Infocomm is a full subject for Sec 1 and 2 I think. Can't run away from it. Its weightage is the same as Maths or HCL lol

During my time, most of us who scored B3 or below for HCL at Sec 4 will opt to retake in JC1 to get an A.
Languages is computed as part of the MSG. -

how about now ? If score below B3 for HCL at Sec 4, can still re-take HCL in year 5, or they bar (prevent) u ?During my time, most of us who scored B3 or below for HCL at Sec 4 will opt to retake in JC1 to get an A.

I’m sure can right? Cos there will be JAE kids who did not read HCL and they will do Chinese in Year 5, 1st attempt, and can retake in Year 6. That said I have no idea I’ve lost touch with the system.

Just popped by and read postings about HCL learning difficulties. Besides the usual reading/listening/tuition, another thing which you can consider is study tour. My DS's school (IP) organises such tours during Dec to Taiwan (3 weeks). You can read more about the tour at this link;

My son's classmates said it was really helpful for them, so you might want to check this out. I think cost is fairly reasonable and it would be great exposure for them, but there are obviously pros and cons for such kind of study tours.... eg duration (3 weeks too long?), they may join children from other countries (could be good/bad) and adult supervision might not be 100% (definitely bad for me!), so do consider this carefully. -

It is now compulsory for students who score below B3 (or was it B4?) to take H1 Chinese in JC1, there's an option for those who scored B but want to improve to A to take as well, but most people try to avoid it as it's rather time-consuming.

DS and I are very disappointed no infocomm for yr 3 and 4.We find it easiest to get A1 than humanities subjects. :gloomy:
So will it be offered at A level? -
Yes Maple Leaf - Computing is back as an A level subject after a long time hiatus!
But I am not sure what combinations HCI will offer.
Infocomm is difficult but I am really personally very impressed at what HCI has been doing with the Infocomm syllabus in Sec 1! -
