It was a lot simpler during my time too. I was from the stone age too.

How come your stone age different fom my stone age huh?
I remember that in my dinosaur time, the requirements were similar to now. Not much simpler leh. I didn't need to take CL as an AO subject in JC since I took HCL in O levels. My classmates who didn't take HCL in secondary school had to pass CL (as AO subject) to qualify for local universities.

Just a note. NUS admissions now requires a minimum of D7 for HCL at O levels. So... don't need to pass?? :? C6 is still the passing grade right?

Also, you can be admitted, on a provisional basis, even if you don't meet the MTL requirement, apparently. You just have to retake the MT paper at A levels before you can graduate.
Take a look at:

Now that i think about it, i recall that some years back, there was an outcry about how 'unfair' it was to deny kids entry to local universities just because they failed MT. Think the bar has been lowered at that time. Anyone remembers this, or have I been hallucinating...

My dinosaur probably more ancient than yours. :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: Or maybe not. My time, if you score D7 you can still gain admission to NUS but will be subject to Chinese camp during the holidays.

cayenne, i'm from the same era as you i think. cos i remember it was the case for me as well.

for my friends who got D7 and still got into NUS on provisional grounds, they had to attend chinese camp and chinese classes to fulfill the MTL requirement in NUS. although my friend said it was very fun, it still took up a lot of time. so best to clear chinese before Uni/ before JC.

this is not that ancient. H1, 2, 3 came into effect in 2006 only la.

think of H3 as our former S papers. and H1 as AO level subjects while H2 are the core, normal subjects in the past.

Wah... still have to study for A level subject in addition to uni modules... Where got so much time on top of lectures, tutorials, hostel activities, and pak-tor...
So the moral is to meet the requirement as early as possible!
