Son received his sec 3 combi late oct…wanted to appeal since his science results for sec 2 were not bad…But he changed his mind…only wanted pure bio. Pure sciences (3), 2 Math and social studies would be too heavy.

usu. students appeal based on what reasons?

Due to limited resources, schools will list down the critieria to qualify for each combi. However, allocation will be based on merit (of overall grade or individual subject) if demand is overwhelming. Hence pupils will try to appeal.
Some schools provide appeal forms. Like 'musical chairs game', vacancies may be created along the line.
The pupil who can give the most convincing reason, such as having aspiration to be a journalist and a flair in writing but overall S2 results did not meet the criteria for mass media, may be given the mass media combi after school leaders review and verify her inclination.

I was wondering if dd meets the criteria of her first choice, will she be offered that combi. Fingers crossed that she will. Results will only be out next week.

Tks.

Generally school calls it 'media studies'. The combi is simply the usual 8 subject combi with media studies to replace, say A Math, for some schools.

Pardon me, am still clueless on the subjects involved.
Do you mean there is a new subject called media studies offered at Sec 3 in some schools?
Thank you.

Yes. Schools like PLMGSS and CCHMS offer O level Media Studies. But CCHMS offers it in Chi.

Thought DD will get the combi she select and in fact I dated her to buy the sec3 books tomorrow. :slapshead: Guess have to delay the buying of books.

DD has camp tomorrow and streaming results out tomorrow. If want to appeal, will have to submit by Thursday, the day after her camp is over. Good thing the teacher handling the camp will let the Sec 2 students time to check out the results. If not, I’ll have to wait until Wednesday afternoon to knwo which combi she got posted to.
