thanks for the advice! how about econs? i heard many students are struggling

is it mostly essays or calculations?

Basically, student must be interested in market events you read in the newspapers and observe in real life transactions, and explain and analyse them eg. how entry of Uber may affect prices and profits in point-to-point transport industry; what is the impact of sustained low oil prices on different markets; how do airlines carry out price discrimination; evaluation of argument for minimum wages; understanding of why Sing dollar depreciated against US dollar, etc. If your girl likes to read and discuss this type of thing with you, or is interested to know about it, it is very positive for her to take econs!

i guess she's more interested in this compared to phy so theres sbq and how many essay do we need to write?

Based on my 2 dd experience in econs, I remember there are 2 papers: 1st one is two case studies, and 2nd one is three essays

Hi parents with JC kids,


On JC reporting day, do the kids need to bring extra monies to buy their uniforms etc? Or will they be given a grace period to settle such administrative matters?

Thanks in advance for sharing your experience.

I thought parents can come along on Reporting Day (just like S1 Posting)?

do you think is better to study H2 chemistry and H1 history or the other way round? thanks!

I remember my DD was asked to get her uniform only after the 3 or more days of orientation had ended and lessons were about to begin. Even after that, there were some still wearing their sec sch uniform while waiting for their appeal results to other JCs.

For RI, at least, the parents' briefing is not on reporting day. If I recall correctly (please check if anyone is planning to go!), it's on Sat.

I do not think it's the same as S1 reporting day as these pupils are old enough to handle all admin matters themselves. There will be many JC2 OG leaders to help guide them to settle in. Orientation program will commence on reporting day. Some JCs will release their pupils by noon while some may be as late as 5pm.

What are your daughter's strengths? Questions like that can't be usefully answered without knowing the student.
