For ACJC appeal, do i actually need to submit my prelim results together with my o level results? My prelim results were quite horrible and i dont think it’ll help in my appeal. The school website states that "Students need to apply personally to ACJC with photocopies of their exam results, CCA records, Form A (L1R5), JAE verification slip (choices of colleges), and a passport-size photograph."

Just call the school and ask. It’s always best to get information directly from the source.

It seems like your son is also considering between ACJC and NJC. What is his L1R5? Just curious...

Raw is 8 . With bonus points for CCA is 2 . We put NJC as first choice followed by acjc . Have to take a gamble , hopefully he gets into either school .

Btw why u need to appeal ? If u r doing science course , i know that last year’s acjc cop was 6 ( with bonus points ) , but for the previous 2 years , cop was 7 , maybe last year’s one was an exception . Hopefully it goes back to 7 . But if u want to do arts , it remains at 7

From what i know, NJC's science stream is a partial 5. However, the better schools usually leave some places for good students who do not take Higher Chinese. Your son should have a good chance in appealing. As for ACJC, his score is probably good enough to get into ACJC. I know a lot of seniors who have had a raw score of 10(with 4 Bonus Points so 6) who have gotten into ACJC through JAE.

Many of the cut off points for schools are partial. RJ/HC cut off is partial 3. VJ science is partial 4. I assume the same goes for most other schools. Because it's partial, the student with the better gross aggregate will be given priority eg. cutoff is 7 points, the student with 9-2 is given priority of 11-4.

I'm more interested in science actually. Yes, the cut off a few years back was 7. However, it was a partial 7. This means that only some people with 7 actually got in. If two people with the same score are vying for the last vacancy in a school, the next thing they look is your raw score, followed by citizenship and then random balloting by a computer. Its sometimes luck too.
