[quote=\"zbear\"]It's very risky to take triple Science n 1 Humanities asL1R5 is heavily dependent on the one n only Humanities subject. If you don't do well in that subject,then yr L1R5 score will be pulled down.


Good strategy is to take double science n double humanities so the other humanities subject can be a back up.

And that's why DD opted for double science & double humanities. I told her triple science means only need to focus on the combined humanities. But she's not too keen on Physics anyway.

bb_mom, which humanities subjects is your DD taking?

History is more difficult to score for o levels.[/quote]She chose Pure Lit and combined History/SS. But I'm not sure if she'll get this. No news from her.

We were mulling over double humanities or triple science+1 humanities too. In the end, ds chose triple science as he’s more of a science student than humanities.


dd had her o’s last year & managed to get A1 for her only humanities ss/lit (thank god!). All this while, her prelim results for ss/lit were very borderline. Her school is known to be strong in lit though & it helps that she’s got interest in lit.

Anyone knows when will the streaming results will be released?

Depends on each school. My DD got hers yesterday.

For combined humanities, it’s easier to score for Elect Lit n Elect Geog vs Elect Hist.


So for parents who are thinking of Humanities combi, please do bear this in mind.

Many pupils who choose Pure Geog will prefer Elect Hist to Elect Lit as they say the answering skills & techniques for Hist and Social Studies are the same.
But for DD sch, Lit is a compulsory subject as the school is strong in Lit, hence I do not know if E lit is in fact easier to score than E Hist.

Can anyone confirm if L1R5 can be:

L1, 3 sciences, 1 math and 1 humanities please? Thanks.

L1R5 can have other combi apart from what you listed.

It can also be
1. L1, 2 Sciences, 2 Maths n 1 Humanities or
2. L1, 1 Science, 1 Maths, 1 MT n 1 Humanities

Thanks zbear. I am just worried if only a maximum of 2 of each category of subjects can be used for computation of R5.

Streaming is settled for us. dd got her first choice.


Unsure if this is the right thread. But thought there should be alot of Sec 2 parents viewing this thread so I can get some ideas.

dd is doing HCL so she is sitting for O level CL next year. How can we prepare them for O level CL? Do we need to get those O level papers for them to practise?

Is your child doing O levels this year?
