phtthp : useful info … the Ps have set the requirements known early .
align with most jc jae H2 sci cut off & low appeal success rate for competitive jc for those <64% cases -
@MP. OT: Minority taking double SC + triple Humanities. Tak tahu - school regulations are such that if you offer an extra advanced Humanities subject, have to give up a SC. Otherwise, Humanities are: (1) the compulsory SS(-lookalike), plus, (2) either History or Geography. Literature is part of Language Arts(?)...
Iirc, teacher was saying that H2 GE will talk about Water (though some IP already did Geographical Investigation on waters in Year1...)
To take 4H2s in Year5, ours is something like in Year4 overall >65% with the intended subject itself >55% (if interested, I need to check).
So, your kiddo will do Humanities? As long as there is interest, every subject is cool.

Most JCs will allow students who did not read Biology in Sec 3 and 4, to read Biology at Year 5, I thought?
HCI made it clear to us that Sec 3 and 4 Biology is not a prerequisite. -

Yes, the IP requirements in (St Nick, SCGS) and i presume also the same for Catholic High IP (?) , are in line with JAE students entering Eunoia Junior College, after O level

on EJC website, it stately clearly that
JAE students aiming (targeting) to do H2 Science subjects @EJC, must score at least minimum B3 in their respective O-level Science subject
https://eunoiajc.moe.edu.sg/curriculum/subject-combinations/
65 and above : minimum B3
O-level academic grading
====================
A1: 75 - 100
A2: 70 - 74
B3: 65 - 69
B4: 60 - 64
C5: 55 - 59
C6: 50 - 54
D7: 45 - 49
E8: 40 - 44
F9: 0% - 39% -

mine no talent in humanities :nailbite: done well in lower sec though. upp level is different. alot of memory work + applications+ sourced based qn for Hist/ss - mine find it a chore; dislike memory work. unlikely to choose in future,i think. i always think Geo is a interesting subject. but there were hear say rumour say Geo is not suitable for kids weak in math ( i dunno ...how true.. is it becos of data interpretation on rain, water, population, statistics etc :?

to note - easier to get tutors for sci subjects compared to humanities subject (if needed) -

majority of our Junior Colleges in Singapore, do require Sec (3 and 4) Biology as a pre-requisite, and scored at least a B3
(1)
EJC don't allow students without any basic, fundamental Sec (3 nor 4) Bio background, to jump straight direct into H2 A-level Biology, especially when there is a big difference in curriculum scope, between O level vs. A-level Bio content
(2)
other Junior colleges like Temasek JC, also function the same way as EJC
students must have taken Sec (3 and 4) Bio before, scored at least a B3
https://www.temasekjc.moe.edu.sg/qql/slot/u550/Academic/JC%20Programme/JC1%20Subject%20Combination%20and%20Prerequisites%20%282019%29.pdf
(turn to page 6)
(3)
National Junior College, also imposed minimum B3
https://nationaljc.moe.edu.sg/curriculum/senior-high/subject-combinations/
(4)
Dunman High too, said -
At higher and more advanced levels, the study of Biology is built on the content knowledge
gained from the O-Level syllabus. Thus a foundational course in O-Level Biology is compulsory
for students intending to take up H2 Biology. To offer H2 Biology, students should possess a
good knowledge and understanding of Biology at O-Level.

St Andrew Junior College too, said -
B3 or better in Pure Biology at GCE O level, or
A1 in Combined Science (with Biology) at GCE O level

@MP. Ooh, ' took HI? A lot of reading up bah? Mine no interests in HI, plus not that hardworking, so GE seems comparatively much much more manageable. Indeed, Science subjects probably easier to get external coaching hor. Jiayou!

HI: History
GE: Geography -
These info applicable to both IP & O hor..in general la

MrsKiasu:
These info applicable to both IP & O hor..in general
Yes, Mks, at least with regards to MP's and my posts. So when deciding a post Psle school, may be good to consider the upper Secondary subject combinations available as well. -

my kid teachers (or sch) encourages 2 Pure Sci, 2 Humans( Geo, His/ss OR Geo/ss , Hist)
triple sci is also popular among kids who love Science esp Biology or aspire to be in medical field ( not necc doctors)
note : Pure Hist has more textbooks to study than Pure Geo . Also elective hist study Eu wars - germany, russia etc Pure Hist focus on se asia as well - alot to swallow. - info for parents n kids to decide well .. go n ask the sch senior, teachers now to get more insight...
