If you can't cope with 4H2s the school will ask you to drop to 3H2s. For those with the intention of dropping to 3H2s it may be better to start off with 3H2s because the focus on the syllabus is different. -
U.K. uni look at 3 H2 only
Oz uni is on point system. 3 good H2 will be sufficient -

I would think its better to take 4H2 in JC1 n then drop the weakest subject in JC2.
If you take 3H2/1H1 from the start n you later found out that yr weakest subject is a H2 subject, how to drop it?
I think the syllabus change is not so much n it's manageable. -

There's a syllabus change wef 2016 which means that H1 and H2 syllabus for some subjects will be quite different. So dropping it in J2 will be disadvantageous.jtoh:

I don't think there are many. DD's class is quite a diverse mix. From GEP, Olympians, 2 pointers to DSA & repeat students. Many playful ones. Last minute muggers. Seems like lastest prelims prove that most of them are a bright lot if they study more and play less. :evil:My understanding is that 3H2s is the norm in many JCs, and that you have to have good O level results to apply to take 4H2s. My friend who had a daughter in a top JC was surprised to find this out when her second daughter went to a JC different from her elder daughter.
As zeemimi mentioned, 4H2s is a norm in the top JCs. But there are some students taking 3H2s in these JCs, mostly because they didn't meet the criteria to take 4H2s. I assume there are students who will drop to 3H2s in Year 6 because it makes better sense for them to focus on 3 rather than 4 H2s, especially as UAS considers only 3 H2s and 3H1s for calculation. All the students in my dd's class are sticking to 4H2s. Did many drop to 3H2s in your daughter's class, zeemimi? -
They play hard and work hard actually
