Below is the latest ranking of JCs that I have compiled based on their 2013 cut-off points. As expected, RI and HCI have remained at the top. Compared to 2012, NJC has outranked VJC, ACJC has outranked TJC, and NYJC has outranked AJC (remember I suspected this last year as I had one student who couldn’t get into NYJC science but could get into AJC science). But AJC now has a new principal (whom my ex-students say is good), so AJC’s fortunes may be reversed in the next few years. Lastly, Yishun JC has outranked Innova JC. Please note that this list is based on cut-off points, not A-Level results. Personally, I feel DHS and RVHS should allow O-Level leavers to apply to their schools to enrich their school environment.

If you are already in these schools, don’t be arrogant, don’t be complacent; you still need to study hard and intelligently. Good luck. : )
