My DS was from a neighbourhood secondary school and he did well enough to enter one of the 'elite' JC.
The Ugly Truth About Life As A JC Student
I had recently graduated from my Junior College, and I am glad to say it was a huge relief. Life as a JC student was never easy, especially when you're in a JC that constantly aims to be among the top 5 Junior Colleges in Singapore. Here's my story of the struggles and tremendous pressure I faced every day as a JC student.
Life in Secondary School was way too straightforward and simple. No politics, nothing. Well, as a matter-of-fact, I only came to realize this after I proceeded on to JC. Spurred on by the motivation to do well in lower secondary and hopefully to do triple science in upper secondary, I always maintained my spot as the top few students in class. Maths and Science were my two favorite subjects and I excelled well in them. Although achieving academic excellence felt really good and gave you a sense of euphoria whenever you're among the top few, sometimes this easily leads to developing an inability to grapple with reality such that you no longer accept yourself when you fall from grace. This was exactly what happened to me and made me felt extremely miserable, depressed, and angry about life and myself. I started blaming, hating and punishing myself as the once clear and bright pathway that I had been treading on became one hell of a blur smog.
After receiving my O level results, though it wasn't fantastic, (8 points; blame those A2s), I was glad I could enter my dream school which I told almost everyone on earth about it. In the beginning, the young, innocent me always dreamt of entering this school because I naively thought since it wasn't an elite school, coupled with everyone's optimistic viewpoints about this school, (helpful teachers, new and squeaky clean environment, loads of notes, extremely hardworking students, nice library etc) it was the school that fit all of my criteria to fulfill my dreams and aspirations later in life. However, life isn't always smooth sailing and instead of being a springboard towards achieving my lifelong dream, it just smashed it downright silly.
All the excitement and enthusiasm about starting a new chapter of my life in a fresh new environment was overpowering and entering my JC for the first time felt really good. I made many friends during the first few days of orientation and the food was really delicious too. When I got to know my class a few weeks later, I quickly blended in well and was happy and satisfied at my progress of developing into a young adult. During our outdoor orientation, it was freaking fun under the sun and we all thought and said among ourselves: THIS IS THE LIFE YO, followed by our house team's cheers and we just screamed our lungs out during those days. Reality finally sunk in when we started our very first lecture and tutorial.
Till today, I didn't know WHY I was placed in one of the best classes in my cohort. Probably 'cause I chose to do 4 H2s without having any frigging idea how hard a struggle that'd be. Shit happens. (Lets call my class, K). Under pressure from society's expectations, K was always supposed to do well despite learning more than others. When I chose to do economics, chemistry, physics and maths, I thought this subject combination fits me perfectly and furthermore, I felt economics was important as it'd provide me with an added advantage of having a greater depth of financial knowledge that is crucial in today's volatile economy as compared to other non-economics students. (NO, it was simply memorizing diagrams and essays and regurgitating them during exams) Unfortunately, this was the gravest mistake I've made as it led to my greatest downfall in life.

JC life was tough and he spent many hours studying each day. But he was disciplined.
He even told my DD yesterday (she just got her GCE O Level results today) that she cannot slack off when she enters JC because the pace is very fast.
But my DS did very well for his GCE A Levels. This really boils down to hard work and discipline. There are many others who also did well in JCs.
So, it depends on individuals, how they motivate themselves and slog on. JC life may not be as bad as you have painted. -

Nope. He attended the H2 lectures until the end. When the friends noticed that his assigned seat for A level is empty, they were wondering whether he was sick. Only after they contacted him after the As then he told them he dropped the H2 to H1 just a few days before.
It is also possible that your DS friend had planned to drop to H1 level quite some time back, but did not let anyone know but continued to attend H2 lectures in the meantimengl2010\" post_id=\"1958782\" time=\"1578906273\" user_id=\"40978:
DS has friend that dropped one H2 subject to H1 just a few days before A level.
DS said can drop H2 to H1 even just 1 day before the exam as long as have not taken any paper of that subject (some subjects have 4 papers including practical). -

There are JAE students that come in via DSA. If they come in via DSA, it is possible that their L1R5 is high hence the requirement of raw 11 for 4H2.

On this point, I would strongly suggest that anyone considering this option check in advance with their JC first. It may be that some JCs are less flexible than others, whatever the SEAB rules might be.
DS said can drop H2 to H1 even just 1 day before the exam as long as have not taken any paper of that subject (some subjects have 4 papers including practical). -

The \"vertical cut\" is the theory! But the specifics are likely to vary depending on subject, so it's best to consult the teachers early, before considering the change.
Thanks, slmkhoo, for sharing your experience. Good to know such info, in case the need to change to H1 in one of the subjects arises. -
