        Thanks very much, mindays, for Great info 🙂
        Appreciated

        can see that Nanyang Junior College also strong in Maths

        Do you happen to have similar Science Olympaid results : break down by Physics / Biology / Chemistry Olympaid category ?

        (this way, we can tell which JC is strong, in which pure Science subject. Thanks)

            My niece is in year 1 Pioneer Jc. She scored mainly C for her subjects. The teacher say most kids will improve. Are Pioneer Jc papers tough? Will most do better for A levels? Worried because need at least B to qualify for most Uni courses.

              My DD is going through Stress, Depression and lack of Confidence. She is taking her A level Prelim Now. I feel the curriculum is difficult for her to cope. I am worried she may give up life. What should I do?


              Planning to contact her form teacher today.

              Is A level curriculum too difficult for an average student? I believe this year MOE changed the curriculum and even make it more hard. I do not know what to do another two months left for her final ‘A’ level exam.

              Please share your opinion. Thank you

                I hope your daughter's FT can help. If not, maybe see a counsellor? There should be one in school, or they can refer you to one.

                The JC years can be hard, but the average JC student usually does quite well in the end. It varies by the JC, but even in the weakest JCs, more than a third of students will qualify for university. Of course, the choice of courses may be limited. The main thing is to be realistic about the desired outcomes, and be prepared to try something else if the first choice is not possible, and realise that it is not \"failure\" but an \"alternative choice\". Even strong students won't necessarily get what they are aiming for as there is stiff competition at all levels, and the most important is that they realise that not getting what theire first choice is not the end of the world.

                My daughter is also taking A levels this year, and although she is not struggling academically, she is aiming for some competitive paths and may not get them, so I'm also reminding her not to focus on just a narrow range, but to be open to whatever comes. My older daughter took her A levels last year, and has always been quite a weak student - her teachers warned us that she was unlikely to get good enough grades to go to university. So she applied for a poly, didn't get her first choice, and got into another course. To our surprise, she did do well enough in the end to get into a couple of university courses, and she chose 1 of them, again not one she had considered before. Our main concern was to keep telling her that no matter what the route, as long as she kept going forward, it was OK, and not to compare with others.

                  Having mainly Cs for subjects are not too bad compared to the general cohort. Usually, there will be a jump in grade, 1 or 2 from Prelims to A Levels. PJC papers in my opinion should be alright, near A Level standard?

                  Good Luck to all candidates taking the 2017 A Levels

                    Thank you for sharing your experience and giving support. I really appreciate. I spoke to FT and she too observed her depression. She gave strong support and word of encouragement.My DD is going to meet the counselor soon. Hope it will improve.
                    Once again thank you
