All About A Levels

NYJC definitely is more supportive of a hybrid combination. Every year there are classes in NYJC which are specifically for hybrid combinations. Subject combinations are extremely flexible in NYJC. The school practically allows you to choose whatever subjects you want to study.


Moreover the school is more up-to-date and I strongly believe provides a more conducive environment to study in as compared to AJC.

NYJC has a distinct programme in CLEP whereby no other tier2 jc has it. The school's infrastructure is new and its students are easy to mix with. I agreed it also has adopted a flexible policy in the area of subject combination. These are indeed the strengths of the school.

However, there's one thing going great for AJC, academically is the top 2nd tier jc closely follow by ACJC and Meridian jc. There are reasons behind it.

Yes, NYJC offers CLEP and it has been relatively successful. The school has constantly ranked among the best (even surpassing HCI in several years) for the H2 CLL subject. NYJC also offers the Art Elective Programme (AEP) which not many JCs offer.

A few years back NYJC might be behind AJC. But the school is catching up very fast and is narrowing the gap. If you look at the 2011 COP for NYJC, it's actually now the same as MJC. Comparing NYJC and AJC's cut-off points, both JCs actually have the same COP for Arts stream at 10. For science stream, NY is just one point higher at 9 while AJC's 8. Not much of a difference if you ask me.

NYJC's very hot in demand - more than 4000 people chose it as their top 3 choices last year while the school could only accept 800.

My dd got 9 points raw score and 7 points nett score for L1R5.


Math A1
Add Math A1
English A1
Chem A2
Physics A2
Geog A2
SS/History A2
Chinese B3

She is contemplating H2 Math, H2 Econs, H2 Geog, H1 Chem.

I believe this is Arts stream? Any thoughts about this combo? Would this be good enough for entry to take up business degrees in NUS/NTU?

She is not interested in pursuing medicine/science/engineering degrees.

She has visited AJC’s open house today but missed out on ACJC, SAJC and NYJC open houses. Can anyone share their thoughts about these JCs?

Thank you so much!

My L1R5 is 7 points with only 2 bonus cca points, making it 5 points.

Now i wonder if i should get into NJC or AJC.
My consideration are as follow:

AJC is just 20 minutes away as i live in Yishun, convenient and good academics at the same time. Many of my friends are also applying to AJC.

NJC has a better academic result but is very far, around an hour of commuting. It seemed to be more academic oriented, which in this case i meant that there is not much other activities in the school or socializing around. So if my friends are not going, it would be dull too.

Any advice??? Help i need this tomorrow!

Thank you all!

My son just got his O level result as follow. His nett score is 7. Now deciding whether to go for NYJC or MJC. Heard that MJC stressed a lot on academy. Is this true? Cos my son is quite a playful type. Too much studying will be back fired. Anyone has any info regarding these 2 JCs? Any advice which JC will be better for him? We are considering NYJC because its accessibility in transport while MJC, my son likes the environment.

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

I am encouraged by young people like you who humbly seek the advice of others in planning for your future. Yes, if you are aiming for a scholarship, 4H2 is the way to go. With careful selection of subjects and hard diligence, you can do well for the 'A' levels. Remember too that the organisations are looking for someone who has embraced a holistic education so you need to work on your CCA and develop your leadership qualities. All the best!

If I were you, I would choose AJC. This is ancedotal but my observation of NJC students is that they have no life other then studies . You will also be placed in separate classes from the IP students and there is a perception (but not necessarily true) of a difference in treatment between IP and non-IP students. AJC students also need to study very hard, but all the JC1s start with a clean slate.
