Would you mind checking your A level cert to confirm if this is correct? Some are saying it will be reflected in the A level cert and some are saying it won't. Thanks.

i hear the same too...as some are saying that it is reflected or others say that it isit...
Wonder is the results slip n the A level cert are the same ?
or could it becos ... whether it depends at the same sitting or not?

I think so. My PW is on a completely different cert, probably because I took it a year before my other A level papers.

The bottom line is, I don't think it matters either way. In job/internship/ scholarship applications, they often ask you to declare all grades starting from O level equivalents and upwards; you will probably have to put down your HCL grade. For those that asked for A levels only, I didn't put down my HCL grade (since it technically counts only as an O level subject), and I haven't been lynched for it yet (although my applications were mostly UK centric - perhaps Singapore firms will treat this differently).

Thank you.[/quote]If it is taken as a contrasting subject then it must be taken at H2 level. The lessons are usually conducted in the evenings.
