      Hi all. I would like to seek some advice regarding on the subject combination. would H2 biology or H2 geography be a better choice? The other subjects chosen are Chem, Math and Econs.

      I have more interest in geog, but i understand biology provides more choices.
      Olevels scores are A1 : Bio, Emath, Amath, Geog, Combined Humanities ( SS + Hist ) , English , Mother tongue
      A2: Chem

      Thanks!
      I did H2 Geog and really enjoyed it. It's the most \"sciency\" subject of all the Arts IMO.

      I agree with HotnColdx - have a look at the course requirements for the unis and see whether you are interested in a course that asks for Biology. If you THINK there is a chance that you might want to apply for such a course in the future, I would suggest sticking with Bio to keep your options open.

      In my case, I knew I didn't want to do any science-related subjects in Uni (Engineering, Sciences, Medicine, Dentistry), so I switched out from pure science at Sec 4 to pure Arts in JC. If you aren't certain though, I'd advocate playing safe.

            I got accepted into Raffles and I’m in the Science stream.

            I’m in a dilemma between taking H2 bio and H2 phys as well as H2 eng lit and H2 econs. I’m taking H2 chem and H2 math for the other two subjects. I do have more interest in bio then in phys but would the heavy content for bio be one to cause regret? The thing is, unlike most of my peers, I really have no idea what I want to do in life(it really irritates the hell out of me sometimes) and hence, I don’t really have anything to base my decisions on. Sigh. Therefore,I’d really like some advice over whether to choose phys or bio…and the same goes for econs and lit.
            I was in the triple science stream in secondary school and I didn’t take lit as an o’lvl subject.
            Oh and would anyone recommend one to take up the English Language and Linguistic Scholarship and KI? English has always been my strongest subject,if that helps.
            I’d really really appreciate any help given! ((:

                Hi, I’m a JC1 student in ACJC (yes, I’m a newbie) who hasn’t chosen my subject combination…


                As in the title, I’m debating between English Language and Linguistics (ELL) and English Literature. I’ve heard that ACJC is very strong in Arts/Language, and I’m also interested to join the ELEP (and hopefully get the ELES hehheh). But the thing is, I’m not sure if I’d like it, and English Lit seems equally interesting too (though I don’t have any background in Lit).

                I’m also debating between Biology, Maths, and Physics. I think I’m certain that I’ll be taking Chemistry since it does seem to be a pre-requisite for many Uni courses. I’m definitely more interested in Biology (I got an A2 in O’s) and I find Maths and Physics kinda dry and uninteresting (I’ve a B3 in A Maths and Physics). But then again, Maths and Physics also do seem to be rather important in Uni…

                Is there anyone who can contribute some info as to the subjects or as to ACJC itself? And is it recommended to take 4H2 or 3H2 and 1H1? 😮

                Thank you for your help!

                    Hi all i have been in a dilemma about continuing in my school lately but i think i kind of sort out my thinking. But i am in a huge problem not currently i am in YJC and i have take the subject combination of H2 Geography Economics and English literature and H1 math. I kinda of like the combi but i realise i have very little option in uni courses so i want to appeal combination to H2 Math Chem Econs and h1 Physics. Although i like geography but if it means that i can have more options in uni i would not mind taking other subjects. My o level results are

                    B3-Eng,Comb sci(phy,chem),Comb humans(ss,lit),MT,POA
                    A2-Geography
                    A1-E math
                    I know it is recommended that i take h1 math and arts but i really will put in the effort to do well as long as i have the chance. But i do not really know how to approach this problem. I have approach my form teacher she said she try help but i hope fellow ppl in the forum can really help gimme advice on what to do.

                      Hi all, i recently transferred from sci to arts stream as i do not want to do any engineering/sci courses in uni. Im interested in economics, law, buisness or accountancy, and am muh more interested in humans subjects

                      My o level results are,
                      English-A2
                      E maths-A2
                      A maths-A2
                      Pure geog-A1
                      Ss hist-A1
                      Physics-A2
                      Biology-B3
                      Chemisty-B3
                      Chinese-B3
                      My l1r5 is 10.

                      My current combination is now h2 geog, econs, history and h1 math , pw and chinese. However, i am in a dilema whether to change my geog to h1 and math to h2. I saw the singapore uni prerequisites and h1 math is sufficient, but i was wondering for unis in uk, usa/ australia whether they would require h2 math for econs/ accountancy/buis, like melbourne u etc. as i cant take 4h2s in my school, i have to make a decision whether to take h1/2 math. Was hoping for some advice on my subject combi thx 🙂

                        H2 Maths is important if you want to study econs/accountancy. H1 history or geog should be alright.
