GCE O level result release on 9 Jan

[Jinlol]

Hey all could I check with y'all something?

If my HCL (higher chinese) has been counted in my L1, would I still get my 2 bonus point from passing higher chinese? (not the cca points) 'coz I heard from someone that if my HCL was taken in for L1, I would not get the bonus points. Hope someone could kindly clarify this

Thanks in advance :D~

hahaha...for my this son, I don't need him to get results good enough for local uni. My plan all this while is to send him overseas and so he just need to get something like an average B will be more than enough to please me... Average B from poly can give him advance standing in an overseas uni and so I don't need him to compete till face green green with all the kids in our so competitive universities...

That's good to know. At least the pressure can be eased off and ur ds can really enjoy his poly life. Less regimented than JC life.

Getting Bs is not impossible in the poly as long as one remains focused and adopt a positive mindset. It's also very impt that ds enjoys the course that he is doing.

I don't think HCL can be taken as the L1 since Eng is a compulsory language? (I am not so sure about this but from what I understand, can only compute 1 language subject into the score, meaning if both language also A1, can only take one of them. Anyone can confirm this? Maybe there's a difference in requirements pertaining to entry to JC and polys...).

There's nothing too difficult about the results slip to understand. L1R5 is for JC entry. L1R4 is for poly. Then they specified all the course codes that your child is eligible for.

And if applying to preuniversity institute - can also use the CCA grade in computation of the aggregate points!

If you need further clarification, do read the FAQ on MOE's website:

I was pondering why my son's L1R5 is not 18 but 19 (his Chinese is a C5 but Humanities is a C6) coz if taking Chinese of 5 with his the other 5 subjects, it should be an 18.

My daughter said can only take 1 language and so once english is in it, chinese cannot be in it and so the computation excluded Chinese and took the Humanities.

I guess you have to specifically put a humanities subject in the computation, eg. geog, history, eng-literature, social studies, etc.

You are still eligible for the 2 bonus points.

My Niece got 9 points for her L1R5 (after deduction of CCA). Which JC would be good for her? Her school have an affiliation to Anglo Chinese JC which gives her an additional 2 points off. Is ASJC a good choice?

[phankao]

There are 12 choices to put in - have to fill in all 12, ah? I mean, 3 or even 5 is tough enough, but 12?! If not, then put the rest blank?

[quote]Crescent girls has the most top students with 9 A1s.

Looking at the names, maybe 8 out of 9 Chinese top scorers from Crescent Girls are from China......[/quote]Impressed with their determination and effort to do well for their English. Read today's report on how they started with writing 1 essay and do 1 compre passage daily in Sec 3 and then increased to 2 daily in Sec 4, just to do well in the subject. If my kids can just do 1 or 2 weekly, on their own accord, I will be very happy

Self motivation, determination and independent study, all crucial factors to do well.

From the above information, her nett score should be 9-2=7. She needs around 6 to get in. She needs to appeal.

ACJC is famed for its GP results and have been consistently among the top four performers. This jc also has a MOE based humanities programme and is better known for its arts courses.

She may opt for it and place Anderson jc as her 2nd choice. The latter is known for its science programme.
