Hi everyone,

my daughter scored 8 raw 6 nett (2 bonus points from her CCA).

English A1
Chinese A1
Full Humanities (Literature) A1
Combined Humanities (History and SS) A1
E math A2
A math A2
Chemistry A2

Considering ACJC and VJC for their Humanities scholarship programme that my daughter is interested in…
Torn between both as I have heard that VJC’s school culture is good and students are polite, kind, hardworking…but distance-wise is not that near as ACJC. Direct bus to VJC… Heard that ACJC’s HP isn’t as good and they have a ‘party’ culture. But we stay relatively near ACJC…

Any advice is greatly appreciated…

will the COP for JCs this year be the same, increase or decrease as compared to last year ?


Thanks

Hi I got 8 points for my raw L1R5 and 4 points for my nett L1R5. Is it advisable to put HC as my first choice? Also, I am not sure whether to go to VJC or NJC. NJC is nearer in terms of distance but I’ve heard that VJC is better in terms of school culture and all. The travel time differs by about 15-30min for VJC so I don’t really mind. Please do advise. Thanks!

Good question. I hope it won't be as shocking as S1 Posting.

Welcome back. Is your child applying for JC this year?

Take a look at the 10 years history of COP http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=80694

Honestly, here are some consideration points, decision is still yours,


1. If the JC has 2 seats left, 1st student has the raw score that meets COP, 2nd student has raw minus 2 points or 1 point that meets the COP, 3rd student has raw minus 4 that meets COP, which 2 the school will take based purely on scores is a no brainer.

2. There are situation that happens last year where student’s L1R5 is single digit, choosing JC (meeting COP) as first few choices and follow by a choice Poly course. Parent was surprised, of course they appeal and go to JC finally.

3. Based on what happen in the recent PSLE to Sec1 incident where many appeal failed, do be careful of the choices you put on the paper or MOE website.

Before submitting this post, just want to say that I am not scaring anyone and I also declare that I have no children going to JC or Poly or ITE this year.

Hi there,

i just got my O Level results and i am hoping to pursue my next phase of education in a jc. My l1r4 is 11 and my l1r5 is 17. I got 4 A2s for science, a/e math and malay. And a b3 for english. However, the reason behind my l1r5 grade is due to my humanities, which i got a c6 for. This is highly shocking as i got an a2 for humans in prelims and i am not weak at the subject. Then again, i hope to get into a decent jc such as serangoon and i am going to appeal for a review of my humans papers. What is your advice on appealing on a review of a subject and what should i do? Thanks for your time and understanding
