My child is in Anderson JC science, life is much less hectic compared to secondary school days. No need to buy testbooks, the teacher will print notes for the student. He is able to come home for dinner every school days. Currently ,staying about 40 mins bus journey from AJC. Another plus point to consider is that Anderson JC is very near to Yio Chu Kang MRT.

Thanks Susan,

Can I know whether the teaches at Anderson JC are compassionate about teachings ?

I know some teachers in the top JC don't even bother to teach & cannot teach to even save their life !

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

as pointed out by someone in the other thread on your same question, the chances of grades being altered after review is almost 0. But no harm trying though just to satisfy your curiosity, who knows it;s actually an error ...

Would like to ask a silly question here and someone don't mind enlightening me--


Understand some JCs offer combi subjects with options ranging from 10 units to 12 units. 10 units is the minimum requirement comprises of 3H2 1H1 subjects ( other than project works, GP). My question is what is the purpose of going for 12 units if the students can do well and say can even score subjects with distinctions if they opted for 10 units option? Will the uni accept students with priority with those score 12 units during registration?

12 units help differentiate them from the crowd from scholarship perspective. There are many who can ace the 10 units with perfect scores

Zbear, wah 12 choices ...so many ...

I think the reason why 12 choices is becos JAE students can choose JCs, MI, Polys n ITE. But I find it so silly to give them so many to choose. 6 shld be more than enuf.

I think the reason for 12 choices is that there are so many JCs and polys, and so many similar courses in the polys. Students may want to put 3-4 JCs, MI, and more than 1 course from a few polys ... it all adds up!

So far, I have not heard of such negative comments about any of the teachers that my child had. When I asked some teachers if there are any other recommended text that my child should have, their reply is : they would provide them with sufficient notes. My child is not attending tuition, he is doing well in the exams, I am happy with the the teaching in school. I think AJC is a no- frills JC, very down to earth school.

Anyone has some comments between CJC and MJC?

CJC is separated from MJC by some Distance

CJC has affiliated students from the Catholic schools and one of those first generation JC

Not long ago some people insinuated that MJC has a \"target\" retention rate for JC1 students

The entry score for CJC is very different from MJC

Nobody insinuated that MJC has a target retention rate and it was already clarified in earlier posts.
NYJC principal Mr Kwek recently mentioned that they retain about 35 students. I believe there is no retention quota. Then he should have said that there is no figure available because it changes every year. But he mentioned 35. So 35 is the average number and we can use that as an estimate when we post in forum. Nobody is trying to badmouth the JC when she is just trying to share an information.

The insinuation and accusation was in another thread


I was the one who called the JC to verify. I remember the debate b
