Normally by history, the cut off for HCI or RI is 2 points.

What is the entry point this year for HCI n RI? I thot its still 3 for Science n 4 for Arts?

I remembered Jon posting the list of entry points for JC but cant remembered where is the posting now

I would put HCI as a first choice followed by NJC. Honestly, 7-4 is pretty unlikely to get in. From the MOE website: \"If there is still a tie, say between two Singapore Citizens, the one with the better gross aggregate score will be posted into the course first.\" That means people who got 6-3 will be getting the places before your brother.

What is considered a good gross score at the O lvls?

The best gross score for L1R5 is 6. But it won't get you anywhere if everyone is aiming for the few well known independent schools. You need to have another 4 points discount to be absolutely sure of where you want to go.

I don't remember it being 2 for years. The best was 3, meaning partial 3. Ri arts used to be 3 but was 4 last year.

It is hard to say cos the first batch of ip students from cedar and vs will be going to vjc this year. Means there are less vacancies at vjc than previous years. No harm trying. The cut off shouldn't differ very much from previous years.

They may increase the intake to ensure O level people are not squeezed out by IP, just like the other two mountains - where they increase the intake in addition to those from within

Hi all, I just got back my results, my o lvls net L1R5 is 7, im considering going to either anderson jc or anglo-chinese jc. Im more of an arts student, although I hope to be able to get a hybrid course. Any advice on whether or not anderson is better or anglo-chinese is better or maybe a third choice?

I can’t believe it! My son has 6A1s and nett score of 2, and he’s thinking of going to Nanyang JC! With encouragement from my husband.


What are they thinking? People are clamouring for RJC or HC and here they are, passing up this chance!!!

Sorry, just ranting. Good results also no use.
