(b) What subject combination to choose in JC.
A former MOE school teacher, Mr Ilyasa has been coaching students in ‘A’ Level (H2/H1) Physics, (H2/H1) Mathematics and (H2/H1) Economics for more than 6 years, as well as ‘O’ Level Physics, Additional Math, Math and PSLE Math for more than 10 years. An alumnus of RI and RJC, Mr Ilyasa holds a Bachelor of Science degree with Merit from the National University of Singapore, a Postgraduate Diploma in Education with Credit from the National Institute of Education, Singapore, and a Master of Education (Curriculum & Teaching) degree also from the NIE, Singapore.
Some news about JC rankings, postings, cut-off points in 2013 and A-Level results of 2012
I did post the list of JC cut-off points in 2012. However, u’d find that for 2013, the cut-off points and thus rankings will be slightly different. The official list from the MOE will be out next year, but here I will list some of my recent discoveries based on feedback from past students who enter JC this year.
(1) It seems that NYJC has outranked AJC in terms of cut-off points for their Science courses, as I know of students who applied to NYJC science as first choice but got posted to AJC instead.
(2) PJC may have outranked JJC in the same manner above, but I think they are still one above the other in the rankings by cut-off points.
(3) I will post more if I hear more.
But how about the rankings of JCs based on results? Well, for 2012, I have a credible source informing me that RI produced about 600 students with 4 As in their H2 subjects, while the second most successful JC, VJC, produced about 300 and HCI produced about 200. There is a large gap between RI and HCI at the A-levels and I believe I know why. I also feel that AJC has become less popular nowadays and I believe I know why. I’m not surprised VJC continues to do well and I believe I know the reason as I have had tutees from there too. But some of these things I shouldn’t say publicly, so if you need more info, sms me at 97860411.
At the end of the day, pls don’t be silly; it doesn’t matter much which JC you go to. It’s about yourself, get it? An A-Level cert from Yishun JC with four As is at all times superior to an A-Level cert from RI with three As. Many times, it’s easier to be a big fish in a small pond than to be a small fish in a big pond. Take my case in point; I was the top student of my primary school, an average student in RI and the bottom 5 students in my RJC class! Why? In RJC, I was placed in the ASEAN Scholars’ class (although I was perfectly Singaporean and still is) and one of my Singaporean classmates also turned out to be a President’s cum SAF Scholar; I was no match for their determination and time management skills! Fortunately, I was not the type that would let pressure get to me.
But not all of you are like that. Some of you have been top students all the while and your first failure in a test will demoralise you and your second failure will devastate you. Every year I have some tutees who are like that and I have to coach them slowly until they regain their confidence in themselves. So whether or not being in a top JC is good for you partly depends on your personality and mental strength. : )

Ilyasa, M.Ed, PGDE, BSc, ex-sch teacher (h/p: 97860411)

My (our) students’ O-Level (2012) results released in 2013
Ok la, this year I shall break tradition by posting whichever results my last year’s students inform me of. One has just come in. I will update throughout the week as I get more results (sometimes students are just forgetful).
Physics: Luke, A2 (from b4 avg, failed in sec 3 (his mum just told me), St Pat’s sch, Farkhanda, B3 (from fail avg)
Chemistry (under Mr Anthony): Charmaine A2; Bandar A2; Luke, B3; Farkhanda, B4. (from fail avg)
Science: Ben, B3.
A. Math: Ameerul, C5 (from fail avg, Yuhua sec); Loges, B3 (from C5-C6 avg, ACS(I)); Ravin, B3 (from fail avg); Rahim, B3 (from C5-C6 avg); Jin Yong, A1 (from B4 avg); Farkhanda, B3 (from fail avg).
Math: Ali Zul, B3 (from C5-C6 avg); Colin, B3 (from C5)
This year, I shall also break tradition in another way, by posting a testimonial from a student, Ravin. Below is the exact words that he smsed to me at 10.06 am on 11 Jan 2013:
“My plan is to do engineering. More to aerospace or aeronautical. I will put my first few choices as that the rest I’m still thinking. Last choice will be MI. Yes Mr Ilyasa, a lot of improvement. I did not put in a lot of effort for A-math and my sci in secondary school. In fact I was failing but I’m happy to see that I got Bs and A for my math and sci but it’s really disappointing to see a 6 for EL. Thank you for your help Mr Ilyasa. You make lesson so fun and you taught me a lot. : ) “
Well, he taught me a lot too.
Waiting for more updates from more students …..

——————————————————————————————————–
The following system ranks primary schools according to the number of gifted classes available in a school from P4-P6, and how many awards they have obtained in 2011. The information has been taken and analysed from the MOE’s website.
For ease of reading, the numbers in the table under each column heading is the number of awards/classes there are, while the number in [ ] is the points that we assign to each award/class based on our judgement of the perceived relative importance of these programmes or awards. The Total is the number of points obtained by each school for the purpose of our ranking.
Gifted Education Programme (GEP)
As the presence of GEP classes in a primary school is an indication of the recognition and support that such schools have from the government, 3 points are awarded for each class present in the school from Primary 4-6.
School Distinction Award (SDA) & School Excellence Award (SEA)
As the SEA and SDA are very prestigious awards for a school, 2 points will be awarded for each of these awards obtained.
The following awards are assigned one point each for the purpose of computation of the ranking:
Development (DA) and Outstanding Development Award (ODA) (National Education)
Development (DA) and Outstanding Development Award (ODA)(Character Development)
Best Practice Award (BPA)
Special Award (SA)—Lee Kuan Yew National Education Award (LKY NE Award)
