Olevel Result 2006
I was wondering why there was a recent focus in the papers regarding the need to not view ITEs and Polys as second rated education insitution. I was also wondering the lack of 11A1 scorers in this year's recently released Olevel result. Then everything ties together.
Because top schools holding the top 5~15% students of the cohort were no longer taking part in the Olevel examinations, this caused top score of this year's result to be 15% lousier than that of my year's. In other words, those who should be getting 6,7 and 8 pts this year did not taking part in Olevel, meaning that there are tonnes of 6,7 and 8 pts open for grabs. And who will get these points then? It is impossible that nobody get 6,7 or 8pts right? Obviously, those who should be scoring 9,10,11 and 12 pts by right are getting 6,7 or 8pts. Because of the absent of competition with top students in the cohort, weaker students have gotten better scores.
Because more people are getting better scores due to lack of competition, it is also likely that JC will adjust their entry requirements to become harsher. And when that happens, a large number of students will be crying in their sleep when they suddenly discover that the score they are getting, which would get them into schools like HCI during my year, could only get them into schools like AJC during their year. A large number of students will also be denied JC admission despite getting the traditional <20 points. As a result, the press has recently began encouraging and influencing people that polys are not second rated as compared to JC and students should also look into chosing polys as well. All these is done to cushion the effect of increased demand of jc and decreased demand for poly this year.
