        I believe that they can use their O level results and apply for poly with the next year's entry, and start in April. If they were in an IP school, they can use their Yr 4 results, but they may have a different application route (must check the individual poly websites).

          1 year is well worth it if the change is for the better, especially if the next gen is gonna spend >50 yrs working.

            Hi all

            found this very old thread.
            I am just wondering for your kids who had done badly during JC1 , how did they flare for their A level?
            very concern with my DD who just got her promo results
            1st and foremost, does the results reflect the effort she put in?
            Not everyone chiong for promo

              she is below average of the cohort but I doubt the teachers will suggest taking another year.
              unless going to other JC.
              The next question to ask is how well that portion of the previous cohort did in their A levels. If she is one of those JCs where the majority get into university, and more than half get 4 As, then being below the average isn't too bad. Also, some kids will improve a lot in 2nd year, and if your daughter hasn't worked as hard as she might because of CCAs, getting used to the system etc, then she may one of those.

                she works hard actually, but I think it also depends a lot on the actual day performance.
                she is well aware of the impt of the promo exam.

                  Another exploratory question as my JC1 said that they will only get back the result after oral presentation so as not to affect mood. Wondering what happens to students if they don’t meet promo criteria? Can they still be advanced?


                  My dd had classmates who were given another chance to sit for exams when JC2 reopens.

                    She will have to wither figure out how to maximize her chances, or accept what she is. My older girl is not an exam-smart person, and gets flustered easily. It's something she has not been able to overcome completely, and she (and we) have accepted that that is just her makup. In general, when her teachers predict that, on her general ability,she might be able to get a a range of grades, e.g. B to C, she will get the lower end in exams. What to do? I am like that myself, though I was fortunate that my \"range\" was higher.

                      How bad is bad? It is not at all uncommon for Cs and Ds at promos, progressing to As and Bs, even during our times.

                        Is this the so-called ‘re-exam’? My dd’s JC stopped this practice starting with the 2019 JC1 cohort
