[quote=\"Mayugod\"]How does Hwa chong and raffles choose their 3 pointers? Is it all random or do they see your english/number of A1s??

Yeah does anybody knw??? From what I heard they look at English and no. of A1s n also HMT. So are these rumors true??

Yes, English is the first tie breaker. That's definitely true. Then HMT I think, since they said L1 is very important. As for number of A1s, I can't say conclusively that it's true, because MOE just said was that they look at the grades of the other subjects. They didn't specify if it was all subjects or what. Only when every single thing is the same, then it'll be by random.[/quote]Hi, according to the JAE book, the student with the better raw score has priority. Eg. two students appealing for last spot, assuming both got 5 nett, 7-2 is given more priority than 8-3 or 9-4.

I'm not in TJ, but this is what I heard from friends who are there. Good: Teachers are caring and offer a great deal of academic help. The environment is quite conducive and comfortable (I'm actually surprised at this haha because I went to the school before and it seemed like such a crammed place). TJ is strong in science.

Bad: Academic rigour and tests are harder than VJ. Ok I don't know why this is a point of comparison, but yes my friend said that. Econs and gp in TJ are quite bad. There's sec 1 now as well, so the school rules have changed slightly to become more strict.

Hi, can someone provide me with some advice?>< I got 9points raw and 5 points nett, I am undecided between tjc and njc:( I am not considering distance cus distance is not exactly a problem. I am interested to know more abt the culture and environment of each sch to make up my mind>< hmm I am currently more interested in tjc as I went to the openhouse and really liked the sch. I didn't go for the nj one so I'm not sure abt the culture and stuff:( I would really appreciate if someone can tell me more abt both schs! Thanks!!(:

Put njc as first choice (so you will get a higher chance at appealing), if you don't get into nj (cause the cut off is partial five), you will still get into tjc anyways.

Hello. I'm new and I need help here. For O levels i received a RAW of 9 and after bonus points, i got 7.


English - B3
CH - A1
E math - A1
A math - A1
Chem - A1
Phy - A2
Bio - A2
Chinese - B3

Personally i am very disappointed with my results, especially my english and biology because i was expecting an A1. Could u guys help me with my dilemma please?

I'm keen on going to Temasek Junior College as my house i very near (I stay near expo) but i'm one point off their cut off for science stream, and my appeal does not fulfill their criteria. I was thinking of appealing anyway though.

Also, i am quite keen on SJI's IB program but i do not know of their cut off score and its quite far.

My other choices are Mjc, Nanyang, St Andrews and Anderson. However, distance is a problem as my health condition is not very good.

Do advise!!! Thank you guys so much!!!!

u can always try SJI IB as your first choice if u r keen on the program, their cut off would probably be quite close to ACS(I) which is 5

I got a l1r5 or 7 raw and 3 nett

All subject A1 except for physics and hmt a2 and el b3
What are the chances of me getting into rj science stream?
Thanks in advance

It’s possible that SJI’s cut off will be lower than 5, because their intake is only 80, minus DSA, probably around 60, compared to ACSI’s ~200.

Low because of EL b3. RJ places alot of emphasis on their excellent GP track record. you have better chance with hc i think.

Oh sigh. If I put RJ as first and second choice VJ i will most probably get into VJ then? Or I may even get rejected by VJ too

Hi everyone I'm new here too

I just received my results yesterday, and am currently torn between VJC and NJC, science stream. My raw L1R5 is 6 and nett 4 as I don't take HMT. The travelling time for both is about 45 min. I quite like NJC from what I saw, the facilities are really nice over VJC's :). And I'm also worried that I might not make it to VJ cos the COP is 4 over NJ's 5. Also, if I'm not very outspoken will it be better for me to go NJ instead of VJ (which is full of outgoing people- sorry, I don't mean to generalise! It's just the overall vibe. )? Thanks in advice everyone!

Actually the people in NJ depends on who you mix with. After all, there are some super quiet ones who never say anything to others except to those in their clique. Then there are also those who are super hyper and crazy - those people are really outspoken and they can just socialise with everyone. Maybe, it is changing, I have no idea, but being in the IP requires the students to be more interactive and outspoken, because, these students with better academic achievements and sociable attitude tend to be given much more opportunities on the local as well and in the international field.

Did you go for NJ's open house?

any take on AJC vs. TJC for a west side resident with nett score 6??
