May I know what are the requirements to take certain subjects at JC level? For example, can one take H2 History when he only took Elective History at Secondary level? Thank you for any help rendered! =D

For those schools that still does, it is because the subject has an assumed knowledge.

H2 Mathematics; Assumed knowledge of Additional Mathematics
- Certain colleges enforce a pass in AMaths as requirement.

H2 Chemistry/Biology/Physics;
Assumed knowledge of Chemistry/Biology/Physics
- Certain colleges enforce a pass in PURE Chemistry/Biology/Physics
OR distinction in Combined Science
- Note Combined Science (Chem/Physics) not allowed for biology,
Combined Science (chem/bio) not allowed for physics etc.

H2 History
Assumed knowledge of Core History in O levels
- NO schools enforce requirements.

H2 Art
Assumed talent in art, selection tests needed for almost all schools.

H2 KI
Equal to uni year 1 philosophy.
- MOST schools require you to score A1 in English, others minimum distinction (A2).
