Do update yourself.
Ha... Don't get so work up. Anyway, median score is not accurate. Which JC is good, people will know how to see for themselves. Don't have to actively promote NY JC. Ha!!! No offence hah...take it easy.Joashhyy\" post_id=\"2015248\" time=\"1613729390\" user_id=\"191467:
[quote=lovekids22 post_id=2015241 time=1613725244 user_id=101621]Ha...are you another one from NYJC promoting the school? No offence... I am trying to find out how NYJC perform, every year it is a mystery. Ha...
In this new norm, know the 3As
From sharing by J3 students in another forum ( Mean or Median)
RI mean 84.5
HCI mean 85
Ny Median 86
Vjc Median 85
Ejc Median 85
Dhs mean 80.4
Tjc mean 81.
Acjc mean 79.9
I stated what its known.
Median score not accurate, its used often to reflect standard other than Mean.
True, people can see which JCs are good.
Just that ksp parents cant really.
So learn the 3As in this new norm. -

Since it is difficult to get the \"Mean\" (Average) of Nanyang JC, as it is a mystery for NYJC to discloss their \"Mean\", let us standardize and compare the \"Median\" then.
Do update yourself.
In this new norm, know the 3As
From sharing by J3 students in another forum ( Mean or Medium)
RI mean 84.5
HCI mean 85
Ny Medium 86
Vjc Medium 85
Ejc Medium 85
Dhs mean 80.4
Tjc mean 81.
Acjc mean 79.9
From \"Median\", can also roughly gauge standard of the A-level results, from each JC.
Anyone know,
for Science stream (2020 A-level batch, born 2002),
what's the \"Median\" (not \" Medium\" ), for
- Dunman High ?
- Temasek JC ?
- National JC ?
- River Valley High ?
- Anglo-Chinese (ACJC) ?
- Anderson-Serangoon JC ?
- Tampines-Meridian JC ?
- Jurong-Pioneer JC ?
- Hwa Chong JC ?
- RI ? -
Using median might not be accurate, see the link attached.

Using median might not be accurate, see the link attached.
Above Link is theory only.
Still can compare different JCs using Medium score.
Unless compare JC A with Median score to JC B with Mean score, then not accurate.
More JCs have started using Median score based on A level performance since last year or longer.
Ny Median is 86, so cant use Median?
We must embrace the new norm of using Median score.

Guess different schools different standards of comparing

Let's examine the figures (above), in greater detail.
Do update yourself.
In this new norm, know the 3As
From sharing by J3 students in another forum ( Mean or Medium)
RI mean 84.5
HCI mean 85
Ny Medium 86
Vjc Medium 85
Ejc Medium 85
Dhs mean 80.4
Tjc mean 81.
Acjc mean 79.9
Since Nanyang Junior College can only supply their \"Median\" figure, but not their \"Mean\",
going by their \"Median\" (Not \"Medium\") statistics which Joashhyy had supplied above,
is it right or wrong (stating reasons) for one to conclude that,
for 2020 A-level batch (born 2002) :
1)
Nanyang JC
(Non-IP, entirely purely JAE students admitted ) cohort with her Median at 86
actually performed better
than these two IP-JCs cohort from (Eunoia and Victoria) JC, both with the same Median, 85 ?
2)
Eunoia JC is actually on par now, with Victoria JC, both with the same Median 85 ?
3) Temasek JC, with her mean 81,
- performed better than Dunman High, with mean 80.4, and
- TJC also performed better than ACJC, with mean 79.9 ?
(above questions are posed, based on the assumption that statistics above provided by Joashhyy, are Accurate) -
How about National JC?
The difference between 85 and 86 is not great, minimal almost. In fact, the difference could be down to decimals.
NY has done well to get such scores as her students will get into universities and likely courses of their choice. But I think if one were to compare NY to the top schools in terms of number of scholarship holders, this may show up as an area of relative weakness as most of NY students would’ve taken 3 H2 subjects and not 4 H2 with 1-2 H3 subjects. -
No offense but I wonder at the value of JC comparison. I have a child who went VJC and graduated with perfect As. Another child who just graduated from ASRJC and did 82.5.
I also had friends whose dc went to jurong pioneer and Yishun innova JC and did 88.75 so my conclusion is, it is about the Individual drive to do well. All JCs will enable our child to do well for A levels if they are driven. Just my personal opinion and hope it gives hope to others whose kids are not in “top tier” JC. It doesn’t matter… -
Back to JC schools discussion. I am not vested cos my dd is in hci. In relation to nyjc results, I am not surprised that the sch generally performed well. I did an informal poll amongst the young I know. Other than R/H, the second choice sch is nyjc. So those who couldn’t get into R/H are posted to nyjc and we are talking about 6-8 raw pointers here. Even O level students from SNGS or CHS i know prefers Nyjc than EJC. I don’t know why but nyjc has been very successful in attracting the young. It is no surprise other than the H/R schools, nyjc can produce stellar results.

For RI, HCI, what is the % of students doing 4H2? Is it like majority (80-90%) of the cohort?
I know there are internal requirement for year 4 results for students to be able to do 4H2 when the go RI or HCI. How about those who enter through JAE posting? What is the requirement to do 4 H2 when they enter RI or HCI?
