Sorry to ask a stupid question - I see that my dd is very stressed in JC.
I would like to know from those who have gone to the U recently, is U life less stressful n less hectic? -
zbear, is your dd in JC1 or JC2? How’s she stressed out?
-
In JC1. She said there are lots of homework, tests etc.
-
No choice I guess. The JCs only have 2 years to prepare them for A levels. Your dd’s in DHS? Their classes & tests are ahead of other JCs bec most of the others would just have completed orientation and only started serious lessons last week. No tests in sight yet.

I’ve seen a lot of students from many JC’s now. It’s a tough work load no matter where you are. If you take H1 in a subject the number of topics are less but the level of difficulty for each topic is about the same.
The best way to tackle a challenging workload is to do regular homework. Putting off studying a subject until the last minute can lead to disaster. Every week, the student needs to keep building up their understanding in a subject. The more times you review a topic, the more you will understand it. If you can make solid progress each week, 1 hour at a time, it can yield good results in the long run.
It is far better to keep up with a class, or even get ahead, rather than play catch-up.
Having taught University also, I can say that the JC programmes here are excellent preparation for University if you are going on in science or engineering particularly. For example the Physics that you do in JC will make the first year Uni course in Physics a lot easier. This is provided you can really learn the concepts and problem solving skills, rather than just cram for tests. So that’s where the good study habits come in. Develop them now in JC and they will serve you well through University also. -
I have worked in the University Admissions arena for many years and I am thinking of starting out on my own to become an Admissions Advisor. Not too sure if there is demand for such services. Can anyone advise?
