs 7 out of 10 scoring distinctions in Biology, Chemistry, Physics
9. 8 out of 10 scored distinctions for H2 Mathematics vs 7 out of 10 scoring distinctions in Mathematics
10. 5 out of 10 scored distinctions for H1 General Paper vs 6 out of 10 scoring distinctions in General Paper
11. ??? vs mean UAS of 84.4
12. Median UAS of 88 vs ???
13. HCI 2017 intake COP - 259 and NYGH - 264 vs RI - 260 and RGS - 261
14. HCI (JC) and RI (JC) 2021 intake COP - 5 / 4 (same same)
The data above suggests 各有千秋. I don't think we can say with certainty that A is better than B, or B is better at 'value-adding' than A. Both schools are certainly top of their game.
