O Level Results 2013

[kiasuursula]

Hi,


I received a raw score of 9 points for O level,
after - 4 bonus points, it will be a nett score of 5.

Considering ACJC and NYJC,
Anyone willing to share the pros and cons of both JCs?

I'm also worry about the subjects combination in JC.

If I take science stream, i would take H2 math and H2 biology.
However, H2 Bio comes along with H2 Chemistry,
which I got a B3 for Chemistry and I did not really like the subject.

If I take art stream, I would likely to take H2 geography and H2 Econs(which I heard it is very difficult, it that true?).
Again, however, I left with English/Chinese Lit.
I'm not interested in Chi Lit and English is my curse since young. :lightrod:

Thinking of taking Art as a subject in ACJC, but I heard it is kind of 'English pai\", I'm not really fluent in English, afraid that I can't mix in with the students there.

too many questions, my apology,
:thankyou:

Hi all, I'm a newbie here haha and came to ask for the advice from you guys!


I recently received my 'O' level results, and am stuck in a dilemma. My raw L1R5 socre is 7, nett score is 3. The subjects which I take up are as follow:

English A1
Combined humans(ss+hist) A2
Pure geog A2
Emaths A1
Amaths A1
Combined science(phys+chem) A1
Hmtl C6
(raw is 7 because my grade for Chinese, taken in sec3, is A1)

I know I have the choice to enter the top few JCs. However, here is when the problem comes in: Firstly, I live far away from most of them. Secondly, I fear that I may not be able to cope if I were to enter a JC with a low cut off(I'm intending to enter science stream, but am still contemplating whether to opt for hybrid.)
I had thoughts of entering NJC/VJC, but considering that I live in Yishun, I would around 1h-1.5h to reach NJC/VJC. Hence, after considering distance, AJC/NYJC came up on my options. NJC is also still lingering in my 'to choose or not to choose' list since I kinda like the school after visiting the school for their open house. But if I were to really factor in distance, AJC and NYJC are my only two options.

Also, I’ve chosen to enter the science stream as I figured that I definitely can’t balance three arts subjects, and someone told me that entering the science stream is safer than entering hybrid if I haven’t decided on where I’m thinking of heading. If I were to enter the science stream in AJC/NYJC, I’ve decided to take up PCME, perhaps H2 for all(I was wondering if it’s okay if I take H2 for CME and H1 for Physics?). Also, if I had the liberty to enter the hybrid stream, I would choose to take up Maths H2, Chem H2, Econs H2, Geog H1.

Okay so!! My question is: With the subjects that I’m thinking of taking, which JC should I put for first choice? AJC(more of study less of fun) or NYJC(more fun and require discipline in myself to study well)? Or should I just place NJC as my first choice(seniors have advised me that it’s better to go to a school near me tho)?

To sum up:
AJC – Near, Makes me study hard, but facilities old
NYJC – Near, facilities new, but I fear that I’d be too distracted
NJC – Dk if I should even consider because too far, but facilities and studies there=good.

Thanks in advance T_T Really stuck in a dilemma!!!!

distance shouldn't matter, but it doesn't take 1 hour to travel from yishun to nj

Hello. I’m new and I need help here. For O levels i received a RAW of 9 and after bonus points, i got 7.


English - B3
CH - A1
E math - A1
A math - A1
Chem - A1
Phy - A2
Bio - A2
Chinese - B3

Personally i am very disappointed with my results, especially my english and biology because i was expecting an A1. Could u guys help me with my dilemma please?

I’m keen on going to Temasek Junior College as my house i very near (I stay near expo) but i’m one point off their cut off for science stream, and my appeal does not fulfill their criteria. I was thinking of appealing anyway though.

Also, i am quite keen on SJI’s IB program but i do not know of their cut off score and its quite far.

My other choices are Mjc, Nanyang, St Andrews and Anderson. However, distance is a problem as my health condition is not very good.

Do advise!!! Thank you guys so much!!!

Yes, English is the first tie breaker. That's definitely true. Then HMT I think, since they said L1 is very important. As for number of A1s, I can't say conclusively that it's true, because MOE just said was that they look at the grades of the other subjects. They didn't specify if it was all subjects or what. Only when every single thing is the same, then it'll be by random.
