Just want to check any of the kids is taking HMT in SJI? By taking HMT the child is it have to take the O level paper at Sec 3? Once this is completed does it mean Year 5 do not have to take Chinese anymore as in the IB phase.


Lastly if the child could not perform to the performance requirement, any option to drop & taking back the normal MT?

I believe the IP child only take 1 MTL exam which is a common practice in most IP schools. They either do the Express O Level or the Higher Mother Tongue at the end of Sec 4.

If pass the Higher Mother Tongue at Sec 4, still need to choose a Group 2 Language subject to fulfill the IBDP requirements.

Basically can switch back from Higher Mother Tongue to Express.

How many triple Sci classes are there in Sec 3?


After obtaining IB, will there be any disadvantage for admission to Medicine field as compared to a student with A level?

About half of the current 2015 Sec 3 classes are triple science based on the timetable

There should not be any disadvantage for applicants to medicine using IB as compared to A Levels. Right now no one does triple science in A levels anymore.

To be granted interviews for Medicine, you will probably need close to perfect if not perfect scores for A levels (AAA/A for NUS) while this is not so for IB applicants (39/40 for Oxford/Cambridge).

Hi Shaber

Reality about sport CCA is that you must be extremely good at that sport you are interested in (e.g. represent school) otherwise chances of getting into it is very slim. Many who are average or perhaps slightly above average may not get into the sport CCA. You have to be very careful in allocating your CCA choices. Some UG are equally competitive and hence if placed too low in your options, may result in not getting into that UG. No offence to those who truly interested in UG but yes most will end up in UG.[/quote]

Are you saying that majority would end up in UG which is a CCA dumping ground? Getting into a Sports CCA is extremely of low chance?

May I know does SJI rank the students according of their T score to form the classes? Eg 270 & above (1 Class), 260 & above (1 Class),, 250 & above (1 Class), Below 250 etc


Lastly if to request to take HMT, the child would need to stay back in sch for how many times a week?
