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.

Absolutely nothing wrong:)I understand what you are mentioning by 4H2 dropping to 3H2.3H2+1H1 is the normal combination for almost all JC students:)4H2 is for those who are of high calibre and those who wish to have a higher chance of applying scholarship.

Just for your information,I'm considering between PCME and PCMG:)

in fact some JCs are still suggesting just take 3H2 + 1 H1, and if you do well in any of the H2, you may be offered H3 for that one subject

for scholarship purpose, 3H2+1H3+1H1 is better than 4H2+1H1, assumiing a student spreading too thin on 4H2 and not able to shine well in any H2 subject

I’m stunned to learn that L1R5 is a total of 6 subjects! I had thought it was 5-- which had already seemed like a tall order! So basically need 4 A1s and 2 A2s if targetting for a 8 pt score!! I truly wonder how some kids can get 8 or 9 A1s!! I would applaud even if can achieve 6A1s.


What about the Chinese language. Must the student pass with a minimum C6 in order to qualify for JC?

Education seems hellish is Singapore!

5 subjects was a long time ago... when we were taking O levels.

You can also get 8 points by scoring 12 points, then deducting 4 bonus points from HMT, CCA or affiliation.

Not sure if you need to pass Chinese to get into JC. You need just D7 to get into university.

The JC he's aiming for is not affiliated. 8 is after 2 CCA bonus cut of :-(. Tough!

So what exactly is l1R5 ?

[Herbie]

L1R5 stands for One language + 5 relevant subjects

[LarryG67]

From what I know, the L1 has to be your English unless you happen to take HMT. Think the R5 stands for relevant 5. So I think it should be your best 5 subjects outside of English. But i think must include 1 math, 1 science and 1 humanities.

[Skyed]

Only a math/science AND one humanities is compulsory in R5.
