slmkhoo: :congrats: to you and your dd1. Not considering uni? Maybe attend the various open houses to keep the options open?


Then again, the SP course that your girl is interested in looks interesting too. It would be something I would be keen in if that choice was available during my time. In any case, whatever her decision, I am sure you would have all given it serious thought. The most important thing is that she is happy and at peace with her decision.

Truly happy for your family. :rahrah:

Thanks for the good wishes. My daughter got 2 B's and a D for her 3 H2s, and B for GP, which is better than anything she's achieved before. We're thrilled! Hope SP will be too.

Congrats slmkhoo. You've proven to us that adopting a measured and differentiated approach to cater to each child's individual strengths will bear fruits in the long run.

Really not considering gg straight to uni?

Ya I find a bit sayang hor

Seem like beside RI, HCI, VJC and RVHS, no other JCs/schools have announce their detail A level results although some have general description of their subjects performance.

In a few years' time, your dc will be the flag bearers for the sch. Excited ornot?

F maths isn't available for his cohort. Anyway, most of the mathsy sciencey people he knows are reluctant to do F maths because they will hv to give up one of the H2 sciences. They would prefer to do H2 math, chem, bio/physics and a compulsory humanities plus a H3 math/science.

I do wonder about the combi with double math, one sci and one humanities. Sounds like an engineering combi. I think a double sci plus math rather than a double math plus sci would be more versatile and useful.

My ds is in such dilemma. He has wanted to do double maths initially but now he thinks that he likes chemistry too. The initial thought was if he takes subjects that he can handle better, he has more time to enjoy his cca and Jc life. But it is really up to him, will see what is his final decision.

Thanks, everyone! We are truly ecstatic!
We talked about uni vs poly last night, and we still advise her to go to poly. Just because she can get into a uni course doesn't mean that it's the best thing for her right now, I feel. And the ones she can get into may not be the ones that suit her interests, anyway. She is still relatively immature compared to the 19yo girls who will be her cohort, and this immaturity will affect her social life, adaptability and studies, especially as she's in humanities. We had to support her a great deal to cope with A levels, and we think the 3 yrs in poly will give her some useful growing up time as well as more social skills training! Uni is still an option for the future, after her diploma, or even after working for a while, and by then, we hope she will be able to enjoy it more and derive more benefit from it. I told her that uni can be a very enjoyable experience, but not if you're struggling to keep up academically and socially. Going now when she's not ready will be a waste, I feel. That's my thinking, anyway, and she's going to go with our advice.

:congrats: to slmkhoo on your DD1's achievements.

Cheers to another round (with DD2) next year !! :celebrate:

Thanks! I don't think I will be anything as anxious with the 2nd one. Especially now that I've seen RI's results.

Congratulations slmkhoo on your DD’s results.
