Augmum:
when i said \"newsapaper\" it refers to other mainstream media as well.....TV, online news,
These days the newspapers don't write about top scorers with 9 distinctions. They talk about students who've overcome adversity and done well.jtoh:
[quote=\"Augmum\"]Wow.....
it's good to aim high.....but have to be realistic lah....
how many names can appear on newspaper ?? .....
they def covered the top scorers, No ??
Anyway, news of A level results coverage is not of much interest to the public as compared to PSLE results. [/quote]Oh you meant media in general, not just newspapers even though you wrote newspapers. But you'll notice that all media are trying to move away from focusing on the top scorers. Of course they'll mention them, but the focus is on others who've done well. Like students who were ill and still did well, or students who come from broken families, or twins, or sportspersons. Not like before where they'll have a story dedicated to the top scorers. They've been doing this for several years now. I believe it's a directive from above.

Dear Dunmanian Parents,
Any one has good recommendation for IP Maths tuition in the Eastern area especially Tampines.
Thanx -
Augmum:
Oh, no, I'm not lamenting that Dunman cannot be as good as RI and HCI.. I just didn't want to claim Dunman's result to be comparable to RI and HCI--when I remarked that the results were \"comparable to top JCs\"
haha, it would never be as good as RI and HCImum_sugoku:
Glad to learn that Dunman's A level result is comparable to the top JCs' (though not as good as RI and HCI's).
Jia you! Keep it up!
as these 2 schools already attract and chope
the top coat of the cream of the crop from both PSLE and O lvl pupils. :evil:
In addition, some of the high achievers, decide to leave for other JCs at the end of yr 4. .
In fact to me, whether the result can be as good as the other 2 \"I\"s results is not important. What's more important is that the school is able to consistently maintain the good performance (and Dunman has certainly accomplished it!) :rahrah: . -
Zhuge:
also, in the last few years calls of looking less at academic results, other aspects are impt too...there is too much emphasis on academic results
Fully agree with you on this .

Hopefully the tuition centre was not trying to imply that credit should go to the centre--instead of her school--for her achievement :evil:, haha.

A comparison of A Level results: RI,HCI,VJC,NJC,TJC,DHS,RVHS
Following information obtained from above schools’ websites.
The percentage scoring at least 3 distinctions in H2 subjects.
Please correct if there are mistakes.
1. RI - 68%
Half of the cohort scored a distinction in all 4 H2 subjects, the highest since the first cohort who offered the revised A-Level curriculum in 2007. 622 students (50%) scored 4 distinctions in the content-based subjects, and 853 students (68%) scored 3 distinctions in the content-based subjects.
2. HCI - more than 50%
Over half the cohort of 1200 has scored at least 3 H2 Distinctions
3. VJC - 50%
1 in 2 Victorians scored at least 3 distinctions in H2 content-based subjects and record-breaking 28% Victorians scored 4 distinctions in H2 content-based subjects.
4. NJC - 44%
Overall, 44% of students scored 3 or 4 H2 Distinctions
5. TJC - not available
6. DHS - 40%
40% of the cohort achieved at least 3 H2 Distinctions.
7. RVHS - not available -
What i find most impressive for DHS is a whopping of 93 %
achieve a distinction in PW versus national average of 56 %...... -

Yes, am glad the % of each catergory is improving yr after yr,In fact to me, whether the result can be as good as the other 2 \"I\"s results is not important.
What's more important is that the school is able to consistently maintain the good performance (and Dunman has certainly accomplished it!) :rahrah: .
Still have few more yrs to go before my gal reaches A level.......

mum_sugoku:
i heard that some of those reputable tuition centres do have agreement beforehand with the pupils
BTW I was pretty amused that not long after media throwing so much limelight on this year's PSLE top scorer, the tuition centre which she attended used her as their poster girl in their (half-page) advertisement in the Straits Time! Hopefully the tuition centre was not trying to imply that credit should go to the centre--instead of her school--for her achievement :evil:, haha.
when they registered with the centres, that the centres are allowed to publish and use the pupils' names
shd they achieve excellent results.
How true isit ?? Any1 ?
