UK A levels is 1.5 to 2 years if studying in the UK. But for students repeating A levels (i.e. fail SG A levels then want to do UK A levels), usually can get by with one year.
Mp, UK A is 1 year only? -

From SEAB-A switching over, to attempt UK-A, should be much easier lah !

Whereas
From SEAB-A switching over to IB, must find out
if there's any cut off age, and
how much difference in syllabus, per core subject. -

Will think more when confronted with the situation. To me, the child's input is very important. If no buy in or interest, or not ready or not willing, no point. I am open to kids taking some time out, i.e. gap year etc, if they need it for their mental health or for whatever reasons. I don't wish for it to happen, but if it does, will deal with it then.

I wonder how difficult is it for the O level kids joining the IB in Y5 & 6… based on O results, these are better students to begin with, so their ability to follow will be better?
For A lvl students to take IB, should be at least abt same as O lvl’s taking IB, if not better? As they are at least more mature le. -

Right now I m pro Poly but not dd..I told dd unless can get great results else really need to seriously consider Poly. Of course still depend on her. I don't mind the extra years..at least that is more time to mature. Dh told me to put the options down in writing.. well it is time to check already as the window period to make decision will be rather short after results out.

For Maths and Science, I think SEAB-A switch to UK-A, shouldn't be problematic. Humanities subjects like Geog or History, more complex I think. Syllabus may be different.

Fail SEAB-A then switch over to IB I think not possible for Singaporean boys right, sure overaged if have to serve NS. Too complex I donno how to navigate. -

If take PCME (SEAB-A), switch over to (UK-A), much easier ! Econs, not much difference, neither. You can go and study their both curriculum.
For Maths and Science, I think SEAB-A switch to UK-A, shouldn't be problematic. Humanities subjects, more complex I think. Syllabus completely different. No such thing as SS and all in UK A levels.

Boys, bec of NS, IB may be a bit old for boys. Girls, still can. -

My kids didn't take O levels - so I don't even know how poly admissions works for IP kids whether after Sec 4 or JC2.

But I must be having phobia of failing Year 6 hahahahahaah. I personally found the A levels hard and would not want to relive A levels.
