Hi parents,


I am worried about my son who is going to EJC next time. The A level results for EJC not so good compared to those top JC. Hope EJC can impove in the future.

I think you have to be a little more 'precise' in your comparison. What is 'not so good' mean? If your expectation is for EJC to match up with RI or HCI (top JC), I am afraid you are going to be very disappointed. However, if you are comparing with VJC, NYJC etc, I think the most recent results are encouraging for a young school.

Hi parents,

My boy is currently in CHS Y4. Can you all enlighten me about the subject combinations for Y5 in EJC? Is there a minimum criteria to achieve for Maths or Sci subject in order to stay within the Sci stream in Y5 and eventually take A levels?

Thanks!

Does your son have CHS student diary / manual handbook ?

Ask your son to refer there.


For St Nick,
all promotional Y4 criteria into Y5, are clearly stated inside the students’ diary / handbook.

E.g.

What minimum grade must be acquired at the end of Y4 EOY exam, before one can do Y5 H2 Physics (A-level)

You can Google Y5 subject combination yourself, at EJC school website,

Because

This type of common info available, not only your son (IP) need, but O-level candidates applying for EJC Year 1, will also need as well.

Why ?

Because

Subject combination JC1, is common, to all (IP and JAE) students, alike

The subject combination and prerequisite can be found on the school website. But if you have specific questions, you can email the school. I have found them to be very open about answering academic subject related questions. And asking the school is definitely most accurate too.

We only realised subsequently when we looked into EJC website. This wasn’t comms to us before and as a first-time parent, I wasn’t aware either. For Sci stream, Chem seems to be a compulsory subject. If the student does not meet the minimum criteria for a particular subject, any idea if appeal is possible? Thanks all in advance for the sharing.

You can do double maths and physics in S3, or just physics and maths in S5. Chemistry is not compulsory.

I studied in EJC as a JAE student and was from the class of 2020. The IP-JAE divide is definitely true and it was quite bad back then. I’m not sure how bad it is currently but I think that this problem exist across all the IPJCs. I can only speak from my experience so I would say that I was fortunate to have made really good friends in my class. But I’ve also seen worse IP-JAE divides in other classes. Ultimately, the aim of going to a JC is to study hard and do well for A levels, not chasing after popularity and make 200 friends. I mean, it certainly helps to make many new friends in JC as a form of social support but at the end of the day when you graduate from JC there are only a few people you’ll still stick around with. If I remember correctly, the school has been doing something about it and has toned down the IP orientation significantly so I guess it might not be so bad in the future. As for the A level results, it is quite unfair to generalise the whole IP cohort as pulling up the mean/median UAS while the JAE pulls down the mean/median UAS.

From what I’ve observed from my friends/classmates, my IP friends learn things faster (some of them work even harder) but there are also some who lacks the discipline to sit down and study. As for the JAEs, we may not learn as fast but many of us still works equally hard, if not harder than the IPs because we know we’re coming from less, so we have to do more. Nevertheless, this didn’t really matter towards prelim the school have already challenged us to the absolute core and everyone’s just struggling and was fighting for their life. I still believe a large proportion of JAE students do well too, we’ve went through O level to fight for the remaining seats left in this JC and of course we are more experienced with national exam conditions. Though I am a JAE who did worse than my IP counterparts in JC1, I worked really hard in JC2, still managed to score 90RP and have earned a spot in NUS YLLsoM.
