Yep, we can request for an appeal… If I’m not wrong, it’s from Nov 9 to Nov 12…
Do I put a random choice as my 6th choice? I ran out of choices after the 5th choice.
How do I improve my English? Any tips? English is my hate-st subject since Primary School, even though it is the most important subject. -
Yup .. you may place a random choice as your 6th choice if you're confident that you will for sure get into one of the first five choices of yours.
To improve English, simply read English newspapers everyday, listen to English songs and English news, etc. Confirm will improve over time.
Hardworking eh, 加油哦!! -
Okay, Thanks!
Thanks for you advice! I don’t listen to English songs at all, because it is the same as talking/shouting, except that they are in rhythm… And I can’t catch the lyrics at all… -
You are very welcomed!

Can someone give me advice on what shld be the best option for my son?
He has been offered for triple science in Sec 3.
Hesitating whether shld he go for triple or double science.
Is triple sci difficult? He’s worried cannot cope with physics.
His result:-
Eng 62
Chi 67
Math 77
Sci 73
Geo 70
His 77
Lit 63
Pls help, am at a loss…
If he choose to take double sci n drop physics, will that lead him to less option in the jc course or uni in the future? -
I would suggest he not to drop his Physics, as JC courses usually offer more Physics courses as compared to Biology Courses… Triple Science is of course difficult, but he could try to cope, given his Science Results.
-
I agree with Sugar … he can first take Triple Science … if he can’t cope along the way, he can drop to Double Science.

Thnks for both yr comments.
Will hv to make a decision by tmr.
:sad:
Lets say if he takes double sci biology n chem, what type of courses is offered in jc? Guess the option is limited.
One more setback for triple sci; he has to pass well in his humanities subj s.studies/geo elect given only one humanities offered. That's also quite risky as compared to double sci.
Thnks to correct if my understanding is wrong. :?: -

it is fine to take bio and chem. he still has many choice in JC. If physics is not his forte, don't \"gei gei\" take. He will suffer in time to come. Take a lesser load of 2 sciences, 2 humanities, 2 maths which gives him more time for CCA. Getting a good CCA grade helps with JC admission.Thnks for both yr comments.

We should dispel the long held notion that triple science is for the very cream of the crop. I don't think it holds water now. Yes, there are top students who want to take triple science. But there are many top students who also opt for double science.
Taking triple science no longer holds the prestige it did many years ago because you no longer need triple science to do medicine. -
jasmineyak:
A levels subjects are categorised into H2 (a full Alevel subject) and H1 (‘half’ an A level subject). Not all JCs will allow you to take the H2 subjects if you have not taken the subjects at ‘O’ level. Eg, if you have not taken Pure Physics /Geog / Lit, you may not be offered H2 Physics /Geog / Lit. But you may be able to do the subject at H1 level. You need to check with each JC on the different criterias.Thnks for both yr comments.

Note: it is COMPULSORY to do a contrasting subject (H2 or H1) at ‘A’ levels
eg. Student A: Chemistry, Biology, Math AND Geography (contrast subject)
eg. Student B: Geography, Economics, Literature AND Math (contrast subject)
