I wish to understand how subject combinations are selected.


I just know that it depends on whether the child prefers maths, Science or Humanities. However, I need to know how the combinations works for each.

Also, at O levels, what is the marking system. e.g 5 points, 6 points some say 9 points, 15 points...no idea at all what all this means.

Thanks a ton....

O levels if you're planning to go JC, it will be counting L1R5. L1 can use either English OR Higher Chinese. R5 will have to include at least 1 math OR science + 1 humanities. The other 3 subjects can be math/science/humans but not CCA. Eg. Someone who gets A1 for english, biology, chemistry, combined humanities, emath and amath would have an L1R5 of 6 (perfect raw score). Even if the same person took physics and eg. got a B3, she/he would still have 6 because they count your best 5 relevant subjects along with english. If going poly, it's L1R4 instead, but this time can include cca. Also for JC the most number of points you can get is 20 to be accepted. Once you get 21 raw, even with 2 bonus points no JC will take you.
