In my DD’s school, no one scored A1 for Higher Chinese for the recent GCE O Levels.


This is very surprising becos there are students who are very academically inclined and some have shown consistent strength in the subject over the 4 years in secondary school.

I wonder how other secondary schools perform in this subject. Or did MOE raised the standard or the school is just unlucky where their students exam papers were marked by an unusually strict examiner/marker?

Asking on behalf of friend,
Her DD got L1r5 10, bonus 2 pts.
What is the raw L1r5 needed to do 4H2 in acjc?

Also, is the JC1 promo passing rate high?

For ACJC, L1R5 must be 8 points raw before they allow you to take 4 H2 subjects.

I asked them at the Open House last week.

How does the JC allocation system work
Allocate students by pts only or choice matters ?
what if two kid got 7 pts (after minus 2 bonus) who will got in first OR lucky draw?

Thanks!

Allocation by:
1. Nett points
2. If there is a tie, Singaporeans come first followed by PR and then foreign students
3. If 2 Singapore students are tied, the one with better raw points will get in first.
4. If there is still a tie, then ballot

After first Choice sch - I hope the system/computer will not be affected by CHOICE placements for other schools (fr 2nd to 12th inputs ( some parents heard scary rumour & shared earlier :yikes:

Is it all the 7-2 get in 1st, then the 9-4 get in, until the very last vacancy with a tie?

Thanks Parent!

Another friend now asked me this:
Her DD got 12-4, from Geylang Methodist, but didn’t attend open house last week.
She wants to know since she’s affiliated, is she ahead in the ranking, even ahead of those non-affiliate who are 10-2?

The distinction for HCL in my DS school is 29.6%. Considering that he is from a SAP school with strong Chinese culture.. this is quite low.. but to be fair.. with 8-9 subjects to manage and knowing that C6 will get you the 2 bonus points.. how many kids will aim for A1? My DS got C6 and he is happy that he got his 2 bonus points..

May I know the distinction you are referring to is A1 or A1 and A2?

By the way, there are students motivated enough to aim for better grades than a low pass for the 2 bonus points.
