      Hello. I have just received my Olevel results and there are many questions I would like to ask. My results are as follows: Pure Geog and German B4, Chem and Physics B3, Eng and Amath and Hcl and cl and combined humans A2, emath A1. Results are a disappointment:(

      i got raw score 12, net score 8. I have been wanting to go to acjc arts stream but acjc arts stream COP is 7. If I try applying for acjc arts stream, would I stand any chance? Or isit not worth applying at all.
      If I appeal will I stand a chance?

      With my net score 8, would I be able to get into ajc science stream? or is it very risky to put it as my first choice? I got an A1 for emath and A2 for Amath and have a great interest for math so I hope the challenging math won't be a problem.

      Many of my friends around me are troubled about choosing between ajc and nyjc. Which do you recommend? What attracts me about nyjc is their hybrid choices...

      I would be grateful if someone replies soon 🙂 And Thank you!

        Hi all, just got my GCE O’s results on the 10th. Though i won’t say that my results are bad but its really not very satisfactory… it’s really giving me a big headache now over which Junior College to apply to. So i was hoping to get some advice from this site to help me make a more informed choice and decision:)

        My results are as the follows:
        EL: A2
        CL:A1
        HCL:A2
        Com. Humans(E.Hist & SS): A1
        Pure Geog: A1
        A Math:A1
        E Math : A1
        Physics: A1
        Bio:A1
        Chemistry:A2
        L1R5 7. After deduction of bonus pts is 3
        I’m intending to go to the science stream in jc so it would be great if anyone out there could give me some advice on what to consider! Thanks in advance!!:)

          Go to http://www.gothere.sg

          see whether vj or nj is closer.
          choose the closer one.
          might want to put first choice rj for a slight chance of entering.

            Both vjc and njc are pretty far for me. The journey for both is more than an hour. And yes I was thinking of putting raffles as my first choice and hwachong the second but im rather worried since im not too sure of my chances of getting accepted. To what i know there are lots of people applying for raffles as their first choice so my chances are relatively slim. As for hwachong most people are placing it as their second choice so i was wondering if i placed it as my first, would i stand a better chance of getting accepted?

            By the way, do you know anything about njc? I'm thinking of placing it as my 3rd choice but according to my friend's senior, the teachers there aren't exactly very dedicated.(Not meaning to offend anyone but thats what i heard.)
            Thanks for the advice btw! 😄

              My daughter lives in west with net score of 6 in O level 2013. She wants to pursure science. Wants to get some advise on selection of school between ACJC, AJC and TJC.


              1. ACJC is close from home but since I am not from affiliated school feel disconnected and also got some adverse feedback about culture and poor science faculty particularly physics.

              2. AJC is relatively far (17 km) but may be good for sciences. I have less inclination to go there since COP is still lower (8) than what I got and I feel if I deserve better.

              3. TJC is far from my place (about 25 km with 1.5 hour door to door travel time). I am impressed with the school. But distance wise little nervous.

              I would like an advise from experience of other parents or students about my dilemma.

              Urgent advise requested since I have another two days to finalize my choice.

                      njc's teachers are more dedicated with more teachers coming in, there are always students having consultation with the teachers ( if that's what you mean, though I have no idea what for?). And most of the teachers are definitely nice and if one manages to be a teacher's favourite - usually due to results and attitude, it places them at a very high advantage

                        Hey isadoralizzy! 🙂 are you from nj? I'm considering it as one of my choices & if possible could you share how it is like there, thank you!


                        jesstingwugui, I think you should try for rj or hc, I'm sure you'll be able to get in through appeals, you did score quite well :D. As for rj/ hc, might want to choose based on distance & convenience. If you're planning on appealing, you should put the one you'd like to get in most as first choice for sure. Good luck!! 🙂
