All About A Levels

[iwanttofly]

Hi guys, I just received my o level result and much to my disappointment,I didn’t scored what I expected myself to score .I got a C6 for my English,A2 for my Combined Humanities,E math,A math, Physics,Chemistry,Biology and Chinese Language(I have been feeling very emo for scoring 7 A2 for the past few days) and a B3 for my higher Chinese Language .I was actually feeling confident of scoring at least a B3 for my English,and A1 for the subjected that i scored A2…I got a nett 9.Now the problem is that I want to get into TJC which is very near my home and I might not get into it.So what are the chances I might get in through appeal since I scored so many A2(sighhh) .

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 which jc should i go to? Thanks for your time and understanding

1. Don't bother about reviewing. I've rarely (never) seen a result overturned. Still, your choice, if it makes you feel better.

2. Any JC is decent. With 17 points, your options are limited (probably 2, or max 3). Hence, which JC is a meaningless discussion. Just focus on getting into one that you have cleared the COP.

Unfortunately, it doesn't matter how many A2s you score. Your chance = 0.
MOE has made it clear that if you do not meet the COP of the JC, your appeal will not be accepted.

Very truthful views shared & i "liked"

From what I have seen so far, a lot of students didn’t do well in English. Those who consistently get good grades in school exams see a drop in their grade for O levels.


I wonder why.

In my opinion, I don’t think it’s safe to do this because NYJC is getting very popular n your DD COP is 1 point below NYJC COP.


I think AJC is just as good as NYJC.

For me, I rather put AJC as 1st choice as I will stand a better chance.

Hi all ,

My daughter's results are as follows:
My girl's O level results are as follows:

English: A1
Chinese: A1
Combined Humanities: A1
A Maths : A1
Further Maths : A1
Geography: A1
Chemistry: A2
Biology: A2
Higher Chinese: A2

L1R5 nett : 2

She is deciding between VJ and RI but is still unsure of which jc to go to.
She's considering taking the hybrid combination : geography, chemistry, econs and math.
Do both jcs offer 4H2 once she enters or is it only offered after J1?
Do you have any advice ?
All advice is greatly appreciated

Did you attend the OH yesterday? That will give you a better feel of both schools' environment and culture.

She stands a very good chance of getting into RI n yes both JCs offer 4H2. They will select their combi after they settle in.

Pardon my ignorance. Isn’t the JC/poly posting is similar to the Secondary 1 posting, ie. all students are ranked by their T-score and then the posting is by working on a student’s choices first then move on to the 2nd student etc etc.

[pirated]

sometime they missed a key / connecting word, and resulting in an out of point answer, and they thought they did well


it happens, unfortunately at the real, not prelim, papers
