The SMO 2009 preliminary results (no ranking for top placings) were out a few days ago. I think this year, NUS High did quite well overall. For Individual top 10 rankings, NUS High took 4 places in Junior, 3 places in Senior and 3 places in Open categories. NUS High also took top 3 places in all categories' team award.
My guess for top 3 in Team awards:
Junior: 1st - NUS High, 2nd - HCI, 3rd - RI
Senior: 1st - RI, 2nd - RGS, 3rd - NUS High & NYGH
Open: 1st RI & HCI, 3rd - NUS High
I massively failed Round 1 in Junior. It's worse than what I expected!
This year's cut-off for Junior Round 2 is 7 (ridiculously low, which means one will get a Silver with just 7 marks, last year's cut-off was 14), and cut-off for Gold award is 12 (even more ridiculously low, last year it was 23!).
update: someone commented in 'Comments' that the cut-off for Junior Round 2 is 9, and 7 will still get a Silver. But I have just checked, the cut-off should be 8 (100% sure). Sorry for the mistake above.
Nope.
ReplyDeleteCut-off for Junior Round 2 is 9.(Those who get in R2 sure get silver and above)
However, one also get a silver if they get 7 marks.
