i dun think its advisable to put down a jc in ur option form, or even appeal into a JC. It would be better if u put down poly courses..:)

Thank you for your reply! I wasnt eligible to even list down jc courses as well... Listed all poly courses but got into MI which was my 7th

Have u look at millenia institute ?

what do you think about MI? I heard from my teacher friend that it is really tough to do well there...

Might not be advisable to appeal into a JC.

What are your subject grades?

The JC curriculum is going to be very demanding and require a lot of you foundations in O's to be \"there\" before you can proceed to a higher level.

Also, CJC cut-off point is 10 points and some students with 12 or 13 points fail to get in via the appeal. However of course, it doesn't hurt to actually just try.

It is a must to have very strong sec school foundation? I can't just work hard to learn the new things?

27 points is an average of 4 points for each subject of your L1R5.


I wouldn't suggest you going the JC route, because the demands of a JC curriculum is tremendous, and especially for H2 Maths and H2 Physics, it builds on your O levels knowledge.

JC teachers assumed you are well versed with your O levels curriculum, and if you aren't, it will be really tough to survive JC.

Thanks for the reply! I wanted to take BCE (H2) and M as H1(since i didnt take amath) How is the syllabus like? Does it really really require very strong o level knowledge as foundation? (for chem esp)

You will be learning stuff based on what you learnt in secondary so your foundation needs to be at least somewhat there.

Look forward & study hard when you go to MI. No point looking backward or cry over split milk. What is over is already over. You are still very young. Just study hard & you will have a bright future ahead of you.

I think its a good choice if your foundation not that strong. But make sure work hard. The odds of going into university from A level is better than poly route. The extra year could be a blessing in disguise for you....

1. Did you get an average grade in English? To take the ‘A’ levels route, you have to be confident that you will pass your GP reasonably well. If you do poorly in GP, you may not get a place at a university. An ‘A’ level grad is less employable than a poly grad.


2. Did you do well in some subjects but had your score affected by other subjects? (E.g. Was your score badly affected by a very poor grade in a compulsory subject?) If so, there’s hope that you can improve if you take the subjects that you’re good at in MI or a JC.

3. Are you okay with studying and reading a lot? That’s what the ‘A’ levels require. If you’re a more hands-on person, I suggest you consider appealing to other poly courses?

From my personal experience, if you're determined to work hard, and I mean very hard, you will do well. I did badly for my o levels as well, by my own standard, which was 13 raw, 9 nett. C5 for english and b3 for chem. chem does require o level knowledge, but not ask much as you think you need. I forgot all my o level chem knowledge in jc as well. The important point is to listen to lectures and do all your tutorials before every tutorial lesson. Take the chance at tutorial classes to clear your doubts. DO NOT procrastinate and wait until you're near exams then start to consult your tutors, this will cause a snowballing effect and you'll realize you can't catch up by then. All subjects are the same, consult if in doubt, don't wait. I can see you're determined to go the jc/mi route, so don't give up and prepare to work doubly hard. When you're about to give up, just think of the end result when you receive your result slip from your principal I guess you don't want to regret like you did during o levels right?
