Is it true one cannot take all the 3 Sciences under H2 for A level ? :?

Yes daisyt. Max. only 2 Sciences(excluding Maths) and at least 1 contrasting subject.

Hi Dharma,

I remembered your girl is taking MEP. Based on the link you have provided, I noticed that music is offered under H2 or H3 level. My girl is also taking MEP. My questions :
1) Can she make her options as such : 2 sciences (Chem, Bio) and MEP (as contrasting subject) under H2, Physics, GP, PW under H1.
2) Can she take another H1 subject in place of MTL (presuming she meet the min. requirement in 'O' level Higher MTL)?

Äs stated in the MOE web : \"Able students who are interested in broadening their range of subjects and
intellectual horizons may offer an expanded curriculum:
• Take on an additional H1 or H2 subject, or
• Further specialise by offering up to 2 H3 subjects. \"

3) Do you know how they define \"able students\"? what are the min. requirements?

Thank you in advance.

Hi JustKP,

For (a), (b) and (c), at least one of the H1/H2 subjects must be a contrasting subject.

Qn 1) Yes. Her option is to do 3 H2 + 1H1 (at least 1 subject is a contrasting subject) . Music will be the contrasting subject then.

Qn 2) It does not seem to fit into the possible combinations I have. Maybe can contact the JC that she’ll be going to confirm the combi.

Qn 3) Not sure at this point of time. But what is stated in MOE website is
“If you have the ability and passion for a particular subject and the time to manage your workload beyond the norm combination of subjects, you may offer (a) an additional H1 or H2 subject or (b) up to two H3 subjects”.

Hi Dharma,

Thank you very much for the answers to my doubts.

Hi JustKP,


Here is something on Qn2 & 3 u asked earlier.

2. If I have already fulfilled the Mother Tongue requirement by passing Higher Mother Tongue at ‘O’ level, can I replace the 1 unit allocated for Mother Tongue with another subject, like H1Economics?
The maximum number of units a student can offer is 12. MOE’s policy is that the 12 units comprise 11 units + Mother Tongue (1 unit). If you have already fulfilled the Mother Tongue requirement, the maximum number of units you can offer is still 11. In other words, you cannot ‘replace’ the MT unit with another subject if your total number of units is already 11.

8. How are students selected for H3 subjects? Is there a minimum requirement?

The minimum requirement for offering H3 for students from the Raffles Programme is a GPA of 2.8 and above. Students with ‘O’ levels must have scored a minimum of 6 ‘A1’s in any of the academic subjects. Students who do not meet the above requirements will not be allowed to offer H3 subjects.

Your teachers at RJC will also give further advice to help you make a decision regarding which H3 subject to offer. Please also note that you need to offer the subject at H2 level to qualify for the H3 component.

Hi Dharma,

Now I have a better picture. Thank you very much.
