All About A Levels
-
Hi! I'm currently torn between AJC and NYJC. I'm planning to do a hybrid combo too, but idk if I should take up lit in H1 as I did not take Lit at my O'levels. And I am also uncertain on which JC would more more suitable in supporting a hybrid course.
These are my results, PLEASE HELP!
EL - A1
EM - A1
Hist/SS - A1
Physics - A2
Chemistry - A2
AM - A2
Chinese - B4 (haha, my chinese has always been my achilles' heel)
L1R5: 9-2 = 7. -

Reply to u first as u are a senior member.Hi I wanted to tap on this thread.
My niece has 12 points nett and is thinking to choose either SRJC or TPJC?
Her house is 10 mins away from SRJC. While TPJC will require longer travelling time. Pls advise. Thanks.
Students that made it from a lower tier jc are those with discipline and determination as the sucess rate ranges from 45-60%
SRJC has an excellent track record for PW taken at jc1 whereas TPJC is ahead slightly academically.
As distance is critical, opt for SRJC. -

Her O Level results:
English A1
Chinese A1
Bio A1
Chem A2
Maths A2
AMaths A1
Lit English A1
Combined Humanities A1
can minus 4 bonus (CCA+HMTL).
1) What subjects combi?
Although she is more towards Art, she thinks Science will give her more options later. Maybe BCM-H2 & KI,Lit or Econ ?
2) RI/HCI or VJ. Not sure if she even got chance since her Chem & Maths both not very strong. She's also worrying about the culture in RI and not able to cope with the pace there. Is HCI a friendlier environment?
Any comments/advise would be appreciated.
Thanks!
@Hougang
Like her results! Think she is gd in maths but not meticulous. To maximise her options later since she is a well-balanced student, suggest drop KI and opt for GP instead.
She qualifies for admittance to RI/HCI and both are tops so difficult to recommend. Suggest go by distance. -

Maths is not compulsory? I thot it is in most JCs.
Subject combination: H2 Econs, H2 Geog, H2 KI, H2 Lit/Hist. H1 PW, MT. Total 10 academic units and is managable for u. The reason for dropping H2 Maths in this instance is u will be facing a squad of jc students with at least 75% having scored distinctions in maths not to mention very stiff competition from IP students.

A number of top arts students take KI, which is a contrasting subject. All these students had taken A-maths at yr4 or 0-Levels so they all meet the entry requirements for all business and falcuty of arts and social sciences. A-level maths is not required in this instance.

Hi Edureach - I have pm you. Thank you. -

Ah I see. Okay, but as I have taken higher mother tongue for o levels and got a distinction for it, I need not take it again for a levels.
Yes I think I've decided to take biology either because I cannot do chemistry nor physics and my bio isn't very strong.
Actually the reason I want to take 4H2 is because it would increase my chances of getting a scholarship. A 3H2 and 1H1 would stand a smaller chance. Correct me if I'm wrong
Many other scholarships apart from the top end ones accept 10 AUs. If u are aiming for the higher end, do well in your promos and take up a H3 module. This way, u hve 11 academic units. Invariably, you are equal to a 4 H2 applicant.

Edureach, pls don't say that. :oops: I am only senior member due to contribution in lower primary level related matters. I am a junior in secondary matters.

Thanks for the advice. Will let my niece know. I personally thought distance is a important consideration especially if both are fairly comparable. She found SRJC facilities alittle old. But she also heard alot of good feedback on SRJC.
