Left one paper, huat ahh
Last paper so far is just median marks niahh@@

 

[Darkzi0n]

jus s/u loh. i guess most ppl will enter y1s2 with CAP> 4.5 lol.

 

[yihao93]

jus s/u loh. i guess most ppl will enter y1s2 with CAP> 4.5 lol.

I guess, but recently there's been a discussion on whether got weightage effect across sems @@

bend chiu from chat room

 

[swordsly]

bend chiu from chat room

i think he meant the xinjiaos that use sem1 s/u rah

 

[mgx-alander]

sux moi kkj u think every1 can get at least 1 A?

 

[Xapheron]

Maybe >4.5 is a bit of a stretch... but 4.5 >= isn't too much of a stretch, and I think it will be practically impossible to find someone with <4...

 

[iamverybuaysong]

This 1st year Su no use one lah

Means subsequent years more stress nia cause the cap still very volatile

Some more what's the big deal when everyone has the same high cap as you

 

[Smailbz]

jus s/u loh. i guess most ppl will enter y1s2 with CAP> 4.5 lol.

Eh ppl will do lyk dat arh. One C next sem hong gan leh.
I was thinking S/U only if it brings me a cap below 3.5. Nobody really teach me how to plan things out. I think I got a wrong idea of the system lehh liddat o.o

do u honestly think that way? why are u so insensitive

 

[Darkzi0n]

lol yea 4.5 is exaggerating, but on average the cohort will most likely have a much higher CAP (after all the s/u) compared to all the previous batch of year 1s.

 

[iamverybuaysong]

What u all doing in the hols ah

Cannot waste time liao

Please read the context miss. This is regarding the first years' 5 SU policy. As long as they have 1 B+ and above and if they SU all others below (which is likely given they can only use it then), they will get >=4.0. More than a third and almost half the cohort for each module gets B+ and above. Each student takes 5 modules. Simple statistics. Why you don't read?

 

[iamverybuaysong]

Jin fierce wor

Muahaha I got my sep offer liao, I thibk I shall go bah

 

[nomnomnom]

If my time had s/us, I would have probably entered the second sem with all S grades haha

Hahah. So the other half of the cohort are invisible and hence its impossible to find! *brilliant* why didn't I think about it earlier hahaha

if the new year 1s SU everything will tio warning a not?

actually is jus 3.125% of the cohort...

this is assuming a uniform distribution of grades which is a very unrealistic assumption... but then if u consider many other factors, like the better one will predominately occupy the A- to A+ range, leaving more room for the rest to atleast get 1 B+ and above out of the 5 modules they take... OR some students even tho they r weaker in general is likely to have atleast one module that they are good at... OR students are likely to take modules (GEK) that they are likely to score well... then maybe a low % estimate is not that unrealistic.

Hmmm darky. If these estimates are really true. I'm pretty disappointed with myself because there were semesters that I don't get a single Bplus. Maybe I'm really under 5% and the friends that I have with me are also equally poor academically.

Maybe that's what they mean by birds of the same feather flock together hur.

Then again I consistently got D in undergrad and postgrad in stats ~
