It's okayMy sincerest apology for making a mess of the requirements to do HCL at Sec.
Nevertheless, the important fact that I was trying to put across is that taking HCL at Sec and passing it will save the agony of having to do Chinese at JC.
Thanks for all the clarifications.

Maybe it's not the top 10% of the cohort eligible for the HMTL, maybe it's Top 9% or Top 8%.My girl had A for Chinese, Merit for HMT but the letter did not state she is eligible for HMT in sec sch. Instead 3rd lang option of Malay & bahasa Indo is given. I asked MOE why. She said can apply in sec sch during registration, this is not classified under appeal.
I asked 3rd choice sch and the Malay teacher said must go through a compo test (after asking if my girl got A* for Chinese and what grade she got for Eng, btw she got A for Eng). Don't know whether to trust her or not.
I think only the TOP 10% of the cohort are eligible for French, Japanese and German.

Hmmm.. don't know, not sure. IN any case, we didn't receive the type of letter that <caroline3sg> says her daughter got. My son who got A for CL/EL(no HCL), had the HMT/3rd lang(all those foreign languages) letter.Maybe it's not the top 10% of the cohort eligible for the HMTL, maybe it's Top 9% or Top 8%.

a) you are ranked top 10% of cohort; or
b) ranked top 11-30% AND have scored either A* in MTL or at least Merit in HMTL.
Perhaps your dd is not within top 30% of cohort. -
But I meet the merit in HMT.
Learning HCL is easier than 3rd lang in Malay or bahasa arab or indo.
I just called MOE. She took down my details & ask officer to look into it. -

I re-read your post again with the word "AND".
Your guess of outside 30% is true, MOE called & cfm the word "AND". -
caroline3sg:
The criteria is you must be in top 11-30% FIRST, then have scored A* in MTL or at least a Merit in HMTL before you're offered HMTL. So likelihood your dd's not in top 30%. If you're not in top 30%, they won't even consider your Merit in HCL.But I meet the merit in HMT.
