Hi ejmom,


June school holiday, has started.

Perhaps,
you may also find out from your son, whether CCHM has given his class any 2022 Term 3 test (exam) dates ? (Because some schools have already issued out Term 3 test dates, before Term 2 ended yesterday)

If Yes,
he can prepare for it, earlier.

If No,
clarify with your son, since no Term 3 Physics test, then, is it being substituted by a group work project instead, working in group(s) of 2 to 4 students, called "Alternative" assessment ?

Because Term 3,
whether got tests or no test (do group work project instead), all these eventually will add up, contribute towards his final year end score.

Term 4, Yes, there will be a written end-of-year assessment.

============================

As for dropping subject, it will be up to the individual students, on their own initiative. School won’t ask students to drop subject.

2 timing to drop, if the student himself really decide to drop the subject :-

1) drop at end of Sec 3, after year end exam is over


Or


2) carry on learning the subject matter into Sec 4 (April).

Next year (2023) around mid-April, when SEAB ask you to sign the form indicating the Total number of O-level subjects to register for (sit for) at National exam, there & then, remove Physics out from your signed form, if need be. That means, you are not going to take O-level (Physics) exam.


However,
do this only after much very careful consideration from all angles, if going forward, you have clearly and firmly decided that your son not going to take any Engineering course, in the university in future. Otherwise, it is still better to take O-level (Physics). All the best to your son. Hope that he will persevere, fight on,
overcome, won’t drop. Is going to be a journey, give him lots of encouragement and always keep affirming him.

All 2022 Sec 4 students (born 2006),


if you are keen to go Nanyang Junior College (Science stream, A-level),

target to get minimum 9 points (Raw score) for your L1R5, or better,

Because

the Cut-off for Nanyang JC (Science stream) is 5 points (Nett),

- After deducting 2 points for clearing your Higher Chinese, and

- After deducting 2 points, for CCHM affliation to NYJC.

I read JC DSA intake vacancy will increase from 10% to 20%. Meaning less vacancies for JAE intake. Will it lower the COP ?

RJC science COP is 4. And I read some 4 pointers were ballot out from RJC. NYJC science COP of 5, would mean 5 pointers would undergo balloting too.

For above 2 reasons, 4 nett point would be safer for NYJC science?

I agree with you.

In recent years,
Nanyang JC Cut-off-point is getting lower & lower, meaning : much harder to get in. Yes, you are right. Safer to target 4 (nett) points, for Science stream (NYJC), because this year 2022 Sec 4 batch is very competitive, across thousands of 2006-born children ! Many Top students from other Secondary schools, are also eyeing Nanyang JC.

Also, if the Cut off is 5 points, risky. During computer balloting, if unlucky, can be balloted out at 5 (nett). Safer, to target 4 (nett).

Nanyang Junior College has come a long way. Many years ago, Cut-off-point (NYJC) was around 18 points. Today 2022, it is 5 points (nett). NYJC has improved a lot over, the years ! Besides offer flexible A-level subject combination, most important is behind the scene, they have a pool of very dedicated & caring Teachers.

anyone can advise for lower secondary, where do the kids go to for science tuition? TIA.

DS in Sec 3 triple science. Did really badly for Physics - failed in both WA1 and WA2. Will the school ask him to drop Physics?

here is \"Physics Matters\", a very good recommended Textbook, by \"Marshall Cavendish\". This text is available, in both hardcopy & via electronic form (soft copy).


The front cover picture look like this :-


https://www.amazon.sg/Physics-Matters-GCE-Level-4th/dp/B07CZV1WMY/ref=asc_df_B07CZV1WMY/?tag=sgsmrtphshopg-22&linkCode=df0&hvadid=404201474105&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=802463982926386091&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9062519&hvtargid=pla-850733601253&psc=1


However,
your son need to make his own notes. Making own notes, will facilitate himself during exam preparation, as it help him in revision. As his Sec 3 Physics class Teacher teaches a new topic (chapter), do encourage him to make his own notes consistently and underline the key concepts, as he read (revise) from this text.

Important -
also, ask him to note (jot) down into a notebook :-
those common Physics formulae often, frequently used / tested (come out) in exam (Term tests).

Hi all, may I know if there is any school bus/bus shuttle service for CCHM? Am currently living in Tampines and it would be nice to find one. If you know of any, kindly PM/reply me! All responses are appreciated, thanks in advance!!:)) :boogie:

You can see that

as the Cut-off-point (L1R5) for admission into affliated Nanyang Junior College gets lower and lower each batch, from COP (previously 6) now dropped to 5 (nett, L1R5) for Science stream,

more & more
Primary 6 PSLE students will target to enter CCHM, a much highly sought after school hot in demand today.

Today, nett is 5.

Going forward,
depending on to what extent or how competitive these O-level (2022 & 2023) batches are, those born in (2006 & 2007), it is possible that
Cut-off-point may go down even lower, from 5 to 4 (nett).

If you are a CCHM Sec 4 student from either of these two batches, means you can
target
your original Raw score to be 8, or better, if so desire to come back to NYJC, under \"affliation\" status.

Based on the sharing & past experience of 2019 PSLE batch, can read that thread, piggies (born in 2007) are extremely, highly competitive !

For this year current 2022 Sec 3 CCHM students,


1) how many are doing Pure Bio, and

2) how many are doing Pure Physics ?

[phtthp]

For Upper Sec ( 3 and 4) students

who do well in Pure Physics (6091),

what sort of Science talent development opportunities programme are there available inside CCHM, to further develop these selected group of students, groom their Physics exposure (talent) ?

[phtthp]

For Sec (3 and 4) students

who do well in Pure Chemistry (6092),

what sort of Science talent development opportunities programme are there available inside CCHM, to further develop these selected groups of students, to groom their Chemistry exposure (talent) ?
