she is below average of the cohort but I doubt the teachers will suggest taking another year.
unless going to other JC.

Being below average of the cohort isn't a good indicator of how she'll do at A levels, because of the varying calibre of students in different JCs. In a better JC, being below average would still land you in university. A better gauge would be to speak to the teachers. An experienced teacher from that JC would be able to tell you, based on past statistics, how your daughter is likely to fare given her promo results. I know of a student who scored a D in the promos but was assured by the subject teacher that the student would score an A in the A levels. Which is what happened.

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.

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

I heard from my DD yes, there are some JCs only give the promo results in nov.
these will be the JCs that have no re-exam in JC1, I guess.
for my DD Jc, they have supplementary papers if you failed as overall subject grade.

She understands from her senior that should one fails to be promoted to J2, PW will still go on this year and be awarded PW A levels cert next year. The student need not do PW in the 2nd attempt of JC1.

Pls note this info is not verified.

I believe this is the case. My friend's son repeated JC1 but didn't have to redo PW or MT. The rule is that GP and the content subjects must be in the same sitting, but PW can be in a separate sitting.

Yup dd1's JC did away for JC1 this year too.... But my ds is not in the same JC as her and I heard the term \"advance\" in the event one don't clear promo and wonder what it means.

Unsure how true it is, some JCs are also well known for not promoting... dd1 had sec school friend (traditionally academically strong type) who was retained in JC1.... we stopped ds from choosing that JC as top choice as he can be a wild card too.
