[quote=\"taurbear\"]SOTA has emailed to candidates and announcement on the portal needs to be acknowledged.

Received CO from SOTA for dance, but not sure if to accept it, DD loves dancing but heard the dancers' schedule are tough at SOTA, need to cope with IB schedule and dancers basically dance at least 11 hrs per week, school can end at 12am when there is performance or competition, this was told by a friend's hubby who was SOTA maths teacher. Also, understand SOTA now only allow one science at year 5 and 6, is it true?

double science for those able to manage... its a case by case basis from what i heard at the parents symposium[/quote]I personally spoke to the Head of Science at SOTA during Open House earlier this year; he assured me that Year 5 n 6 students who are academically strong in science will be given the opportunity to take up double science on a case to case basis. However, there is no triple science combination in SOTA, so Medicine at tertiary level would probably not be a viable option for SOTA students.

Hope the info helps.

Not just SOTA.


In the Junior Colleges, for Year 5 & 6, while preparing for A level, maximum permit only 2 (double) Sciences : either (Chem/Physics), or (Chem/Bio) combination, apart from Maths.

JC force you to take up one compulsory Humanities subject. (History / Geog / Lit / Econs, etc)


None of the JCs now allow A level students to take up Triple Science, neither.

If want to study Triple Science : only NUS High can, but study at an accelerated, fast pace.

And it’s also the same for all IBs, including ACSI, SJI, etc. Max. 2 sciences at years 5 and 6 because of the subject grouping requirements. For medicine, many unis accept double sciences, as long as one of them is chemistry (if I remember correctly)

Congratulations to all DCs who got CO and WL.

Does tis means that the student has to drop the arts form Gp 6 to take additional science subject or add on as I knw is 6 Subjects total with the artform

Should be correct as friend's son was from SOTA and is doing medicine at NUS now
