RAFFLES Junior College was the top performing school in last year's 'A' level exams, with three of Singapore's brightest students coming from it.
RJC students Wang Yong Jin, Milashini Nambiar, and Soh Ming Quan took 13 Academic Units (AUs) of subjects and received perfect scores for all of them.
This is the heaviest workload that A-level students can take.
The 18-year-olds are from the first batch of students who received permission from the Ministry of Education to take 13 AUs worth of subjects. In general, 'A' level students take between 10 and 12 AUs of subjects.
Out of the 14,463 students who sat for the 'A' level exams in 2008, 12,688 or 87.7 per cent had at least three passes in Higher 2 subjects and a pass in General Paper of Knowledge and Inquiry. In 2007, 87.5 per cent of the cohort or 11,418 out of 13,053 students received the same results.
The results include the first cohort of candidates from Dunman High School and Millennia Institute taking the 2008 GCE 'A' Level exam under the revised curriculum.
