* Temasek JC (TJC)

[knowledge321]

My daughter and I were impressed with the temasek jc open house on 9 jan 2010. The teachers and students were extremely helpful and provided

lots of information on their 4 year IP Programme. My dd has decided to go for it and hopefully she will be admitted to this program.

Great to know! Go for it and all the best!

Think it shouldn't be too difficult to get into TJC's IP. Some of my friends actually went to join TJC after Sec2 and even though I don't have statistics at hand, judging from the people who actually went to TJC, TJC's admissions standards don't seem to be very high. I'm saying this because the students who made it to TJC were rather \"average\". School facilities at TJC don't seem very new either, though there are actually some newer classrooms.


I guess prospective students should go down to the school to take a look at the environment to see if they like it before applying. VJC is also a good IP school so it's worth considering. In fact, for O level entrants to the schools, VJC actually has tougher admission standards.

Do correct me if I'm wrong

my dd is applying both TJC IP and VJC IP.

Hi

My son obtained raw score of 10 and net score of 6 for ‘o’ levels. With this score, do you think he will be able to get into TJC science stream?

The booklet listed TJC cutoff as 6 points. So, will everyone who applies with this point get in?

Is anyone familiar with TJC to comment about its culture, teaching standard, emphasis on independant learning or not, chances of doing well in A levels?

How does it compare with other JCs in the east?

Thanks.

Your child’s may or may not get in since his score is very marginal. Because the current cut-off point is based on 2011’s JAE. It depends on whether TJC has been improving in the past year. If yes, the COP may go further down to 5 and he can’t enter. If it remains at 6, your child has a high chance of entering, though there’s a chance too that he’ll be disappointed - if it happens most who applied for the school this year got below 6 then they’ll get priority.
