What is L1R5?

xxjustakidxx:

CLEP provides you with 2 extra bonus score, which can add up to 6 when applying for Junior colleges.

Look under \"bonus points section\"

ok. got it. based on O level result, to do CLEP at JC, not for sec 1

however, those who are under the bicultural program at sec 1/sec 3 will not need that extra bonus points since they are already in the 3 IP schools (HCI/NYGH/DHS)

[xxjustakidxx]

But HCI offers LEP @ sec level (I’m in). DHS as well.

L1R5:


L1 - first language (English or Higher Mother Tongue. Not necessary EL Only. But EL def needs to pass if using the grade for HMT)

R5 0 Relevant 5 (must include 1 Math, 1 Sci, 1 Hum + 2 best subj)

Just to share. Useful http://www.chungchenghighyishun.moe.edu.sg/cos/o.x?c=/wbn/pagetree&func=view&rid=78553 on the calculations of L1R5 for entry to JC.

The R5 \"Relevant 5 subjects\" must include:


one science/maths subject
one humanities subject
one science/maths or humanities subject
any other two subjects

So one can score very well in all his maths and science subjects but if he gets a bad grade in his humanities subject, he must still include it in the L1R5 computation

I found above on one of the KiasuParent forum. what about Students good in humanities & have been advices to drop A-maths, Physics.

Assuming they score ok in E-maths & uses it against \"one Maths/Science subject' , then can Mother tounge can be used against 'One Science/Maths or humanities subject' .

Not to my knowledge, no.


For arts students, R5 would be 1 science/math, 2 humanities and 2 others. For science students, it would be 1 science, 1 math, 1 humanities, 2 others. Mother tongue would count under 2 others, if HMT is not used as L1.

Thank you. was looking for this exact answer.

Assuming science scores are not usable, what would be art student '2 others' subjects(most likely Mother Tounge will be one)

'Arts' ? , Econmics? , D & T ?, Home Econs?, Third Language?
