In A level can third Lang replace a contrasting subject like econs or humanities?

Yes. You can take, for example, Bio Chem Ma, and 3rd lang.

What was made very clear to all students and parents is that for Year 5 H2 Computing and Biology, Sec 3 and 4 Computing and Biology are not a prerequisite respectively, though it will be an advantage.

The Life Sciences Degree Programme at NUS (which is the undergraduate course for Biology and Biomedical Sciences) does not require Biology at H2 as a prerequisite.

Hi doodbug,

since underlined part mentioned it is compulsory for All IP5 students to take H2
Physics, plus H2 Chemistry herself also compulsory,

does it mean that nobody in IP5 taking H2 Bio ? In other words, those taking H2 Bio in Hwa Chong JC1, are only from the JAE (OP) intake?

Sorry phtthp, I wasn't clear. It is compulsory for all Sec 3 and Sec 4 HCI kids to read Physics. (It is definitely NOT compulsory for Year 5 students to read Physics.) I will edit my post to reflect it more accurately.

In year 5 HCI Science stream, the vast majority of students are reading Physics Chem Maths plus contrasting subject, or Bio Chem Maths plus contrasting subject.

Most JCs will allow students who did not read Biology in Sec 3 and 4, to read Biology at Year 5, I thought?


I guess HCI (JC Section) must be quite unique in this regard.
The prerequisite to read Bio at Year 5 and 6 is a B3 in Chem.

Hi doodbug,

How about Physics ?

If IP4 student @Hwa Chong did not take Physics before @IP (3 and 4) for two years, come to Year 5, allowed to take H2 Physics with zero background ?

because
this IP4 student is doing IP4 (double Science, double Humanities) subject combination and had chosen Bio instead of Physics, however at end of IP4, did not do well in Bio, so does Hwa Chong allow switching over to H2 Physics in Year 5, instead ?

Hi phtthp,
This subject briefing that I attended was for Sec 2 HCI parents.
IP4 student doing double Science double Humanities from HCI cannot opt for Bio instead of Physics. All IP3 and IP4 HCI students must read Physics and Chem. So in HCI IP3 and IP4, students take either Physics + Chem, or Physics + Chem + Bio, or Physics + Chem + Computing. Hence, there was no parent who asked what the Year 5 prerequisites for Physics is. I am not sure what the Year 5 Physics prerequisites are for NYGH and JAE students.

3rd Lang at H2 level?

must check the JC first, because
not all Junior Colleges in Singapore offer 3rd foreign language, at GCE A level

E.g.

If check St Andrew Junior College, she don't offer foreign 3rd language

this one, u need to check with that Junior College interested in, if they offer 3rd language at A level, because some do not. And even if some JCs do offer 3rd language, some offer only at H2 level, but not at H1. Need to check

also, depend on your child himself.
Is your child taking 4H2 or (3H2 + 1 H1) subject combination, at A level ?
if taking (3H2 + 1 H1) combination, out of these 4 subjects, which is the subject he chosen (selected) at H1 ?

Hi phtthp

I attended the Sec 2 HCI Subject Options talk, and this was in relation to choosing Sec 3 subjects.

It is compulsory for the whole of Sec 3 and 4 HCI to read Physics (no option given at all),

hence there was no mention on what the Year 5 Physics H2 prerequisites are. What was made very clear to all students and parents is that for Year 5 H2 Computing and Biology, Sec 3 and 4 Computing and Biology are not a prerequisite respectively, though it will be an advantage.

The Life Sciences Degree Programme at NUS (which is the undergraduate course for Biology and Biomedical Sciences) does not require Biology at H2 as a prerequisite.

hello (IP3 and IP4) students @NYGH,

is Physics compulsory, for (IP3 and IP4) girls, since @HCI, Physics is compulsory ?
