Alright I'm going to do this, cos I'm quite miffed at hearing the comment/assumption/question that RJ has done very poorly compared to the nearest other competitor...
THAT IS TOTALLY NOT TRUE. Just because we chose to be low key in our announcement of results does not mean we fared poorly, and just cos some other college is louder in their pronouncement of their results does not mean that they did better, or much better for that matter. Another college may have done well, but we have also done well, very well indeed.
I also think that our own graduates who believed in that rumour(that we did poorly) or spread it around have too little faith in their learning, effort and ability. The misperception also doesn't do much for our reputation, and the confidence of the juniors.
Right, some numbers:
-------------RJC %A--------- Bkt Timah Competitor%A
GP-----------47------------------ 30 -----------so we beat them by 17%
Physics-------75----------------- 60----------- so we beat them by 15%
Chemistry--- 78.8---------- 78.5 Comparable.---- we beat by a little.
I don't have the numbers for other subjects, but I do know that they are all good (many subs at 80% As, quite a few at 100%), and either better or comparable to the nearest competitor. Overall, RJ did very well against any other college. Our only numbers that weren't too good were the PW (done in 2006 for this 2007 batch) as well as MT, which affects the number of "perfect scorers"
With a larger cohort for RJC, it means its harder for us to beat averages as well (cos you got more weaker candidates to deal with), and also more effort is required
Well, enuff said, stop propagating the rumour that RJ didn't do well.
