INNOVATE:
Yes, i looked at the websites and the booklet. Not very informative to me. What is silver, bronze value-add, and the the top jcs don't even have any value-add awards!phankao
I am afraid that not many jcs actually publish their recent years results on their websites. You can only watchout for their annual annoucement, open house and information gathered directly from the schools and students.
Towards the end of sec 4/5, all 0-level candiates are issued with a jae booklet published by MOE to guide parents/students in choosing jc/poly/ite. Any value award is clearly spelt out though no details are provided. -

So Anderson is good for Science? My dd wanted to choose Anderson until her co-worker (ex-acjc) told her the teachers are not good(?!). But acjc is not one of our top choices bc of distance. So...acjc not so great for science?INNOVATE:
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.
What do you know?
Information has to be gathered directly from the right sources and not base on hearsay, advices or peer pressure. This is the discipline i always uphold just like in financial investment an investor cannot simply rely on advisory services providers or recommendations from financial advisors. One must get the facts right. Same as in education.
ACJC is better knowm for its humanities programme and is not weak in science either. Its just that comparing to AJC, the latter is known for producing consistently good tack record in science courses in particular math and physics. At the top end of tier 2 jc level, that particular instituition cannot be weak in either science or arts, otherwise they should not be at this level.
All top schools have their fair share of not so stellar teachers as well. -

What will be your advice to parents when Sec2-End subject choices are offered based result. My DD school has seminar on Feb-mid & looks like what you decide by this year end will have impact all the way to Uni!phankao:

When choosing subject combination at end sec2/yr2, parents/students need to consider their aptitude and interest. There’s no need to be sure of one’s career choice at such a relatively young age because situation always changes.
The following subjects provide the versatility and flexibility in pursuing 95% of all uni courses:
English
MT/HMT
E Math
A Math
Physic
Chemistry
Combine humanities
A pure humanities subject
8-subject combination is recommended for high ability students who aspire to do well in their respective ccas. Triple science is only applicable to top students.
Many HCI/RI science students opt for business courses each year at unis. -

Thank you Innovate. I guess we are down to a decision whether combined science or Phy/Chem. If combined science , the humanity subjects need to choose very carefully... one that interestsDadofGirl

Yes, I am of the opinion that at that juncture, it should really be aptitude and interest. No point planning so far ahead to what career the child wants to do in the future, bc if he/she takes subjects that he cannot fully excel in, then what's the point?

More important to just focus on what he/she is best at. -

Congrats!24by7mum:
My nephew has nett score of 2 (6-2-2). He wants to try RIJC/HCI. How are his chances? He has 8A1s and 1A2 for HCL. Thanks!
Congrats!
This one is a shoot-in!
Which secondary school is your nephew from? -
Someone told me that he had "o" point. Is it possible ?
That means 6 points minus 2 points for CCA, 2 points for Higher Chinese and 2 points for affiliation ? -

I believe you can only deduct maximum 4 bonus points. So even if you have 2 bonus points for CCA, 2 for HCL, 2 for affiliation, your aggregate is still 2. Can only deduct max 4 points.Someone told me that he had \"o\" point. Is it possible ?

'if you really want to know, check the moe website on JAE and bonus points.
