      Maybe strategy game - give false hope to the mass inclu 12-14 pointers .

      Demand higher than supply will push down the COP ultimately ?
      But DH also have one O level class - probably wanna Cater to this grp to choose back DH- guessing …

        Increase cohort also equate to more operating fund for the Sch- why not

            DHS est COP 12 to 15??...same level as CJC and worst than ASRJC??...I thought they should at least same level as NY, NJ..well probably people prefer the real JC life....
            Apparently according to the teacher, they accepted their own O’level students around this range. With only 80 places, I really doubt it will be the case and maybe criteria for other O’level students might be different too. Understand quite a no. of students with better scores from her school are applying for it.
            Anyway, I low key juz hope she get into Poly ..

              On 31 January 2019 (Thursday), we will know what's the COP at Dunman High, since posting results out on that day

                Technically speaking, their own students don't need to apply through JAE right? They just need to score whatever at O-levels to continue to Year 5, no?

                  When DS works on a piece of hands on work, he gets it done (70-80%).

                  When DS works on a academic question, he gets it done (70-80%).
                  Maybe the degrees of difficulty between hands on work and academic question have to be calibrated, but we do not know of a way to do it. E.g. if he gets an easy piece of hands on work, and a difficult academic question it doesn’t indicate anything, or vice versa. How else can we tell which learning mode suits him better since he doesn’t indicate a preference for academic work or hands on work at the moment (for the purposes of choosing Poly or JC) ?
                  Also wanted to verify if a rumour is true, that some schools offer ALP and scores of ALP, just like OP/ IP subjects can be used for Poly admissions. Is there such a thing ?

                    Not sure what to post so I borrow this thread. I just found out from MOE website that in order to enter JC, the L1R5 must contain the following:

                    - EL or HCL
                    - any humanities or special language
                    - any maths or science
                    - any humanities or special language or maths or sci
                    - any 2 relevant subjects
                    Where does computing fall under?
                    I heard a boy who dsa to Hci jc could not enter his computing score into the online dsa portal and was forced to use his lesser subject as a substitute.

                      So we need 2 humanities?
                      Did I misinterpret?
                      R3 (bold and underline above) can include math/science. R1 (italics) is the one that can trip people up.

                        I think Computing is a O subject, O as in Others. So it goes under R4 and R5.
                        R1 is a H (humanities)
                        R2 is a S (science) or M (maths)
                        R3 is a H or S or M.
                        R4 and R5 are any of the above or an O (others)
