Under the new system, the fourth content-based subject will only be counted for university admissions if it improves a candidate’s score.
What does it mean ? How will it be determined how much it is worth to be counted or not to be counted? -

Yes, u are right, newbieks
Should be those taking A levels in 2026. So not for the piggies…
Not for piggies, who're born in 2007.
Is for those, born in 2008, onwards. -

I believe so. Otherwise, MOE would have briefed the principals. Secondary principals should not sit back and do nothing. Minimally, start the ball rolling by getting MOE to do a townhall zoom meeting for parents who have questions to ask and wants more explanation about this new policy.
The secondary schools personnel (and even JC personnel), are possibly reading about the changes for the first time, now. LOL!! :rotflmao: -

Under the new system, for kids born in 2008 onwards, since 70 points is maximum, then sit for
Is it better to do 4H2 or just 3H2 and 1H1 given that the maximum points is 70 points?
Shouldn’t MOE get the secondary schools personnel to explain these changes to parents of Sec 4 O level graduating cohort so that parents are not stunned by this sudden announcement.
( 3H2 1 H1), will do. No need to aim for 4 H2.
Current students affected, born in 2008 onwards, are 2023 Sec 3 this year, the start of their Upper Secondary. Next year, then they do O-level. Still got plenty of time, for Principal & VP, to explain to them the impact. -

Yes, I agree this change is for the better. It may boost the JC application rate in 2024 for those piggies born in 2007.

Your daughter, born in year 2007, is not affected in any way, where her A level computation points are concerned.
