https://www.moe.gov.sg/post-secondary/admissions/jae/explore-pathways-and-understand-posting-process/how-posting-works

From the way i read it, choice order does not matter. It remains old system (not new system like current S1 posting):

We are new to post O level posting selection too. Also read it as you did but weren't sure. Hence seeking confirmation.

Hi,


my child is keen in sci stream and his score is 6. we stay in the north and prefer to save on travelling. but choices seems limited for we are looking at JC in the north.

the ones he is keen is nyjc and ejc as they are nearer to our place. asjc has moved to north east. but his score cannot meet nyjc cop and just met ejc cop. heard its very competitive this year. may or mat not be able to get into these 2 JC.

what other choices can i choose? any advise?

You can refer to last year 2023 Cut off point, into various JCs. All JAE 2024 batch can refer that online booklet, to check. Inside the booklet MOE already published clearly, what is the Cut off point, for each JC -


for both Science stream And Arts stream.

With nett 6,
your son can still try Eunoia Junior College. Try, because this year (2024), Cut off point into Eunoia JC (Science stream) : may or may not remain at nett 6. Therefore, your son must cast his fishing net wider, into the ocean.

Your son can also try

National Junior College (Science stream), or try

Anderson Serangoon Junior College (Science stream)

As for the remaining other choices left, to fill up your Form A, to be submitted by

next Tuesday 4 pm dateline,

u will need to refer to the online booklet. Inside contains a very detailed listing of

last year 2023 Cut off point, for each individual JC. Everything is all there. You can see for yourself.

Distance wise, u need to resolve yourself.

Example

Perhaps,
you can rent out your current flat for monthly income
and

in turn rent another place for a short period of next 2 years, to be closer towards your JC.

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

Alternatively,

With nett 6 points, you can also consider IB (SJI). That is, if your son is keen (interested) in IB.

Today Saturday (13 January), there is IB (SJI) open house. Principal talk (IB SJI) is at 9.30 am. Do not miss P talk, for those keen on IB (SJI).

For JAE students who are applying into INDEPENDENT Junior Colleges like (RI, Hwa Chong),


you can refer to your Form A.

Inside this form,
if you qualify for ESIS scholarship, that is,

if you fall

within Top 5% of the entire

2023 Sec 4 cohort,
who have sat for the O-level exam, it will be stated inside this Form.

[phtthp]

The posting of JAE students, into the various Junior Colleges, is based upon your " NET " L1R5 score.

Not based upon your original, Raw score.

Example

For Eunoia Junior College whose Cut off point was Net 6 points (L1R5) for
Science stream,

in last year 2023 O-level batch (born in year 2006) -

JAE students with original Raw 6 points will be posted into Eunoia Junior College first,
before

those JAE students with (7 - 1 for Cca point) : who in turn, will enter EJC first, before

students with (8 - 2 for Cca points), etc.

In other words,
the lower or the better your original Raw (L1R5) score is, you will go in first, before others.

Not everyone get 2 points for Cca.
Some JAE students only get 1 point, for their Cca discounted (offset).

[phtthp]

All 2024 JAE students (born 2007), please check your own personal email, that you have received your Form A.


If u cannot see it in your email, check your "Spam" mail, in case enter there accidentally.

If something is wrong with your email, u did not receive your Form A, kindly contact your Form Teacher immediately.

Dateline, to submit your listing of choices to MOE is, next Tues
4 pm.

I’m curious, with many JCs having their lectures online nowadays, do the students still need to report to school for daily assembly? Or can they turn up just in time for their tutorial sessions (like how it is in poly and uni)?

[Lenny08]

For RI, yes, u still need to report for school daily assembly except on wed cos its a gap day. Lectures are all pre- recorded so you can watch anytime.ie lectures are not schedule on the time table.
