Hi,


Anyone knows if you are not offered to study HMT in sec 4,

1) are u allow to take HMT as a private candidate?
2) if yes, will the result appear in one result slip or certificate if they are taking in the same year as other school subjects?

Thanks.

I think if you register as a school candidate, you cannot take the exams as a private candidate.

Hi mandymummy,

Thanks for your quick reply. This was what I told my ds1 yesterday. He suddenly asked me about the 2 bonus points he will miss if he do not have HMT. So far he did very well in his CL.

Regards.

Does he take third language? Or if he has any affiliation, he can still get 2 bonus points. Otherwise, it is indeed a disadvantage.

Hi twilight, there is no affiliation in his school and he also do not take a third language. He supposed to take malay but he did not take up earlier. His aim is to go to VJC but will be tough as he will need raw score of 6 points. Regards.

He is in sec3 this year. I don't think the school allow him to take HCL even though he got a A1 this year. If he is in sec2, it will be possible. But he only
managed to get a A2 last year. Anyway, I just sent a email to MOE last night. Will update after I got their reply. Thanks.

I hope the school and MOE will allow your son to take HCL, given his strong CL results. Good luck!

If he does get 4 points, I think he can appeal to the schools. RI and HCI do have places reserved for those without HMT who can only get lowest of 4 points. Not sure if VJC does. I would think they do though. Otherwise can try for DSA.

how to get just 4points? Can advise? Tq

[jtoh]

Herbie, I think twilight means the student gets straight As = 6 points; less 2 points for CCA = 4 points.
