              Hi parents, my P6 son is aiming to go HCI. He loves science. Can I know, in Sec 3, are they allowed to choose any subject combination or they must meet certain requirements before being allowed to choose certain " popular" subject combinations?

              Also, is the promotional criteria very tough to achieve?

                At s3, all the boys have to do Phy and Chem. Bio is optional for non special programme (SMTP) boys. If i remember correctly, for this year's sec3, they had to have at least MSG2.5 for sec 2 Science to be able to offer bio as the third sci subject.


                The \"default\" Sec 3 subject combination for IP students (excluding the Humanites Prog students, Sci/math talent students, and Language elective students and Structured IP students) are:

                1. English language
                2. HCL
                3. Integrated Maths
                4. Chem
                5. Physics
                6. Integrated Humanites Elective (Geog/Hist/ Lit - choose 1)
                7. Integrated Humanities Core (equivalent of Social studies in O levels)
                8. Project work component.
                9. Bio (optional)

                The promotion criteria can be found at: http://www.hci.edu.sg/admissions/high_s ... n-criteria

                It may change from batch to batch. Most of the boys do get promoted, so I don't think it is hard to achieve as long as one if fairly diligent and pays attention in class. šŸ™‚

                  Lexis I just heard from ds that there are \"Block Tests\" immediately after June holiday for Sec 4. I wonder if any sec 4 parents are able to verify. If this is so, there goes the June holiday?!

                        DS is applying for DSA to HCI. If ICAS Writing, English is credit - should I include the cert?
