Jonathan Lim:

@babylissa do you know what time sch usually ends assuming there is no CCA in ACJC ?

No fix dismissal time, JCers usually stay in school till about 6pm. On the days that no CCA, they may have to attend additional lessons. It all depends on the class time table.

Reporting time is 7.10am, they have to be in the hall by 7.10am.

If the subject combination is H2 maths , geog , chem and h1 geog , is it considered a odd combination in ACJC ?

Hey guys,


I'm quite currently in quite a dilemma over where exactly to head to for JC. I'm currently considering RJ, HC, VJ and NJ.

Results, 2012 GCE 'O' Levels:
English - A1
Chinese - A1
A Maths - A2
E Maths - A1
Biology, Chemistry, Physics - A1
History World Affairs (2138) - A1
Combined Humanities, Geography - A1

L1R5 Raw: 6; Net: 4 with A1 CCA grade but not HMTL.

I went for the open houses for all the 4 JCs and personally prefer the VJ atmosphere over the rest, especially with their steadily improving results at the A Levels. However, I live in the West, in Bukit Batok, which is really far from VJ (~1hr 15min travel time). If geographical distance wasn't a factor, I'll definitely place VJ as my first choice. Would the travel time make a major difference in JC?

I'm personally a bit biased against NJ, since a few seniors from my school aren't exactly too happy about the overall environment at NJ. Yet, I guess it's the most reasonable choice considering the distance and my net L1R5. Is it true that at NJ, the academic results are often over-emphasised?

I'm considering appealing to HC or RJ, but I'm afraid that if the appeal isn't successful, and let's say VJ as my second choice doesn't accept me, I'll be posted to another school. What are the chances of a successful appeal and what are the items needed for appeal, like testimonials and stuff?

Guess Vj would be a good choice for you, might be able to appeal RJ if you want, sometimes they do take in appeals such as your case. Personally I would think RJ is the best option judging from the infrastructure and support. I guess you would enjoy it there as well the environment is nice

@Skyed


If I place it as second choice, and both my first and second choice are rejected, won't I be like stranded?

No difference if you place which schools as your first or second choice. You are placed by merit and not by choice.

Mr Lim.Why only one science?
Not popular combination but won't be deemed \"odd\"

@blabla1234 : hi u r a student at NJC rite ? If i were to take the subject combination of H2 for maths , econs and chem , and H1 for geog , is it considered a odd combination?

Yep it's a hybrid combi and hence is quite rare actually. Cas geog and econs are Arts subject. Math and Chem is science subjects. Well not just NJ but fo most of the other JCs it is a rather odd combi. i wouldnt exactly recommend it because being in a rather odd combi puts u in a disadvantage in many ways such as super weird timetables (like end school very much later than the rest and excessive, redundant breaks in between lessons or even a whole day without breaks at all). But ultimately if those subje ts are what you really desire then i think it's still worth a shot!
