What is L1R5?

[verykiasu2010]

dimsum:

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 )

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

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

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

How about CLEP?

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.

Look under \"bonus points section\"

ok. got it. based on O level result, to do CLEP at JC, not for sec 1

however, those who are under the bicultural program at sec 1/sec 3 will not need that extra bonus points since they are already in the 3 IP schools (HCI/NYGH/DHS)

But HCI offers LEP @ sec level (I’m in). DHS as well.
