Secondary School Chinese

[jtoh]

CuriousHippo:

My DS is taking Higher Chinese. Am I right that one has to sit for Normal Chinese \"0\" level too? Then after that sit for Higher Chinese \"O\" Level?

Is yours a mainstream school? If so, yes. CL 'O' levels at Sec 3 followed by HCL 'O' levels at Sec 4, provided minimum grade is met for CL.

Hi everyone


Just to check if it is necessary to have separate tuitions for Higher Chinese and Chinese in Secondary School. Do they have a lot of difference besides the standard being higher in Higher Chinese?

Really appreciate advices. Thank You!

Hello,

No, I do not think it is necessary, and I recommend going for the Higher Chinese one instead of the normal one. Other than standard wise, there is not that much of a difference, HCL students will also be sitting for the Normal Chinese paper in O levels.

The difference in standard between Normal Chinese and HCL is really big so if you go for Normal Chinese tuition instead of the HCL one, even though they are both Chinese, you may not learn things at the HCL level. However, if your foundation in Chinese is not that strong, it will be better to go for Normal Chinese tuition and slowly learn from there.

However, personally I do not think having tuition for Chinese is necessary unless you really really cannot understand and is really really struggling. Getting a low grade in Sec 1 for HCL is very normal, there was only 1 A2 and some B3 in my class, the rest are around B4 - C6, 2 or 3 people failed.

I got a C6 for HCL in CA1 but am improving slowly on my own without tuition. ^^

Dear Parents of IP Track Pupils, I’d like to find out whether there are any schools that allow their IP Students to take Normal Chinese in their course of study?


Thank you.
