      I think it is together with A Level results. Early March.


      This is what my dd told me too.

      She will be taking her PW paper this year so her results will be out with next year's A level results.

              zeemimi, good idea. šŸ™‚ Anyway if he's taking Chinese at SL he won't need much tuition. Benefits are probably more if you pampered yourself. šŸ˜„

                  I would like to know if JCs have recommended textbooks for H2 Geog and H1 Maths? Any recommended reference books for GP and H2 Lit? Can you give me the details? Thanks!


                  Is it the practice of JC students to mostly rely on notes and practice questions from teachers (especially for Maths and Lit)? It seems rather shallow not to study from a textbook. I know teachers will not have the time to teach from a textbook, but are students required to read at least one in each subject?

                      I am just a bit concerned as I don't think studying from notes right from the beginning is the best way to learn. So far, she has been told to get a workbook for H1 Maths (but there's hardly any teaching material in there), and a textbook for Management. Still waiting to hear about Geog and Lit. She has to buy the Lit texts, of course.

                        What are the Lit texts used for H2 Lit in JCs? Do all JCs in Singapore do the same texts or do they have some degree of choice?
