          Any advantage in taking HMT for O level?


          How are the points calculated for A level to qualify for local Uni?

          If you pass HMT at 'O' Level, there is no need to take MT when in junior college. The time saved can be used to do other things or dating (!!)

          Even if you got A1 at CL2 at 'O' Level, u still need to do CL2 in junior college

          :!: :!: Ermmmm, is that sound advice :?

            Just to elaborate further on the info provided by verykiasu2010.


            The R5 \"Relevant 5 subjects\" must include:

            one science/maths subject
            one humanities subject
            one science/maths or humanities subject
            any other two subjects

            So one can score very well in all his maths and science subjects but if he gets a bad grade in his humanities subject, he must still include it in the L1R5 computation (that's what happened to me many yrs back 😢 )

              KSP, taking HMT at O level and getting a pass in it will grant the student 2 bonus points. That's valuable!

                thanks for the elaboration. that is why the need for a \"contrasting\" subject, and in schools like SCGS, Lit is compulsory !

                  however some parents prefer to short cut it by dropping HMT at P5 !

                  MOE's proposal to reduce weightage for MT at PSLE is hotly debated on another thread now

                      what about CLEP ? It is at JC level and is only offered at a few JCs : TJC, NYJC, HCI, JJC & DHS, pertaining to Chinese Language

                      this is not to be confused with the new Bicultural program starting at secondary level offered by only HCI, DHS & NYGH with leadership component

                      (this is my understanding, I may be wrong, info may be incomplete)

                        CLEP provides you with 2 extra bonus score, which can add up to 6 when applying for Junior colleges.

                        http://www.moe.gov.sg/education/programmes/elective-programmes/files/chinese-language-elective-programme.pdf

                        Look under \"bonus points section\"
