    • RE: * Nanyang JC (NYJC)

      I had to show NYJC result as anti NYJC had always commented that NYJC COP drops due to non academic factors ( yes can be true ). But NYJC academic results is also a factor- its 2015 GCE A level has shown. Now, its 2016 GCE A level results has proven.

      They can choose what they want to belief, is alright.
      The info below is meant to share with parents and students who are Keen in NYJC.

      Brief update on NYJC 2016 ‘A’ Level results.
      Extract from its Term 2 Newsletter:
      "We are extremely proud of our Class of 2015/16
      who have done very well in the 2016 ‘A’ level ex- amination. Close to 40% of the cohort achieved
      3H2 distinction with at a pass in GP and in terms
      of value addedness, our college is one of the high- est among the JCs/Centralised Institute. Thank you
      and all the best Class of 2015/16! "

    • RE: * Nanyang JC (NYJC)

      Quoted by candyfan:

      Ex-P Mr Kwek said there are around 710 students for 2016 and also for each of the past 3 years.

      If 2015 intake was 710 and approx 30 were retained in 2014, it would have a total of 740 students in 2015.
      If 30 students were retained by end 2015, it would have 710 JC2 students in 2016. Therefore the total number of students in each JC2 cohort will still be 710 yearly as we need to add the retainees from the previous cohort. And we have not added some who may return to NYJC to repeat JC2 after obtaining their A level results.

      Thus 250+/710+ = approx 35% is correct.[/quote]

      If your figures are close to the accurate numbers regard the cohort size of class 2015 and 3H2 Distinctions %, I would think it's fine BUT your given figures and % are wrong and far from it.
      Here, I have to disappoint you that your prediction about Nyjc class of 2015 to be 710 ( cohort which took 2016 A Level exam) is Wrong.
      And your approx 35% is definitely Wrong again.

      I had said in March this year, Nyjc 2016 A level results for minimum 3H2 Distinctions with pass in GP is definitely higher than 35% this year.
      I promised I'm not lying. Don't belief me, then don't.

      Why I'm so sure?
      Well I have this year NYJC Annual Book. It featured class photos of all 2015 J2 students.
      The total cohort is not 710 students But 671 ( Mindays already showed us in the Nyjc FB the many papers good luck stars made for J2 last year ).
      Why still want to stir inaccurate facts.
      And how you know approx 30 retained in 2014?

      The Nyjc Annual Book also listed the Names of Each TOP Honour students of class 2014 ( took A Level in 2015, with minimum 3H2 Distinctions & pass in GP ) which I had said in my last year post that NYJC had about 31% with 3 Distinctions n pass in GP.

      I know it will be good if Nyjc post its results, then all speculation will end. As MOE is emphasizing the holistic development of students and no longer focusing on grades, Nyjc does not show such results officially. But that doesn't warrant Nyjc to be subjected to inaccurate remarks.
      Other JCs may show results ( not all JCs ) so be it.

      There are stirrers who post unfavourable and unfair comments about Nyjc results based on inaccurate facts, that's why I have to keep emphasizing it's results.

      So try harder, stirrers.

      See Annual Book cover as proof.

      FYI, Xinmin Sec School posted news of its graduands from NYJC who achieved 3-7 Distinctions at 2016 'A' level exam.
      Total 24 students.[/quote]

      Sure, Crester, I 'belief' what you said is true regarding the fact that was highlighted in bold red.
      From the video you shared earlier, NYJC principal said that there was a 14% improvement on the number of 3H2 distinctions with GP pass. Since you confirmed that the previous percentage was 31%, therefore the current % is (31% x 1.14) = 35%.

      Why do you still want to contradict yourself and deceive us that the % is definitely higher than 35%?? Try harder! 😉[/quote]

      To candyfan,
      You said I had deceived you all about Nyjc results. I shall come to that in a while.

      A) First, You had tried to deceive us:
      - saying Nyjc class of 2016 was 710 based on your own prediction, all through your own guesses

      - saying Nyjc had approx 30 retained in 2014. I had asked you to explain in my earlier post regard to this but you never explained. Never mind, again your own guesses.
      How creditable are your posting about Nyjc then.
      Nobody here questioned you about the above 2 claim you had made but I have to- To be fair to Nyjc.

      B) Regard the % with 3H2 Distinctions and pass in GP.
      The 14% increased is an improvement OF the number of students who gotten 3H2 Distinctions in 2015.
      I know the exact number of Nyjc students who gotten 3H2 Distinctions (I was present that day and also confirmed the number from that Annual Book).
      So 14% OF the exact students gotten 3H2 Distinctions in 2015 = xx students.
      Add this xx students to the exact number of students gotten 3H2 Distinctions in 2015= xxx
      Using xxx / 671 OF 100= more than 35%.

      Don't just comment on the college without valid grounds.
      it just shows so much about yourself.

      [quote=\"mellory\"]260/750 is around 35%!

      Solve the percentage question!!!
      Thank you for the info!!!!

      :congrats:

      I doubt the cohort size is 750. Every intake is approximate at 700 students. After subtracting the retainees, my final estimate will probably be 670 students or so. To be prudent, a cohort size of 700 students can be used in calculation.

      http://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/education/nanyang-junior-college-where-one-size-doesnt-fit-all

      Ex-P Mr Kwek said there are around 710 students for 2016 and also for each of the past 3 years.

      If 2015 intake was 710 and approx 30 were retained in 2014, it would have a total of 740 students in 2015.

      [quote=\"UBKmom\"]

      I am quite puzzle...NYJC is one of the top JC and they already said they have performed well...why their reluctance to release even one bit of info...


      I didn't know NYJC is one of the top JCs. I only know NYJC is a popular JC based on O level COP.

      Agree with zbear.

      Someone claimed NYJC improved by 14% this year. It's vague so I shall infer it to be the % of pupils who scored at least 3 H2 distinctions has improved by 14%.
      Based on NYJC parent info, it was 31% in 2015. Hence 2016 batch should have 35% of pupils with at least 3 H2 distinctions.
      VJC achieved 53% for 2016 batch.

      In terms of COP:
      VJC - 5(sci) / 7(arts)
      NYJC - 6(sci) / 7(arts) - very close COP

      In terms of % of pupils with at least 3 H2 distinctions:
      VJC - 53%
      NYJC - 35% - very different results
      Hence it's not a top JC but simply a popular one.[/quote]Quote:\"Someone claimed NYJC improved by 14% this year.\"
      - not claimed but told by college management, Principal.
      - don't understand why VJC is being used to compare with NYJC result.
      VJC COP was 5/6, NYJC COP was 7/7 for class 2016.
      Unfair comparison. VJC ( I admit ) result will be better and being a partial IP JC.

      Quote: 'In terms of % of pupils with at least 3 H2 distinctions:
      VJC - 53%
      NYJC - 35% - very different results
      Hence it's not a top JC but simply a popular one.'
      - sorry to correct you, NYJC achieved more than 35% in terms of at least 3H2 Distinctions with pass in GP.
      - nobody says NYJC is a Top JC right but it achieved a big improvement in 3 H2 Distinctions %.
      That's an achievement.

      The class of 2016 gave a fantastic performance in the A Level exam.
      An overall improvement of 14% as compared to last year results.
      :congrats:

      Parents who are keen to know in details can make appointment with the Principa/VP to meet up.

      After much discussions here, genuine intetested people can decide for themselves what to believe n not believe in. So no disastrous as nobody forces one to opt Nyjc. There are other resources people can depend on to decide a JC other than reading in this Forum which has become questionable.
      Its last year brief 2015 A level results being told here is true as I was in college on that day. The rest of the issues i dont know.

      At first, I was impressed with this picture posted above. I thought it was the number of pupils who scored at least 3H2 distinctions for class of 2016 during the recent A level results release.

      But when I visited the nyjc official website, the photo only comes with a congratulatory note to class of 2015/16. I roughly counted and estimated that there were more than 500 pupils or perhaps 700 of them when I enlarged the photo using my hp.

      The scene was repeated in the video you shared. I believe it's the entire cohort of about 700 graduands as some boys were seen carrying their haversacks or slingbag with them. You may estimate the number using the 'row by column' method. 😉

      Crester, please comment if this is a group photo of the entire 2015/16 cohort or is this the photo of pupils who have outstanding results and were invited to the stage?

      Note: Not that I want to 'stir trouble' or doubt nyjc's results as the intake is of good COP but the information posted here is sometimes misleading unless one scrutinizes....

      Seem like the usual same old group of people ( be it parents/ students ) have reappeared after what I have posted about Nyjc result.
      Nyjc issue has suppressed down these few wks.
      But I need to say that you- MyMelelborne has made disrepute remarks on Nyjc, that is the college staff and graduated class of 2016. Nobody has commented on yr post above but I have to.
      Call it justice to NYJC!
      Yr posts:
      A) 'roughly counted and estimated that there were more than 500 pupils or perhaps 700 of them when I enlarged the photo using my hp.'
      - If you Estimate next time, then don't post here. Be sure. One moment counted 500 then number became 700. Please don't exaggerate and MISLEAD ( you like to use this word )others.

      B) 'believe it's the entire cohort of about 700 graduands as some boys were seen carrying their haversacks or slingbag with them. You may estimate the number using the 'row by column' method.'
      - what's wrong with Top students carrying bags and have photos taken?

      - yr estimation of the number is obviously way out as how can the students appeared in photos be 500. Any sensible people know it's lesser than 500.
      - how can the whole cohort of class 2016 fit into the picture.
      FYI, these abt 260+ students were not all standing on stage. They were in front of the stage.

      - go and check out a few other Top JCS web site which featured their Top students. They also used the words 'Class Of 2016' similar to Nyjc. So what's wrong with Nyjc featuring their Top Honour students and using 'Class Of 2016' that will make you and your clique suspect Nyjc has misled others.
      You mean you didnt go into these JCs web site to find out their results.

      You can say you were just enquiring, that's fine if you sounded genuine. BUT when your cliques replied in subsequent posts to what you have enquired, your choice of words were definitely mocking Nyjc class of 2016 and sounded very sure that photo is the whole cohort of class 2016.

      Your such posting with no valid ground, you just expose your character.
      How not to make people feel you are stirring trouble. You don't waste your time to scrutinise Nyjc photo, you can choose not to believe better.

      Nyjc Class of 2016 and Nyjc Teachers have put in effort to produce a strong performance in A level results, so give the due respect to them.
      Nyjc chooses not to publish any results, so respect its decision. Nobody forces you to belief or don't worry others will be mislead as I always say- people have eyes to see and decide themselves.

      I know I should not escalate this issue but all you anti people have been unfair to comment on NYJC just because it doesn't reveal its results. Please go to your Liked JC.

      In conclusion, I shall share a bit of NYJC strong performance A Level results ( being a Non IPJC ), which is Comparable to a JC in Bukit Timah, in my next posting soon.
      Thanks.

      Yes NYJC doesn't divulge its results but it has uploaded the above U Tube vid about its Fanastic A Level results briefly.

      Last year Nyjc had 31% with minimum 3 H2 Distinctions with pass in GP.
      This year, Nyjc achieved a bigger improvement in this %.
      But I wont post the % figure here as there will be people who will come here to stirr troubles after reading.
      If you dont belief Nyjc has produced fanastic results then dont.
      Please go to your liked JC Forum.
      I have no time to start any discussion/debate.

      mjl:
      I do not have any kid with NYJC, but I think we should really respect the NYJC school management for their decision to release or not to release their A level results, or how much to release.


      You know, a certain JC gives description like \"close to 8 out of 10\" score distinctions for some H2 subjects, clearly to their advantage. How do you know, the \"close to 8\" may be 7.5? And these top JCs tend to publish only subjects/statistics which they did well, not those they fared not so well. For fair comparison, every JC should follow a standard template. Else, you really should just take these with a pinch of salt.

      Do respect any JC's choice whether to publish any results, or how much to publish. And don't compare them.

      Anyone know the A level results for NYJC? I only see from their website saying that their have a happy problem of not having a stage large enough to contain all their Honour Roll awardees but no detail of their result......after so much discussions taken place here, I guess alot of people is interested to know the facts.


      Yes. don't know why they are so secretive in publishing their result, especially when they claimed its good. Somebody posted here that you need to schedule a meeting with the principal to know the detailed performance of the school :shock:

      I was referring to detailed performance like subjects grades. Not all jcs here post their individual subjects grades performance.
      Its just my suggestion if you really have an interest in Nyjc.
      The college has the right not to divulge its results.
      Nyjc has posted photos of their Top Honours students is 1 way of its fantastic A Level performance.
