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]
Even if the inference is correct, surely 31+14 is 45 not 35.
Hope all the nitpicking and bashing will stop.
When top JCs admit mostly top students, it is natural they will produce top notch results. It would never be a fair comparison for all JCs. We should applaud all students with good results, whether they come from top JCs or not.[/quote
Hi hi I don't mean to join the discussion, just want to talk about the simple maths: 14% increase of 31 IS 35, not 45! (31x0.14)+31

Schootopia:
Isn't it that the awardee of the humanities program with scholarship can get the extra 2 points, which means total 6 points can be deducted?My tutee got into Raffles Humanities Programme with L1R5 of 6 with a scholarship awarded. He did triple science combination ar non-affiliated top school. No further discount on L1R5.
So the COP of 4 for Raffles was most likely not accurate ..
Earlier SMSs from mum is under \"results\" of https://home-tuition.sg Mum also sent copy of posting since this 7am+ (not published) ...
I am aware of other exceptions under DSA, some with L1R5 way off this guide...
..still, :congrats: to those who worked hard and got in to their choices. -
