Thank you very much for your suggestion:)Erm for me,I've made up my mind to study H2 chem and maths,so I will left with 1 H2 and 1H1 subject.I'm still in a big dillema on whether to take up H2 physics or H2 geography...can you please enlighten me?as in I hope to take up combinations which is more common and widely accepted in prestigious university.But sinc I'm not taking pure science in sec sch,I will be at a disadvantage when I take 2 H2 sciences right?:(

If you choose to do 3H2 and 1H1, you cannot drop one H2 subject if you cannot cope with it. Hence either you do 4H2 (drop or downgrade to H1 at Year 2 if you cannot cope) or choose your 3 H2 subjects carefully. No subject is easy in JC, whether it is H1 or H2. Your O levels results are impressive, hence I believe with more hardwork, you can do equally well in A level. You must have confidence in yourself.

if chosen 3H2 / 1H1 and worry cannot cope, how to ever choose 4H2 first then drop to 3H2?

This is true. But I have seen cases of students who did well in A levels as he has choose the correct subjects.

I believe Nicole will be able to make her own decision and choose the subjects she likes and work hard to get the results she wants.

[quote=\"koguma\"]What do you plan to study in University? You should choose subjects that allow you to do the Degree you want in University, and not those subjects that are common and widely accepted in prestigious university.

I plan to study biomedical science or research in science in uni?And I know that the pre-requisite for it is to have a H2 maths and chemistry,but do I need a H2 physics too?thank you!

Which Science subjects you need to do depends on where you plan to study and what you plan to do research on. You may want to check out the various Universities websites on what are the prerequisites. You can also check on A*Star website too.

Thank you very much for having faith in me.Yup I agree with you that every subject in JC is tough and requires lots of efforts but I'm all ready to face that.And by the way,my results is not very impressive as my prelim results was better than my actual O level results:(But I will work very hard for A level:)And sorry,may I know why is so many students in JC taking PCME?(I asked you because I feel that you're very knowledgeable about JC curriculum)thank you very much.

Absolutely,every student should choose the subjects which he/she feels more interested in and more confident in scoring as everyone have different intellectual abilities.If the student chooses the subject that suites him the best,he will feel more comfortable studying it and will eventually score better and vice versa.

Please do not get the wrong idea..I didn't mentioned that I can't cope with 3H2 and 1H1 subject.I'm just thinking which subjects to be included in my 3H2....And someone kind enough out there is giving me suggestions on taking 4H2...

no worry, not referring to you as in can / cannot cope with 3H2

i find it illogical to suggest taking 4H2 so that if cannot cope with all can drop to 3H2, while taking 3H2 if cannot cope cannot drop any H2 subject ........

the more is not the merrier, taking more than one can cope will mean insufficient work on each H2 and result in poor grades in all 4 H2 subjects ....... and if any of the 4H2 is neglected from the beginning, might as well just begin it with 3H2 and do well in all of them, and maintain a good track record instead of dropping a subject in year 2

OO… i make a mistake here. Should not be take 4H2 and drop to 3H2. It should be downgrade the weakest H2 to H1, i.e. from 4H2 to 3H2 and 1H1. You need three H2, one H1 subjects, General Paper (GP) and Project Work (PW) to apply to local university.
