Dear All


Hi, my friend’s niece (foreign student, 16-year-old, studying in a secondary school at East Coast) is looking for a female student room-mate to share a room with. The condo she is staying with is within walking distance (5 mins) from Victoria JC, and has direct bus number 12 to Temasek Junior College.

Any contacts please pm me, thank you.

Regards
Lindy Lee

If your friend's niece can't find a room mate, she may want to check up on Victoria Hall located next to Victoria Sch. It is opened to students studying in MOE Secondary Schools and Junior Colleges. It has teacher mentors to look after the boarders' well-being.

Hi, my DD is exploring doing this combination at A levels. Any comments?


H2: Literature, English Language and Linguistics (ELL), Econs and KI
H1: Math, PW, MT

Thanks!

KI is H2, if can’t cope cannot drop to H1


So assuming if need to drop one H2 to H1 in jc2, that is going to be very restricted - H1 Econ is 2/3 of H2 Econ, or drop lit or ell to H1…and what if don’t do well in KI?

She's planning to do the Humanities Programme?

My take on KI - The students taking KI would have gone through a selection process and would be the better students. That plus the small number taking the subject means you would be graded against other very strong students. If KI is graded on a curve, as are other A level subjects, this might affect the chances of getting an A. I could be wrong on it being graded on a curve.

Secondly, KI is not recognized by some overseas universities. As an H2 subject, it means the kid is effectively down to 3 H2 subjects during overseas uni applications. Something to bear in mind if you are considering studying overseas.

Since KI has specific areas of study, I personally feel that it is an easier paper than Gp. Part of the grade is comprised of an Independent Study, so the student has time to work on it for several months. Can get better than that for assessment. General Paper on the other hand is like the ocean - very vast.

Hi jtoh, DD is trying out for Humanities Programme at JC. She is rather certain about KI and Literature. But she was recently told that students on HP are not allowed to take ELL (reason being too much focus on English Language and Literature). If not allowed to take ELL, her choice of remaining H2 subject is limited - after eliminating those that she does not qualify and those that she is certain she does not want to do like H2 Math and Chinese-based courses (CLL, Translation). So thought of posting to this forum and explore whether is there such a restriction in other JCs.

Thanks for the additional information on KI and overseas universities admission. That is a minor consideration as we are most likely looking at local universities.
