May I know will CCA points in JCs help in the entry to local universities such as for Secondary schools, there is a deduction of 2 bonus points for entry to JCs? TIA

No it won't. Local unis go mostly by UAS (Uni admission score), ie your A level or IB results. For courses where there are interviews, your resume might come into play. If you have outstanding CCA or other talents, you might want to apply via Discretionary Admission. For eg Quah Zheng Wen might have used his Olympic achievements to boost his already excellent IB grades to be offered admission to NUS medicine. Although he has recently given up the place to pursue his Olympic dream.

I read from the JAE booklet that on posting day, the student has to report to school at 7.30am. May I know if there is a fix program or every school is different? Do they require parents to be there as well?


Also, can don’t wear uniform? We have got rid of the uniform already and wondering what to do…

Your advice, please. Thanks.

Each school will have its own programme. Parents do not need to be present. All students would be in their secondary school uniforms. Can he borrow from friends? It would be rather awkward to be in home clothes.

Hi there!

[grownupbaby]

Thanks jtoh. Headache… But the MOE website actually said students "may wear secondary school uniform". Thus, not a must but like what you said, could be awkward. So got to give enough money to buy the JC uniform and attire… ? How about textbook? how much would be enough?

Ds nvr buy any texts for JC. For uniform, I gv him $100 for first day to buy 1 set first. His JC uniform is available from the bkshop Once he knew the cost from buyg the first one, he bought 1 set per day for 2 days thereafter.

Hi all, I need some advise.

dd scored 8 points in her o level exams. -2 cos of CCA would mean 6 points. Below are her scores:
Eng A1
E Math A1
A Math A1
Chi A1
SS/Geog A2
Chem A2
Phy A2
Bio B3
She doesn’t actually understand a lot in Physics but usually score A for it in Sec 4. She doesn’t want to be scientist or engineer in the future, but then I asked her what uni course or subject combi she has in mind then she says she dunno. She doesn’t know what stream to go to cos she simply wants Math and Econs H2. The other 2 subjects she dk. (She doesn’t know herself and her interests cos she’s a late bloomer). I’m also confused. DH doesn’t want her to go to schools in the east and north. (He prefers Central and West). Her teachers advised her to choose a more lively, less mugger and competitive kind of environment cos she was from neighbourhood sch. (COP 208++ not very sure now). She likes to write stories and essays. For JAE application I just asked her to try (in order) RI art, NJ sci, AJ sci, NJ art, AC art, AC sci. Pls advise me on the subjects she should take and the school she should go to… I don’t mind getting her to appeal. Happy (Chinese) New Year!
