Good point mentioned here. The 4th H subject is optional or compulsory to take for A level exam in 2025 is not clearly explained yet. If it only required 3H2s subjects to go university, it is certainly good news and a better option than going polytechnic.
My impression is:
-This applies to 2026 uni admission which means 2025 A level candidates ie 2024 JC1 onwards
-there is no need to do a 4th content-based subject at all ( no need to even think about the 4th as H1…in fact probably means H1 content based subject is not offered anymore)
But as usual, bc potentially it can improve your overall RP if counted, many kiasu schools and parents will still do the 4th subject la. -
An important point to note for parents with children born in 2011 and after 2011.
If your child has intention to go JC in future, please ensure your child passes PSLE and get offered G3 subjects. It seemed that those offering G3 subjects get a better chance to select their preferred subject combinations in JC than those who did G2 subjects in secondary. My own thinking. 😅 Correct me if I’m wrong.

Like last time when we needed only 3 A levels subjects but many would do 4, to have options.
But as usual, bc potentially it can improve your overall RP if counted, many kiasu schools and parents will still do the 4th subject la. -
If only take 3H2, still need constrasting subject?
But agree that most will still think taking 4H2 is safer, but really need to weigh against the time needed.
To differentiate, more will want to take H3?? -

It is similar to how UAS score is rebased using Mother Tongue currently. If a student scores UAS 90, there is no need to include Mother Tongue for UAS calculation. If the score is below UAS 90, they can rebase using Mother Tongue and use the higher of the 2 scores (UAS with and without Mother Tongue). You can use online UAS calculator to see the scores.
Under the new system, the fourth content-based subject will only be counted for university admissions if it improves a candidate’s score.
What does it mean ? How will it be determined how much it is worth to be counted or not to be counted?
So for the new system, if a student scores UAS 70, there is no need to include the 4th content subject for UAS calculation. -
Why don’t moe implement for this year jc1 batch hahaha……
What happens to this batch who needs to repeat A level? The 4th H1 which is the contrasting subject then how? -
If I am a 2005 or 2006 boy, if I apply for university in 2026 together with the 2007 kids, the RP computation would be under the 70 point and not 90 point system right?
