If you are considering ACJC, you can also consider EJC which is nearby , last year COP is 9.

Is EJC good as it is a new school and hence never hear any feedback?

Go and check out the Eunior Junior College thread in this forum.

It is an up and coming IP JC being set up. Read the thread, many positive feedback on the school, teachers and the environment. It is being \"groomed\" to be one of the top JC in Singapore

Not sure about other JCs except AJC. My nephew went to AJC and did very well (CPM and EconH1) and got offers from NTU and NUS.

DO NOT go to a JC just because your L1R5 happens to fit the bill.

HELP! Which JC should I go to with L1R5 11 pts nett/ 9 pts after minus 2pts

Im staying in the east.

In mind science stream:
AJCJ - 7 cut off point (not sure if i should try to put as first choice thou im 9 pointer)
SAJC - 9 cut off point (is it true as heard the culture is better but concern about the passing rate to enter local uni)
AJC - 9 cut off point (is it true that they are famous for harder paper and retainer is high, concern about the merging with Serangoon JC)
TJC - 9 cut off point (heard the culture is not so good and student arrogant)

Anyone can advise on the passing rate for A level to enter local uni (NTU/NUS and SMU) is higher and the culture of the school as still dilemma of which school to choose.

ACJC: you can still put this as your first choice since u seem to like it. If it really happens that the COP increases this year, u will get in.

SAJC: it is a Christian school, presumably u will like it as it is similar to ACJC culture. Dunno about Uni entry rate.

AJC (or any merging school): try to avoid as the teachers and staff and JC2 students are all getting their heads around the changes. Definitely will have some teething problems. U don’t want that to trickle down to your studies.

TJC: the nearest to your house, assuming VJC is out of your reach. Why not? I dunno about any arrogant culture. During my JC days, TJC used to be the 4th ranked JC (after RJC, HCJC and NJC). So the academic side of things should be relatively good. Dunno about more recently.

TJC without a doubt. Arrogant students are everywhere, same for nice students... The world is made up of different types of characters...

I am going on work trip next week on posting result day so won’t be around to help DS. In the event he needs to appeal to the choiced JC, what is the appeal process for JC and how can we prepare in advance? Thanks.

Seriously, I'm surprised that there is even a need to ask.

My impression is that most JCs hand out copious notes and worked examples. My daughters didn't use anything else!
