What is the obsession with taking 4H2s?


I'm also curious if what winsomelosesomee says about nyjc offering 4H2 regardless of results is fact or not, and about \"NY has enough resources to cater to this, not worried overall results affected or not.\" and a host of other claims

I can understand maybe a B3 or B4 should get a shot at taking subject at H2 level if that is his \"passion\", but a C5/C6? Even A1 students have a lot to do in H2, let alone C5/C6 who seems not to have grasp the fundamentals well yet. (I supposed we are largely talking about the Math and Sciences and not so much about the humanities.)

Anyway offering 4H2 is one thing, how many students stick to 4H2 to the end is another thing. I supposed we won't have such statistics.

[quote=winsomelosesomee post_id=1962485 time=1581050352 user_id=183607]Applaud 👏Ny for being flexi in 4H2 take up, not just based soley on yr R5 result. Thats align with MOE- cant judge a person based on 1 National exam seating.

Ny gives 4H2 opportunity to all its students and has enough resources to cater to this, not worried overall results affected or not.

Ny believes if students want it, Ny will do it best to give you.
1 of the Right stuff from Nyjc.

Err... Isn't this what all JCs do? :scratchhead:

From what i know, JCs have criteria that students with R5 of certain single point can only qualify for 4H2.
Eg my friend daughter appeal from MJC( before merger) to TJC successgully but VP only allowed her to take 3H2. So she rejected offer.

Ny is flexi in this aspect- students' interest is priority to Ny.[/quote]basically, this show that Nanyang JC have empathy towards her students, who are keen in taking up a unique H2 subject, but may not have the minimum grade required. A college, whose heart show empathy, is a good Junior College

But are other JCs willing to take risk of allowing eg a C5 Phy/Chem/Bio students to take up 2 H2 Sci ?
So far, probably no, why?

I think in TMjC, you are allowed to take H2 if you have a min c6 in that o level subject.
Eg h2 chem ok if o level chem is min c6. I was just looking at it yesterday cos a colleague’s kid is posted there.
But I didnt read in details. So maybe there are many more JCs that do the same, just need to check the one you are interested in.

That’s right. I took F Maths in JC. I think during my time, there was no pre requisite, but while we started off as 9 classes taking F Maths, I think the final number of students in the exam hall was way below the initial number.

So actually the “marketing” strategy of schools without pre requisite is quite good, they say you come, take anything you like, just come, but maybe they know, eventually you’re going to drop it to H1, so if I dont impose anything on you, even though I very much want to, in the end, you’ll end up doing what I want you to do in the first place. End result is the same, you end up doing it at H1. I didnt make you, you dropped it yourself. Your own decision.

wah… seriously i never know my post on 4H2 will create a storm… my DS appeal into sci stream… he got 10-4… and he got A2 for both his science and A1 for both his maths… so i am not sure about requirement to take 4H2… basically his nyjc snrs all told him to opt for H2… cannot cope then drop by end of jc1… no harm… so he follow lor…

Just showcasing the Right stuff from Ny.

...

Err. Got pre-requisite for F Math. You must pass A Math in order to take F Math (don’t think there was a grade attached to it though).

I scored F9 for A Math in prelim (total score barely double digit) and wasn’t allow to take F Math. Even though my argument was sound - I have more than enough subjects to make up L1R5, and Math is an easy peasy A1, plus O Level will SURELY score much better, the school refuses to give way to me until O Level result was released

Actually, the focus of this conver is not about how impt or obess taking 4H2.
Its not so impt, imo.

Focus is Ny is willing to work with its students' interests and offer 4H2 as long students initiiate.

[zac's mum]

I guess having 4H2 keeps the options open, since u need a minimum of 3H2 for university calculation? So if you’re not sure which are your best 3 subjects, it’s good to have 4H2 initially and then drop the weakest one if can’t cope.


Versus, being forced to choose 3H2 and can’t upgrade/switch combi later even if you want to.

Yes, zac mom hit right on the nail.

She explained it very well, so clear.
