question 1 :
Whats the difference between GP and Knowledge Inquiry?

Econs H1 and Econs H2, whats the difference ?

Your questions are general questions that aren’t unique to EJC. Most parents with kids in / gone thru A Level / with an interest in A Level should be able to address that.

Another talking about drop out rates. True this a serious matter. But there seems to be no \"truths: to be found here.

I’m not an EJC parent. But my friend, whose kid just finished EJC told me the “high” number of drop out rates/retention rate in EJC is not true lah. Maybe at most 10-ish if not less, the norm for most JCs. Certainly not the 100+ “someone“ said it to be. So don’t get too worried about this.

So does other JC have Knowledge Inquiry ? From my understanding, only EJC have. Correct me if im wrong.

Hi, our (IP)JC (not EJC) offers KI as well.

The IP JCs all offer Knowledge & Inquiry (KI). A Google search for the SEAB syllabus provides info on what's covered for KI as a H2 subject.

Quite a few other JCs offer KI. RI, HCI, TJC, CJC that I know. You'll have to take a test to see if you qualify to take KI. In response to your earlier question, KI is a little like Philosophy and the exam format comprises Paper 1 Essay, Paper 2 Critical Thinking and Paper 3 Independent Study.

And to answer the next part of the question, H2 is heavier than H1. Therefore, KI is heavier than GP.

Similarly, H2 Econs is heavier than H1 Econs. Specific differences - please refer to syllabus.

Someone asked about whether there is any \" Bridging \" Maths course, in another thread.
The answer is No

https://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=67330&start=2610

Above query, is for Maths

Likewise, for A-level pure Science subjects,

If someone else were to ask,
is there a \"Bridging\" Physics / Bio course in JC1, the answer is No

============================

Why do students (parents) request for a \"Bridging\" Physics / Bio course ?


because

In (IP3 and IP4),
their children taken ( double Science + double Humanities) subject combination

E.g.

[U] scenario 1 [/U]

their child taken IP3 & IP4 (Physics + compulsory Chemistry) in IP (St Nick / SCGS/ CHS),

but at end of IP4 promotional exam, the student did not do well for Physics, don't feel like continue with Physics (JC) anymore. Hence, student consider switching over to A-level Bio in JC1, thus asking whether is there any \"Bridging\" Bio course available, in JC1 ?


[U] scenario 2 [/u]

their child taken IP3 & IP4 (Bio + compulsory Chemistry), but at end of IP4 promotional exam, the student did not do well for Bio, feel like dropping Bio. Hence, student consider switching over to A-level Physics in JC1, thus asking whether got any \" Bridging \" Physics course available in JC1


Chemistry is compulsory in both IP / OP track, as well as in A-level, for Science stream students. As such, students will Not raise request for any \"Bridging\" Chemistry

nothing beat better, than doing grounding homework check


1) Economics

you can print out double-sided A4 size page, for Econs 2019 syllabus from SEAB website,
compare & contrast the syllabus in detail

After print out, go through the syllabus thoroughly, should be able to

i)
figure out, ascertain the extent of, roughly how much percentage overlap content is there, between (H1 vs. H2) Econs,

and

ii)
what are the extra topics tested inside H2, but not found inside H1 syllabus ?


Likewise, do the same for GP vs. KI
