how does NUS / NTU, define one complete round of \"A-level\" certificate sitting ?
GP plus 3 H2 subjects
... time-frame limit controlled? Otherwise, if exam taken too long ago, eg. More than 5 years ago, time had expired...
I can't find any mention of a time limit.
For Polytechnic students who have never done GP nor PW before, then how?
Wrt PW: (posted earlier, but I repeat it here for completeness
[color=#0000FF]https://www.askadmissions.nus.edu.sg/app/answers/detail/a_id/27/kw/a%20level%20results%20time%20limit/related/1
Although it is a requirement that students presenting the Singapore-Cambridge GCE 'A' Level examination results for admission to NUS must submit PW scores, we realise that there could be some students who do not have the opportunity to offer the subject. Such candidates will not be at a disadvantage and will not be required to submit PW scores for university admission. Instead, they will be considered for admission based on their overall performance in the Singapore-Cambridge GCE 'A' Level examination.
In addition, they may submit information on any exceptional talent/quality such as achievements in the area of the arts or sports at the national level, holding key management positions in organisations or a volunteer in social organisations. This exceptional talent/quality will be taken into consideration in your application for admission.
Wrt GP - looks like they have to take this as a private candidate.[/color] -

To add on,
Do private candidates need to do PW?
for \"private\" candidates who are taking A-level exam,
example,
for some Polytechnic students who are actually not that keen in their current allocated given assigned \"dumping ground\" Diploma course inside the Polytechnic, because to end up in a Poly wasn't even their choice in the first case but somehow still got ended up in a Poly by circumstances,
E.g.
Scored beyond 20 points, in their L1R5
they can only take \"General Paper\", but not PW
because
there are a few tuition centre that do teach GP in Singapore, but not sure whether there are any tuition centre that teach PW ?
If have,
which are some of these named tuition Center, that teach PW ?
PW is taught in only
( A-level JCs + IB (ACSI / SJI),
but not in any tuition centre? -

Without H1 MTL:-
UAS = 3 H2 + 1 H1 + H1 GP + H1 PW
With H1 MTL:-
[(3 H2 + 1 H1 + H1 GP + H1 PW + H1 MTL) / 100] x 90
The higher score (with or without MTL) will be the student's University Admission Score (UAS). -

no difference, between (A1 and A2)
How about any difference, between B3 and A1 ?
Is there an official hyperlink somewhere ,
that provide the detailed break down for O-level (Higher Chinese) score, for local university admission,
for
- A1 and A2 (O-level HCL),
- B3 and B4 (O-level HCL),
- C5 and C6 (O-level HCL) ?
Thank you -

Thank you[/quote]It follows the same allocation as A Level H1 subject, i.e.,
A 10
B 8.75
C 7.5
I am sure that A1 or A2 is 10 points.
Not sure about the rest but most likely the reference will be as follow:-
A 70% and above --> (O Level A1 and A2)
B 60% to 69% --> (O Level B3 and B4)
C 55% to 59% --> (O Level C5)

Strangely enough, I can't find the UAS calculation info on the NUS or NTU websites! Not sure why as I'm sure I've read it there before. This is one I found on another website, which seems correct. For O level grades, A1/2 will be regarded as A, B3/4 regarded as B, etc.

Other info about using MTL grades:
https://www.askadmissions.nus.edu.sg/app/answers/detail/a_id/19/kw/mtl
How would I know if it is to my advantage to provide my MTL results?
The University will consider applicants for university admission based on two sets of results - one with MTL grade and one without MTL grade. The set of better results will then be taken into consideration by the Admissions Selection Committee.
Students using the Online Application Form Type I will notice that their best MTL results (if provided by MOE) will be reflected on the form. If the best MTL result is not reflected on the form, you should indicate the amendments on the online form (click here for \"Instructions for completing Online Application Form Type I\" and details on \"Submission of MTL Results\").
Students using the Online Application Form II will have to indicate their MTL results.

How can I apply for admission to NUS under the Mother Tongue Language Bonus Points (MTLBP) scheme?
If you have done well in your Mother Tongue Language (MTL) or Mother Tongue Language & Literature (MTLL) subject (Chinese, Malay or Tamil) taken at the Singapore Cambridge GCE 'A' Level examination, you will be eligible to use the MTL Bonus Points (MTLBP) for admission to the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. More information on using MTLBP for university admission can be found on http://www.nus.edu.sg/oam/apply-to-nus/when-you-apply/mtl-related-courses. -

You can just go to the Admissions pages of the NUS/NTU websites.

since son has poly qualifications, it’s really pointless to go backwards to take A levels.
furthermore with uncertainty of NS book out, guard duty and lab work…it doesn’t quite make sense.
he took pure bio in secondary school and bio medical in poly. medicine is a competitive course. will see how it goes when he is done with NS in 2022.
