I wouldn't suggest you going the JC route, because the demands of a JC curriculum is tremendous, and especially for H2 Maths and H2 Physics, it builds on your O levels knowledge.

JC teachers assumed you are well versed with your O levels curriculum, and if you aren't, it will be really tough to survive JC.

Thanks for the reply! I wanted to take BCE (H2) and M as H1(since i didnt take amath) How is the syllabus like? Does it really really require very strong o level knowledge as foundation? 😞 (for chem esp)

From my personal experience, if you're determined to work hard, and I mean very hard, you will do well. I did badly for my o levels as well, by my own standard, which was 13 raw, 9 nett. C5 for english and b3 for chem. chem does require o level knowledge, but not ask much as you think you need. I forgot all my o level chem knowledge in jc as well. The important point is to listen to lectures and do all your tutorials before every tutorial lesson. Take the chance at tutorial classes to clear your doubts. DO NOT procrastinate and wait until you're near exams then start to consult your tutors, this will cause a snowballing effect and you'll realize you can't catch up by then. All subjects are the same, consult if in doubt, don't wait. I can see you're determined to go the jc/mi route, so don't give up and prepare to work doubly hard. When you're about to give up, just think of the end result when you receive your result slip from your principal 🙂 I guess you don't want to regret like you did during o levels right?[/quote]i dont! thank you for the inspiring reply!!!!! 😄

Sorry, I am not being a wet blanket, but I think A Level may not suit you. As I had gone through the route before, so I can tell you that as compared to A Level, O Level is a piece of cake. You can say that I will work harder for A Level (many actually say that after getting the posting results), but the fast paced lesson and rigour will make you have a second thought. I took H2 Math Economics Chemistry and Physics, so as a Science student, I know how hard it is to cope. I even saw my friend who scored L1R5 of 12 points failing all his subject in JC.


After all, it is your own choice. If you are ready for a new challenge in MI, go for it then 🙂
I will try my best! Thank you for the reply!!!

I think its a good choice if your foundation not that strong. But make sure work hard. The odds of going into university from A level is better than poly route. The extra year could be a blessing in disguise for you....[/quote]hopefully, thank you!!! ^^

You will be learning stuff based on what you learnt in secondary so your foundation needs to be at least somewhat there.

Did you get an average grade in English? To take the ‘A’ levels route, you have to be confident that you will pass your GP reasonably well. If you do poorly in GP, you may not get a place at a university. An ‘A’ level grad is less employable than a poly grad.


2. Did you do well in some subjects but had your score affected by other subjects? (E.g. Was your score badly affected by a very poor grade in a compulsory subject?) If so, there’s hope that you can improve if you take the subjects that you’re good at in MI or a JC.

3. Are you okay with studying and reading a lot? That’s what the ‘A’ levels require. If you’re a more hands-on person, I suggest you consider appealing to other poly courses?

Might not be advisable to appeal into a JC.

What are your subject grades?

The JC curriculum is going to be very demanding and require a lot of you foundations in O's to be \"there\" before you can proceed to a higher level.

Also, CJC cut-off point is 10 points and some students with 12 or 13 points fail to get in via the appeal. However of course, it doesn't hurt to actually just try.

It is a must to have very strong sec school foundation? 😞 I can't just work hard to learn the new things?

I thought I would receive an email when you all replied. I went down to JJC but they told me to go down again when the results are out. Since I couldn't put JJC as one of my choices, I listed all my 12 choices with courses from SP (and MI as my 7th and 8th). Just received the results and I'm in MI science... I was really hoping JJ would accept me through my CCA but yeah, they said I need to have a net score of 20 at least... T________T Don't know if I should still go down with all the testimonials and stuff... Please give me some suggestions! Or should I appeal into SP?? Or any opinions on MI? :gloomy:

If you were to write down any codes on provided on form A, it would basically be void. Basically, it means that you would lose an option out of the 12 you have. If you don't qualify/was not selected for ANY of your 12 options, you would only be allowed to choose courses (from which you qualify aka poly) of which HAVE PLACES AFTER ALL OTHERS HAVE BEEN ADMITTED.

Given that you raw score is 27, I do not think you have much choices in poly either unless you failed a subject. L1R4 of 20 and above crosses out most poly courses too.

Let’s say if one has 22 and with CCA bonus of -2, one would not be able to appeal to JC still as the min score can’t be a 20 pts net.


You may look at your L1R4 and if it’s <20, you hv a chance for MI.
