She is thinking of but don't know which subject.

She is so fickle - one minute she wants this, the next minute she changes her mind.

So I don't think I shld take her words seriously.

Your dd must be doing well to consider taking up H3.

I don't think so. She is just an average student. She likes to push herself to the limits n I think she is seow!!!!

Forgot to add - that is why I don't take her words seriously. So I asked for opinions here so that I can dissuade her from taking this suicidal step.

What about yours?

H3 is mainly for people who can handle the H2s and H1s very comfortably and want to stretch themselves more. Hence they take on H3 subjects which may be beneficial to them (scholarships, exemption from a module in uni, etc).


Having taught H3 Math myself, getting a high A does not mean he or she is suitable for H3, as it requires a different set of thinking skills. For H2 Math one can get A by drilling but for H3 the questions are generally more unpredictable and non - conventional.

So one must ensure that the H2s and H1s are 100% sure A before considering H3.
