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.

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.

What's her aggregate?

HMT isn't compulsory in most secondary schools, except for the SAP schools.

Even in SAP schools, it's not compulsory to take HCL. At least not ALL SAP schools.

interesting question

but then this pass / merit / distinction only gives you 1 / 2 / 3 extra points only and if you apply to SAP sec school, else the extra points is useless

and the extra points is max 3 only ...... not as if they give you 30 points !

[clover18]

The additional points carries weight only for SAP school applicaitons. I guess maybe it comes in handy in mariginal cases where 2 kids score similar score, then the school may use HMT as a guide to decide who to offer the place to?


I am deciding whether to let my ds continue with HMT, and no feel at all where her standard is…so wondering what is the equivalent marks for the respective dist/merit/pass.
