Subject Combination in JC

:sad:


No, my econs is H1. Are you sure that I cannot?

What are the other options?

Thanks!

I haven’t heard of anyone who managed to change subjects. You need to talk to your school teachers for more detailed advice. I can’t help you much.


Think about your O levels. Were you allowed to change subjects? Can only drop them as far as I know.

Sounds true, any suggestions? Should I study it after JC?

If you feel that strongly that you are in the wrong subject combi, bring it up to your school and change it as soon as possible. Term 2 is just about to start and if there’s any chance of changing you have to do it now. Much better than living to regret it when A levels roll around. Speak to your school asap.

Actually, there are many Arts subjects, like Literature, Econs, Geog, History, Music, AEP, KI and various third languages.

But realistically speaking is it possible to change from h2 physics to h2 biology?

Are you asking if it is possible to switch your combi from physics to bio? Only your school can answer that. Check with them.

Or are you asking if you'll be able to cope switching to bio after a term of physics? I don't see why not, as school has only been in session for a month.

Yes i know of someone who did that but it is quite troublesome and you should give good reasons for doing so. Talk to your CT asap. Good Luck!

Hi everyone,


Just wanted to add on about arts stream in JC. I took English lit, Econs, English language and linguistics and Math (all H2) as my contrasting subject. I was in the humanities programme in my school. Definitely though, I can say that Arts stream is hard. Arts in general is not about knowledge per se, but it is more about the skills behind the subject.
As for sciences, I believe it IS easier to score. Many of my friends scored very well in the science stream.
However, if your passion is truly humanities, then I believe that you should pursue your passion. Although I didn’t score as well as I hoped, I do not regret my humanities education at all as I’ve grown and matured so much as a person. After all, humanities is all about learning about society, the environment, people around you and even yourself.
Good luck!
