I am currently in secondary 4 and my goal is to join NYJC. I do not have amath and would really like to take h2 maths... I went for amath tuition so I have knowledge of the subject too

So is it possible to take h2 math in NYJC in this scenario? :?:

May I know what your reason is for not taking A math in O levels but wish to pursue H2 math in JC?

From my friend's DD's experience, it's not possible to take H2 maths in NYJC if you do not take or fail A maths in O levels. In fact, you will not qualify for Science stream in any JC if you do not do A maths.

FYI, NYJC has a very small group of pupils doing H1 maths and it is quite demoralising for friend's DD to be one of the odd ones.

I was a little too playful in sec 2 and I got 59 for math. But the school's requirement was 60. Even though I appealed, the outcome was still the same. I would like to pursue engineering when I go to uni and h2 math is a must.

I would suggest dat the best way is to send in an direct email to the college ... (at [email protected]) and see how the college evaluate on this. (re-taking the relevant O level papers may be a compromise for certain subjects If i rmb correctly ......but not sure whtr those regulations applies here or have changed since..)

Education is not just about the quality of the admission of students, but the outcome!
A good leader needs chance and trust to lead and grow, just like students (we were once students isn't it? )

No doubt the new principal has good credentials but he may still lack experience. Pardon me but I am not so sure if I should take the risk to give him 'a chance to grow' :oops: I was drawn to nyjc mainly by the current principal. If only I could wait and observe for a few years.

Some sec schs are too rigid and robbed students of their ambition. :mad:
Lingbrolovesoccer, is it possible to retake the relevant o level paper as the student will be in jc2 when he gets the result?
I am aware that there are jcs (eg tjc) which are flexible enough to allow students who meet the overall criteria, but without A math, to take h2 math as the jc will provide a bridging course.

\"A friend's child was there. They used to produce value-added academic results every year and very good CCA results despite having no cut-off points. But heard that the academic standard has dropped despite having much better cut-off points. My friend's child did his GCE last year, and according to him, the teachers felt that it's the best batch (in terms of cut-off) but the worst GCE results.\"

Can someone assure me of Mr Low's leadership please?

I am sorry to hear that, EpicReborn. Most of our local educators don't give students chances and trust to grow, do they?

In anyway, wish you luck, EpicReborn.

I tried my best to appeal. But now ppl are dropping a maths because they cannot handle it and here I am being saddened by the fact that I could have taken it and managed it well. I just hope to get h2 math and achieve my only dream.

Be sure to attend NYJC's 2017 Open House to seek information. I am sure the helpful teachers there will guide you to make the best choice

Thank you for the reply. Would It be recommended that I go to the jc experience thing that NYJC has and may I know the dates for the open house too?[/quote]Surely, you should sign up for the JC Experience
