hi simkhoo,
Thanks for help and insight.
So its not 4 H2 + 1H1 ?
But 4 H2 only OR 3 H2 + 1 H1
Sorry i'm a bit confused here.
How many subjects in total actually ?
Option 1 :
Lit ( H2 ) + Hist ( H2) + Econs (H2) + Maths (H2) + GP ------ 5 subjects Not usually counted this way.
Li (H2) + Hist (H2) + KI (H2) + Maths / Econs ( H1) ------ 4 subjects
In the MOE website, for Humanities Scholarship Programme students :
Besides offering the GP ( students offering KI need not offer GP) .... and Project Workat H1 level. Humanities scholars must offer ....
First H2 : Lit
Second and Third H2 : Choices : Econs, Geography, History
In addition to three H2 subjects, Humanities Scholars have to offer a contrasting subject which may be KI or from the Maths/ Science group.
If you are only referring to CONTENT subjects, then the normal is 4 subjects (i.e. 4 H2 or 3 H2 + 1 H1).
However, there are 2 more compulsory subjects - GP (H1) and PW (H1); and if your child has not taken HMT at O level, he has to take MT (H1). These are not usually mentioned as they are common to all students (except if the student takes KI, he doesn't take GP).
May I know when they say contrasting subject, does it matters if its H1 or H2 ?
This will depend on the terms of the scholarship. I am not sure if the students must take 4 H2 or may take 3 H2 and 1 H1. In fact, some students might take a non-contrasting subject at H1 level and a contrasting subject at H2 level, but the HP doesn't allow that, based on what you quote above.
H2 : Lit, Econs, History
If four H2 : + KI or Maths (H2) ---- contrasting subject. If choose Maths still have to take GP.
If three H2 and one H1 : GP or Maths (H1) GP cannot be counted as one of the 4 CONTENT subjects.
I believe, if student choose Maths, they'll still need to take GP.
Making it 5 subjects instead.
Yes, if he takes Maths he needs to take GP. But see above for why GP is not counted as one of the 4 A level subjects. -

Saw that you have been asking the same question in a number of threads.

I have no idea about DSA to ACJC via theatre but there are a few things we know / can deduce:
- If there is an offer, we are talking about only one, or maybe max. two CO.
- Therefore, the more talent you have, the stronger candidate you will be. A candidate who can sing, dance, act, direct and even do some writing will have a better chance than one who can only do one thing.
- That said, if you can only do one thing, you have to make sure that you are the BEST in that ONE thing. I think it’s a small circle, preferably you have some name recognition (preferably in Singapore, but no harm if you are known in JB and Batam as well). -

Hello Janet. For your dd?
curious about H2 subjects.
my kid wants to enter school of dentistry but after checking NUS website, saw that H2 chemistry and H2 physics or biology is required. how does one take H2 and does my kid need to take pure chemistry and physics for o levels?
Some (random) examples:
① http://www.hci.edu.sg/admissions/college/academic-programmes-college contains some qualitative remarks
② While https://www.temasekjc.moe.edu.sg/academic/subject-combinations contains some Indicative cut-offs as well. For instance (quoting the document), H2 CH at ALevels -> B3 for Pure CH at OLevels, or A2 for Combined Science (CH) at OLevels
It seems that you do Not need to take pure sciences at OLevels to qualify for H2 sciences at ALevels, & different colleges may have different prerequisites
