Yes daisyt. Max. only 2 Sciences(excluding Maths) and at least 1 contrasting subject.

Thanks Dharma.


One more question.
Unless one wants to be in the medical line, it is better to take Physics and Chemistry because these two subjects would offer one a wider selection in Uni courses. True ?

Hi Dharma,

I remembered your girl is taking MEP. Based on the link you have provided, I noticed that music is offered under H2 or H3 level. My girl is also taking MEP. My questions :
1) Can she make her options as such : 2 sciences (Chem, Bio) and MEP (as contrasting subject) under H2, Physics, GP, PW under H1.
2) Can she take another H1 subject in place of MTL (presuming she meet the min. requirement in 'O' level Higher MTL)?

Äs stated in the MOE web : \"Able students who are interested in broadening their range of subjects and
intellectual horizons may offer an expanded curriculum:
• Take on an additional H1 or H2 subject, or
• Further specialise by offering up to 2 H3 subjects. \"

3) Do you know how they define \"able students\"? what are the min. requirements?

Thank you in advance.

Hi JustKP,

For (a), (b) and (c), at least one of the H1/H2 subjects must be a contrasting subject.

Qn 1) Yes. Her option is to do 3 H2 + 1H1 (at least 1 subject is a contrasting subject) . Music will be the contrasting subject then.

Qn 2) It does not seem to fit into the possible combinations I have. Maybe can contact the JC that she’ll be going to confirm the combi.

Qn 3) Not sure at this point of time. But what is stated in MOE website is
“If you have the ability and passion for a particular subject and the time to manage your workload beyond the norm combination of subjects, you may offer (a) an additional H1 or H2 subject or (b) up to two H3 subjects”.

Hi Dharma,

Thank you very much for the answers to my doubts.

May I know if the subjects combinations chart from MOE website?
