In my time no such benchmarks. If you're on track for FCH you'll know it. If you don't, then you're probably not it |
The previous system used to be the top 5% of the cohort.
The current system is top 10% of the cohort OR 4.5 GPA will secure you first-class. But because the bell curve is so tough in law school, the 90th percentile of the cohort always has a GPA lower than 4.5. Hence what I said about 4.35 being a good gauge, as from my experience most of my friends around that get FCH.
So to summarize (because you clearly don't think before posting, or maybe you're simply incapable of doing so), the way FCH is computed in
NUS is functionally EXACTLY the same as it always was because the 4.5 cut-off is always irrelevant because of the strict bell curve. The only difference now is that it's the top 10% instead of 5.
I'm usually more polite, but I really hate when someone posts something stupid and still has the gall to insult the current graduates by saying their faculty is "so slack". So, cheers.
