      actually can get max 6 bonus points, if you take some LEP or something like that. but it is quite difficult so most are happy with 4 bonus points.
      U mean can minus max 6 points ? L1R5 becomes zero ?

      I tot max deduction is only 4 points ?

        2. Students are given 2 bonus points if they have a pass in Higher Mother Tongue Language, and another 2 points if their Secondary Schools are affiliated to the JCs that they are applying for, or they have been provisionally admitted to the JC. Students are also given 1 to 2 bonus points based on their CCA performance. Normally, the maximum bonus points allowable are 4 points. However, students applying to Hwa Chong JC, Nanyang JC and Temasek JC for their Chinese LEP program can enjoy additional 2 bonus points. These students are therefore allowed up to a maximum of 6 bonus points.

          You can get L1R5 of 0 if you enrol in Malay Language Elective Program which is offered in Tampines JC and not sure where else, or Chinese Language Elective Program offered in HCI and some other JC.


          This table shows the possible bonus points one can get.

                An outdated post but gives a brief writeup of LEP nevertheless. Think now also have Malay LEP

                Background on Language Elective Programme (Chinese)

                7. The LEP(C) was first implemented in 1990. It aims at nurturing the language talent of students who have an aptitude for CL so that they can attain a higher level of proficiency and a better understanding of Chinese Language and Literature. It also allows academically able students to become effectively bilingual so as to better serve the nation.

                8. The LEP(C) is a two-year programme which prepares students for the GCE ‘A’ Level Higher Chinese (HCL) with the option to offer HCL Special Paper. The course includes the study of classical and modern literature (poetry, prose, novels, and drama) and Chinese culture.

                9. The LEP(C) provides a wide range of activities to enhance writing skills and a greater interest in the learning of CL. The activities include:

                · Overseas immersion programmes
                · Creative writing camps
                · Publication of literary works
                · Project work
                · Visits to exhibitions and places of interest
                · Talks, forums and discussions with Chinese writers

                10. Students who wish to apply must have good results, both in CL-related subjects and overall, in their Secondary 4 preliminary examination/GCE ‘O’ Level examination. Students selected for the LEP(C) are granted two bonus points for admission to junior college.

                11. Outstanding students selected for LEP(C) are considered for the Language Elective Scholarships (Chinese) if they are Singapore citizens, Singapore permanent residents or children of Singapore citizens.

                12. The first two LEP(C) Centres in Hwa Chong Junior College and Temasek Junior College were set up in 1989. The third LEP(C) Centre was set up at Nanyang Junior College in 1999.
