RE is a useful skill set applicable in uni
PW is just opportunity to get to know who are slackers in the team and share the grades and you found who you don't like. And is a marker for end of JC 1. -

[quote=\"ngl2010\"]Is it correct that distinction in O Level HCL can replace H1 GP or H1 PW result?
Incorrect. -

I found MOE FAQs on A Level from this link
http://www.moe.gov.sg/cpdd/alevel2006/faqs.htm#Q34
Please see the words highlighted in blue. Anybody knows what it means? Does it mean if got distinction in O Level HCL it can be included in the calculation of UAS?MOE FAQs on A Level:
37. What are the subjects that count towards the University Admission Score? How is the computation of scores done?
Subjects that count towards the University Admission Score are General Paper (GP) and Project Work (PW), as well as three H2 and one H1 content-based subjects, of which one must be a contrasting subject.
An H1 subject will be counted as half of an H2 in terms of points computation. GP and PW will be calculated as H1 subjects.
MTL will be treated as in the previous framework, i.e. require a sub-pass for admission but omitted from the calculation of the University Admission Score, but students who score well may submit their MTL grades (as an H1) on top of other subjects required towards their University Admission Score, which will be re-based.
For examples of computations for subject combinations beyond the norm, please refer to http://www.moe.gov.sg/cpdd/alevel2006/u ... beyond.htm -
Usually students take GP,PW,3H2+1H1 or GP,PW,4H2.
For the latter, the worst H2 grade will be counted as a H1.
HCL grade can be used in place of the H1 grade, taking the better of the 2. -

Thank you, Zeemimi!Usually students take GP,PW,3H2+1H1 or GP,PW,4H2.
For the latter, the worst H2 grade will be counted as a H1.
HCL grade can be used in place of the H1 grade, taking the better of the 2.

I think the highlighted portion is incorrect. This is taken from NUS Office of Admission :Usually students take GP,PW,3H2+1H1 or GP,PW,4H2.
For the latter, the worst H2 grade will be counted as a H1.
HCL grade can be used in place of the H1 grade, taking the better of the 2.
Admission requirements for H1/H2 'A' Level curriculum »
Academic Considerations for University Admissions »
Applicants will be considered for admission based on the strength of their academic achievements and additional interviews/tests if required. Applicants would need to obtain good passes in the following subjects:
Best four content subjects (i.e. 3 H2 and 1 H1 content-based * subjects, with at least 1 content subject to be from a contrasting discipline), and
either General Paper (GP) or Knowledge Inquiry (KI) subject taken in the same sitting with the H2 content-based subjects, and
H1 Project Work
* Please note that H1 Mother-Tongue Language subject (MTL) cannot be considered in-lieu of a H1 content-based subject.
HCL is equivalent to H1 MTL therefore it cannot replace a H1 subject.
Computation of UAS example : Total 3 H2 + H1 + GP + PW = 70 pts
With HCL Distinction (10 pts) computation : 70 pts x 0.9 = 63 pts then add HCL 10pts = 73 pts.
So HCL helps student to increase 3pts.
This is what I understand from school talk regarding UAS computation.
