Secondary 2 Streaming

[peasants]

This thread even if meant for sec 2 but useful for sec 4 too. Now then I know both my kids detest Science and aiming for Art Stream subjects combo.

Clearing MT is necessary for non-provisional admission into local Universities,. It is however, not a requirement for it to be included in the UAS score. Hence, there is no need to ‘do well’ in it.

Chinese cannot replace GP in the UAS computation.

Entry to local universities is contingent on fulfilling all entry requirements; placement into course is based on UAS (for courses without other admission tests), if not applying via discretionary admissions.

MerlionG, thks - i think so too - add to 90 for combi = 3H2 + 3H1
next qn :
3H1 - 1 contrasting H1 subject + 1 GP + 1 Pw

3H1 for UAS - the content H1 in the UAS doesn't have to be the contrasting H1 subject - it could be the weakest H2 content subject, regardless contrasting or not. The 4th H2 content subject will be converted into a H1 weightage if you read 4H2s. It is the contrasting H1 in the UAS if you read 3H2 and 1H1 (contrasting).

Above for A level uni entry pts

IB kids also need sec 2 streaming too right
Then will be another set of points calculations too ? :scared:

For some strange reason, I can't find the computation of UAS on either the NUS or NTU websites. Here's one from Tampines JC:
https://tpjc.moe.edu.sg/partnerships/parents/parents-information-kit/university-admissions/

1) Is it correct : Uni entry is generally based on 3H2 & 2H1 ( 1contrasting subject + 1 GP or project work ? )
Maximum UAS is 3 x 20 + 3 x10 = 90
20 for each H2; 10 for the 4th subject (H1/H2); 10 for GP; 10 for PW

2) any idea abt H3 subject pts?
H3 is not counted.

edit to add qn:
the extra project work , chinese , 4th H2 - for what purpose, can't add points on top of Combi of (3H2+2H1) ?
See above.
actually Sec2 subject combi selection is quite impt - as it leads to A level eligible subjects combi and into uni pts entry
True, that's why it's being discussed here.

Correct me if I’m wrong. I don’t think MTL can replace the 4th subject…

The computation of UAS with MTL is a bit different, but cannot replace any of the H1 or H2 subjects.

H3 is and has never been counted in UAS for local university entry.

It is however part of a student’s portfolio if applying for scholarships, demonstrating deep interests in a particular fields etc.

no, it cannot lah....

if you add chinese, you will have to convert the total out of 100 back to out of 90. You cannot replace PW, GP, or H1/4th H2 with chinese.

p.s. you can see my earlier post on how to compute UAS with MTL....

Oops - I've checked and you're right. I think this has changed because I am quite sure it was possible a few years ago.
I'll edit my earlier post.
