The too-few students problem seems to happen for almost every Arts subject every year. PCME-BCME will always seem to be the in-demand vanilla combination.
Sorry, no more notes etc. She took her A levels in 2016. Yes, MI is the only school which offers MOB. I think most students who are interested in Commerce/Business at this level tend to go to polys now rather than take A levels.
My daughter was in Arts stream (H2-Lit, Geog, MOB; H1-Maths), and took MOB as her 3rd H2 because she didn't want to take Econs, which would have been the more usual choice. Commerce stream students usually take H2-MOB, Accounts, Econs; H1-Maths.
There are 2 papers, with a case study/data response in each, some short questions, and one essay in Paper 2.
There are too few students for publishers to print the 10-yr series, but the teachers will give sample papers for practice. The recommended textbook was:
P Stimpson and A Farquharson, Cambridge International AS & A Level Business Studies Coursebook, 2nd edition, 2010, Cambridge University Press, ISBN 9780521126564.
I think they specially ordered the books for the students. If you look at the SEAB document I linked to earlier, there is more info, and a list of resources at the end.
Hope this helps. -

For SG citizen(s)
who are keen to study 3-years A-level programme at MI, at school fees in this year 2024 at $33 charged per month,
Total fees charged for the entire 3-years A-level programe, is around
sgd $ (33 x 12 months x 3 years), …
sgd $1, 200.
However,
the location of MI is at Bukit Batok. So, if u happen to stay extremely far, say.
Eg.
staying in Tampines or in Pasir Ris (extreme East),
u may consider renting a one bedroom, much closer towards Bukit Batok.
Otherwise, the travelling up and down, to and fro 2 ways,
from Pasir Ris / Tampines to Bukit Batok everyday,
from Monday to Friday,
and vice versa,
is going to make you, very tired.
Because
there is no hostel, no boarding school, inside MI. And you are going to travel to and Fro, up and down, study not 2 years, but 3 years for your A-level, in MI. -

Still a lot cheaper than Poly right? Assuming the child is still undecided on which career.

Based on current year 2024 -
Still a lot cheaper than Poly right? Assuming the child is still undecided on which career.[/quote]
( because every year, school fees increased)
1) for Singapore citizen(s) :-
studying 3 years A-level at MI, is definitely MUCH cheaper than studying the same equivalent 3-years Polytechnic Diploma.
Because
for SG citizen(s) :-
this 3 years MI programme costs Total around sgd $1200,
whereas in stark contrast,
the same number of 3 years Polytechnic Diploma will cost you ...
sgd $3086.50 per year x 3 years, equal around
sgd $ 9, 300 (for Total 3 years, inside a Polytechnic )
So, how much difference is it ?
Take
$ (9, 300 subtract away 1, 200) equal to a difference of
sgd $ 8, 100
2) however for PRs, will be the other way round, instead.
Based on this year, 2024 -
A) at MI,
MI school fees charged for PRs, is
$ 667, per month.
One year (PR) MI school fees is
$ 667 x 12 months, equal to
$ 8,004, per academic year.
If multiply by 3 academic years since MI is a 3-year A-level course, will be ...
sgd $24, 000 (for 3 years).

B) at a Polytechnic in Singapore,
Example
=======
say, at Republic Polytechnic,
Polytechnic school fees charged for PRs is
sgd $ 6,300, per Academic year.
Total, 3 years' of school fees charged at Republic Polytechnic, will be
6,300 x 3 years, equal to
sgd $ 19, 000
Both MI & Republic Poly, are 3 years programme.
That means, for PRs -
the 3-years MI (A-level) is far more expensive than
3-years Republic Polytechnic school fees charged.

=========================
Thus,
this explains why,
if my 17 year old child (son / daughter) is a Malaysian PR, it makes sense for my child to \"balik rumah\" (go back home) and prepare for A-level National exam in Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur or Penang) exam centre.
Benefits (Advantages) ?
==================
1) if take A-level in Malaysia, no need to take GP (General Paper). See, one H1 subject already down, lesser to study.
In Singapore A-level, H1 GP subject is compulsory.
2) A-level in Malaysia -
is only a 2 year programme, not a 3 year MI programme. In some Malaysian Institution, better still, they cut down A-level preparation even shorter, to
1.5 years
Instead of 2 years.

For Junior Colleges (A-level) :-
Poly around 3k a year. How much is JC? Also around $30/mth?
1) if study in an Independent educational Institution of Higher learning like, for example,
- Raffles Institution
- Hwa Chong
- ACSI (IB)
- SJI (IB)
A) independent school fees charged, is around sgd $ (300 to 600), per month.
B) However, if you happen to fall within the Top 5 % of the entire National exam O-level cohort (several thousands of Sec 4 students), obtain ESIS scholarship,
then
your school fees studying inside these 4 Independent schools, will be waived. That is (in other words), u can study your Year 5 and Year 6 free of charge, in these Independent IB / A-level Institution(s).
How to know, whether you qualify or fall within the Top 5 % of your entire National exam O-level cohort sat for ?
Answer.
When you look at your \"Form A\" when you collect your O-level results that very day, at the bottom of \"Form A\", they will tell you.
2) if is a government or a govt-aided Junior College (Non independent), like
(Nanyang / Eunoia / National / Victoria / Temasek / Dunman High / River Valley High / Anderson-Serangoon / Tampines-Meridien / Yishun-Innova / Jurong-Pioneer / Catholic / Anglo Chinese / St Andrew) Junior Colleges,
then,
school fees is $33, per month.
The 2 years A-level in these named Junior Colleges, will cost
$ 33 x 12 months (in one year) x 2 years, equal to ...
sgd $ 1, 188
(for SG citizenship, only). -
Thanks!

On 1 February 2024 (coming soon)
9 am,
MOE will send sms to your hp, inform you of your JC / Poly / MI posting news (outcome).
If for some reasons, u failed to enter MI because u missed the Cut off point, can appeal quickly.
Based on past few years’ batches, usually, there are still some vacancies left, in MI. That is, provided you are really keen, in pursuing this 3 year A-level MI course, instead of going to Poly.
