Sorry, JJ1111, what is LA and 1H?

LA - Language Art

IH - Intergrated Humanities

Dd faced a similar issue during her Year 2 but in the end, she took triple Sc and Geo.
It is tough but guess she was given exposure to these subjects.

This year my girl is in JH2.


So now she is thinking of what subject combination to take next year.

1) Higher LA + double science
2) Higher IH + double science
3) Triple science.

What is the consideration to decide on their choice?

What is the advantages of taking Higher LA / Higher IH compared with triple science?

My girl has no strong subject, most of her subject is so so only. (B/C type of grade). She is slightly strong in her LA & GS (A/B type of grade) but not those top score student in her cohort. I suggest that she take triple science. She said she prefer to take Higher LA or Higher IH. :scared:

I think there is an assessment in order to qualify for the Higher subject.

Oh wow! Will be faced with this next year! Thank you for bringing it up.

Thanks.

Do you know what is the double science combination if they take Higher/advance subject?

My elder boy (JH3/4 in 2012/2013) took Advanced LA with Chemistry and Physics.

If I am not wrong, Chemistry is a compulsory subject. So students either take Physics and Chemistry or Biology and Chemistry or the 3 sciences.

Not sure whether those taking 3 sciences then were also taking Advanced subject.

My girl told me if take 3 sciences, cannot take Advance subject. If take Advance subject, can only take 2 sciences.

Hence, I am thinking whether is it a better choice to take 3 sciences compared to Advance LA / IH. :?

I am looking at the module information booklet for JH now. On page 2, the compulsory subjects are :
LA
MT
Pure Chemistry
MA
Geography
History
Governance and Society

The additional 2 subjects combination are:
Physics and Biology
Physics and Adv LA
Physics and Adv Humanities
Biology and Adv LA
Biology and Adv Humanities

I feel that interests in the subjects should take precedence.
