You can find 2009 cohort's A level results here: http://www.ri.edu.sg/bookshelf/2010_Institution_Report_Section1_web.swf (Page 12)
Compare with 2010 cohort: http://www.ri.edu.sg/files/RI_2010_A-Level_Result_Release.pdf
9 distinctions: 2 students (2009), 3 students (2010) (almost the same...)
8 distinctions: 84 students (2009), 73 students (2010). In the 2010 slides, 8 distinctions and above are listed as 76, so we have to deduct the 3 students with 9 distinctions. Drop of 10 students from 2009.
7 distinctions: 217 students (2009), 169 students (2010). In the 2010 slides, 7 distinctions and above are listed as 245, so we have to deduct the 76 students with 8 and 9 distinctions. Drop of 48 students from 20009.
6 distinctions: 303 students (2009), 261 students (2010). Drop of 42 students.
Results are still good, but it has gone down from 2009... -
The 2010 scores doesn’t seem to be cumulative, like the 2009’s. The best way is to clarify with the ri communications dept, since the 2010 results are emailed to all the parents of ri pupils.

the results presented are accumulative, else the results will be REALLY impressive...
...because the total quota exceeds the total number of rafflesians for that batch.
Total cohort for 1 batch is about 1200 (to 1300)
Ex-Math teacher in RI -
My DS is now in Yr 1. He is just an av student, so I am quite concerned if he can get to study Pure Science when they stream classes in Yr 2.
Does anybody knows how many Science and Arts classes there are in Yr 3 in RI? -
There’s only Pure Science i think.
Your son can choose any subject to take, but common combinations are the 3 sciences + 1 humanities, or 2 sciences + 2 humanities. Taking 3 humanities subjects is not allowed.
Most students can choose up to 11 subjects (including third lang, mother tongue, english, etc). But students whose GPA is below 3.6 have more restrictions, if I’m not wrong they can only take up to 10, then those who are below 2.8 can only take up to 9 subjects. The norm is generally 10 subjects. [/quote] -

Thank you, that was really helpful. I can put my mind at ease. -
Students below GPA of 3.2 can take 8 subjects.
Students above GPA of 3.6 can take up to 10 subjects which the 10th subject is either 3rd land, CEP, AEP, MEP…
Norm is 9 Subjects. Also take note that RI is implementing a new system which will squeeze some Year 4 syllabus into Year 3 so that the Year 4 will have half of year for their enrichment or OIP.
Year 3 term 1 is a bit hectic especially for my boy who has National competition, Prefect duties and events, next week boarding, test and assignments… I am not sure if other Year 3 parents also shared the same experience.
