I don't know also. However, it appears that results this year is similar in many aspects as last year.[/quote]well, we can never be sure...
do you know RV percentage rate for 3 or 4 H2 distinctions?Zhuge:
[quote=\"WeiHan\"]It seems that VJC can achieve a 50% rate of 3 or 4 H2 distinctions.
I'll like to encourage RV to progress towards this target in 2-3 years time. RV already has 43% in the first examination. It is not unthinkable to aim for this goal.
it is not available on the school website -
Many of my daughter's classmates in sec 4 are going to cambodia this week. Heard from her there is a camp on Wed 7 Feb to Fri 9 Feb in school for those staying behind. Does anybody know what are they doing in this camp ? :scratchhead:

- 44% of the cohort achieved at least 3 H2 Distinctions -
There are less with 7 or more 7 distinctions this year because this batch don’t do well in their CL1. The number of distinction for CL1 is below national average for this batch. This is like what I explained at DHS thread. But the percentage with 3 or more H2 distinctions is good. H2 subjects carry higher weightage in university entrance score calculation.

Therefore, it is important to do well in HCL.
It improves the statistics for 6-8 distinctions. -

Hi DaisyT,

Therefore, it is important to do well in HCL.

Most students take 4H2, GP, HCL and project Work. That makes it possible to get a maximum of 7 distinctions. In order to get 8 distinctions, the student will need to do another H1 or H3 subject (usually, it is a H3 subject because it helps in scholarship application while another H1 isn't that useful at all). To get 9 distinctions, the student will need either 2 H3 or (1H3 and another H1,usually a third language) and this requires approval from MOE (to do 9 distinctions).
From my explanation above, you can see clearly that HCL, PW and GP are important for the statistics for 6-8 distinctions. There is no problem convincing students that their H2 subjects are important because it is obvious to them. However, for HCL, many RV students believe that it is unimportant and merely getting a pass or D7 is good enough. Refer to the article which I provide the link.

This newspaper article dated 2011 January. It mentioned that the batch of sec4 which took their HCL in 2009 did badly. Number of distinctions was 4% below national average and the rate for C6 or better was 13% below national average.
You can easily calculate that this batch is the batch which just received their A level results on 2nd March 2012. My conclusion is that, if not for the disastrous HCL results which they took 2-3 years earlier, the percentage for 6 or above distinctions would have been much higher.
I understand that all subjects are important but it is obvious that RV students are good in their H2 subjects, PW and even GP but apparently quite a significant portion of RV students take HCL very lightly. It is high time to take it more seriously. -
