Even within IP schools, there may be some prerequisites in Y4 results for taking certain subjects at H2 level. So it's not necessary that it's quite so free-for-all as long as a student is promoted to J1. These prerequisites will differ between schools and the school may change these requirements anyway. Frankly, when choosing a school at Sec 1, I would say that these issues are too far off in the future to agonise over. Go with a school that generally has a decent reputation and you can't go far wrong. There is no perfect school, and although details may differ, when it requires such agonising, the schools are probably pretty much equal in quality.
Like after O levels, you have, is it 12 choices? So you put XJC Sc, XJC Arts. And you get into your 2nd choice which is Arts, so you can only choose the Arts combi. Same as 30 years ago when we choose JC. This, you can understand?jakoh\" post_id=\"1948988\" time=\"1574653274\" user_id=\"151698:
\"When you go in with O levels, you are committed to the stream. Whereas for IP, you can choose any stream as long as you can promote to JC1. Hybrid stream is Sc stream for O levels students, I think.\"
Oh this is foreign to me! Cld u kindly help to elaborate and help me appreciate this point better...thanks!
With IP, when you are successfully promoted to JC1, you can choose any combi, as long as you meet specific subject prerequisite.
Hybrid combis, I think, come under Science. So if you want to do Hybird, and you got your 2nd choice which is Arts stream in my example, then you cannot do hybrid.
This is what I understand, but I can be wrong cos my kid only sec 1. -

Your 6th choice is redundant (and effectively wasted) becos SJI O has a lower COP historically than ACSI O. Maybe can consider swopping 5th and 6th choices, or change the 6th choice to a super-sure safety net choice such as St Andrews.
250+1
This order ok? Any comments welcome. Thanks
