Does anybody knows where I can get the A level performance of the JCs ? Has anybody done a comparison with the different JC performance ?

Some of the JCs publish their results on their websites. But different JCs publish different sets of results so it's very difficult to compare performance.

well, you can go to the NYJC thread and read a heated discussion over this months back....there is one person who insisted that NYJC did better than some of the IP JC/schools (NJC, Dunman High, TJC, River Valley e.t.c ) but when asked to substantiate his claims, he cannot.

Anyone know which mrt station is the shortest/fastest walking distance to ACJC?

B Vista mrt station or one-north mrt station?

[msmag69]

Bouna Vista Mrt is nearer

Hello! I would like to ask around for advice regarding this combination in JC


H2 Chemistry, H2 Geography, H2 Math and H1 Econs

Are there any Jcs that accept this combi? In addition, I would also like to ask if a hybrid combi is seen as a science stream or art stream?

Thank you in advance!

Can't advise you on which JCs, but it seems to me like some/most should. But I don't really know.
Hybrid combos are considered \"science\".

Most JCs are flexible with their combi these days and I believe most of them should offer that. My understanding is that hybrid combi can be applicable to both Science or Arts. For instance, if one chooses 3H2 and 1H1 combi with 2 sci subjects as H2, it's a sci hyrid combi. Alternatively, if he chooses 2 arts subjects as H2, it's an arts combi.
E.g. of sci hybrid combi: H2 Math /H2 Chemistry /H2 Geog /H1 Econs (2H2 sci)
E.g. of arts hybrid combi: H2 Geog/ H2 Econs/ H2 Chemistry/ H1 Math (2H2 arts)

Yes, agreed. Do not be confused and jumped to conclusion that JC X has definitely outdone JC Y since no JC will be displaying its full set of stats to anyone, including its own pupils.

E.g. of arts hybrid combi: H2 Geog/ H2 Econs/ H2 Chemistry/ H1 Math (2H2 arts)

I see what you mean that a hybrid combo can be either Arts or Science if it's a 3H2/1H1 combo. I was thinking of a 4H2 combo. In that case, I think JCs regard that a \"Science\".

Hi,


Just want to check, will they allow a H2 Chem, H2 Econ, H2 Lit and H1 Math hybrid combination be accepted? Any views anyone. Thanks.
