      Maximum only 4 points discount , regardless you are affiliated or not.

      If affiliated, you get 11 points, you can kiss goodbye to enter NYJc. 11 ~ 4 = 7 points

      7 points cannot enter.

      Target 10 points to get 4 discount points for non-affiliated but I expect the cutoff point to lower by a point in 1 or 2 years time. So better aim for 9 points for O levels. 9 - 4 = 5
      think amongst students who are born in year (2005, 2006, 2007), the most competitive batch amongst these 3 group, are the piggies (born 2007). Thus, if the piggies batch were to take O-level in year 2023 and the Cut off point for 2024 Nanyang JC1admission by then is lowered, won't be surprised.
      Hence, whether student is affliated from Chung Cheng (High or Yishun branch) or not, if they target original Raw score 9 points or better for L1R5, the chance to study in NYJC is still there, but not target 10 points, a bit risky. 9 - 4 = 5, still can enter NYJC, assuming that COP is lowered from 6 (Y 2021), to 5 (in year 2024), this highly, extremely competitive piggies batch (born 2007)

        Don't need to wait till 2024. Last year, one member said her friend's child got 10-4 but didn't manage to get into NYJC. Hence, if you are targeting NYJC, to have a peace of mind, you should get net 5. This applies even today.

        Go and read the HCI thread. Someone with net 4 didn't get into HCI even though the COP is 4. To get a peace of mind, a student targeting HCI should get net 3.

          Thanks phtthp for the detailed explanation.

          I still see taking HMT as an added advantage as the child has up to 2.5 h of free periods in JC and not need to study Chinese anymore, having cleared both MT and HMT at O levels. It’s like killing 2 birds with 1 stone. Any amount of free time is useful to catch up on completing school homework and those JC students who have taken HMT in secondary schools before will have an edge over others in JC as they have 1 less A levels subject to tackle during exam and can focus their time on other A levels core subjects.
          Hi sembgal,

          Yes, fully agree with you !

          Based on MOE requirements, as long as a student have achieved D7 or better in his (her) O-level (Higher Mother tongue) at the end of Year 4, when the pupil move up to JC1, student no need to do H1 Chinese, anymore. This free up a lot of precious, valuable time, for the pupil

          to concentrate / focus on other core, important A-level H2 subjects (eg. H2 Maths, Chemistry / Physics / Bio or other Humanities) plus H1 General Paper.


          On the other hand,
          what if students scored (B4, C5, C6 or D7) in their O-level (HCL), and feel that since his (her) results are not good enough, wish to take H1 (Chinese) in JC1, so as to improve their points, for university admission entry ? During one of the open house attended last time pre-covid days, someone posted this question to an IP-JC Chinese HOD, and the HOD replied that it is not necessary to do this

            Hihi,

            I am parent of a P6 child.

            My child is torn between AHS and CCHM.

            The advantage of CCHM is that it has affliation to NYJC while AHS is affliation to SAJC. But AHS is much nearer to our house as compared to CCHM. May I know if anyone here knows the % of CCHM students making it to NYJC?

            The most recent 2021 Cut-off-Point for Nanyang JC (Science) is 6

            vs.

            COP for St Andrew JC (Science), at 10.

            There is a difference of 4 points, quite big !

            Thus, the affliation \"insurance safety net, is safer\" to go Anglican High (affliated to St Andrew JC), than to go Chung Cheng High (affliated to Nanyang JC),

            unless

            your child's L1R5 Raw score clinched ( 9 to 10) points or better, at Chung Cheng High (Main / Yishun) O-level exam, then can go back to his (her) Affliated Nanyang JC ,

            because

            If a CCHM Sec 4 student score 11 points, although 11 is a pretty good Raw score, unfortunately,

            disappointedly, student still cannot go back to his (her) Affliated NYJC anymore, pupil sadly have to go elsewhere.

            Moreover , you mentioned that Anglican High is near your house, so is another great, important added advantage, so convenient ! Nothing beats staying nearby a school, travelling to and fro everyday. Unless you are eyeing or targeting on some special Talent Development programme that is only found in Chung Cheng High, but not available in Anglican High, which your child desired very much, then is a different story

              your child is confident of scoring L1R5 Raw score ( 9 to 10) points or better, at Chung Cheng High (Main / Yishun) O-level exam .

              Yes, you brought up a good point!

              Same goes for ACJC, CJC too for those affiliated secondary schools. If the children cannot get into NYJC, they have affiliated JCs with higher cut off points to fall back on.

                Greetings to all parents and students! This is my first post in nearly ten years! Can anyone help to direct me to the appropriate channel/resource for an application by a child who has studied in public schools in China (more specifically Shanghai) all her life, and is hoping to apply to NYJC, among others, to pursue CLEP? Would expect her to sail through the rigors of study but any additional information would be of great help. Thanks in advance!

                  Yes, of course sembgal !

                  Having one subject (Chinese) lesser (fewer) to study at Junior Colleges, certainly does help a lot ! Makes a great deal of difference ! JC (1 and 2) students have much more time available on-hand, to focus & concentrate on other A-level subjects instead !


                  This explains why after PSLE,
                  when P6 students did not receive from MOE the eligible, qualifying letter allowing them to study Higher Chinese in Sec 1 onwards, in O-level track Secondary schools,
                  never mind, is all right.

                  Sec 1 students can still work hard in their Chinese and
                  at the end of Sec 1 year-end (November),

                  if they can perform well in (Chinese + other essential, core Sec 1 subjects),

                  Not just perform well in a single subject Chinese alone only,

                  students can still get the chance to start learning HCL from Sec 2 onwards, and can still be on their way to clear HCL by the end of their Sec 4 (O-level). No need to do anymore Chinese subject in Junior Colleges, if pupils are able to score minimum at least a D7,
                  in HCL (at O-level).


                  Question

                  How well, is well enough then, to be able to start learning HCL from Sec 2, for PSLE students who did not obtain from MOE that eligible, qualifying letter ?

                  Once Sec 1 students embark on their new journey into a Secondary school, they can approach their school's Chinese HOD on their own initiative,

                  find out
                  what's their own school's promotional year-end criteria at end of Sec 1, to be able to start Sec 2 HCL,

                  because

                  every Secondary school's HCL requirement(s) differ !


                  The only exceptional Secondary schools that waived & overide this PSLE qualifying HCL eligible letter are

                  - Chung Cheng High (Main), which is a SAP school
                  because
                  their Chinese Department allow all enrolled Sec 1 students to study HCL


                  And


                  - Maris Stella High probably, also waived ?

                  (Please help to confirm on Maris Stella High Sec 1 HCL status, whether MS overide MOE HCL requirements, or not. Thank you )

                    Regarding CLEP,
                    can you give a call to Nanyang Junior College, ask to speak to the Chinese HOD ?
                    The Officer-in-charge will answer all the burning questions that you have posed above.

                    Alternately, you may email your questions to NYJC.

                    What's NYJC telephone number or email address ?

                    Is here
                    https://nanyangjc.moe.edu.sg/home/contact-us/

                    You can email to :-

                    Ms Tan Choon Yan (HOD, Chinese),

                    all your queries.

                      Nanyang JC is related to Nanyang Girls’ High School? They share the same "Nanyang". If NYGH girls went into Nanyang JC, then it can be same league as HCI and RI.

                        Going by your argument, does it mean:

                        Nanyang Kindergarten - > Nanyang Primary - > Nanyang Girls High - > Nanyang JC - > Nanyang Technological University?

                        It doesn't work like that.
