You need to pass MT to get into the local unis. That's the only implication.

D7 is the minimum needed to get into local universities - is that considered a \"pass\"?

I don't think there is HCL in JC. Students who aren't exempted in JC take H1 MT.

Ah. Thanks.

So I guess H1 cl in jc1 should be easier than hcl olevel?

Really hope to just get a pass.

It's easier to score at H1 CL than O level HCL. Bec the stronger students would've taken HCL at O levels and the competition's tougher.

Thanks jtoh.

I am confused about this whole hmt thing. So do the IP students take O level hcl or cl at Sec 3 or 4? And what exemption does it give in JC? I heard still must take cl or hcl in JC after this O level cl/hcl

IP students who are doing HCL take their O level HCL at Year 4. If they do well enough, they're exempted from taking MT in JC.

Hi jtoh, just to confirm - IP students only take their O Level HCL at Sec 4, not Sec 3? Becoz I also heard others said at Sec 3??? So it's Sec 3 or Sec 4? :?

[quote=\"anandhi\"]Hi parents,

My son did not take HMT in PSLE, can we request for HMT in secondary school ? what is the procedure to switch to HMT in secondary school?

Hi anandhi
All IP students must take HMT unless they are exempt from Mother Tongue. O level students in top schools are encouraged to take HMT whether or not they took it in pri school.
I believe there is an \"eligibility\" for HMT in the PSLE result slip?

It's not compulsory for all IP students to take HMT. Varies from school to school.[/quote]That’s right. Only SAP IP schools.
