Hi everyone! Sorry if I have posted on the wrong thread, as I am new to KiasuParents. My DS is currently in JC1, studying in a school offering Chem, Physics, and Biology H3. He takes the subject combi of H2 Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and H1 Economics. Currently, he is doing very well in JC, and as such, we have decided to discuss about H3 subjects with him. I understand that it is still early to discuss about H3s in detail at this stage, and we have only given him a brief discription of what to expect. I feel very strongly that he should pursue H3 Physics at NUS and MOE H3 Proteomics, as he is extremely interested in these subjects, however, the H2 subject pre-requisites for H3 proteomics are H2 Biology and H2 Chemistry. Unfortunately, my DS does not offer H2 Biology as part of his subject combo. At the same time, I am also extremely confused with the current policies, as according to the HCI website on H3 Programmes (as of 2015), students are allowed to appeal for another H3 subject which they have not met the subject requirement, which in this case, is H3 Proteomics. Could someone please clarify with me on the current policies for offering H3 subjects? Thank you very much! Your help will be much appreciated!

:thankyou:

Note: I have also heard from DS that some of his seniors have managed to appeal for H3 Proteomics who have gone through the PCMe subject combi, but I am not sure if this is still possible. Could someone please confirm this? Thanks!

I agree.

But History is not popular with many students.

Why don't you ask those who will never want to take History?

Do u think otherwise?

Between Physics and Biology, which is the more useful subject to take?

It really depends on the student's interest and what he thinks he might want to pursue in university. If you look at the prerequisites for local uni admissions, more courses, especially the Engineering courses, ask for Physics than Biology. But if you're not interested in Engineering it really doesn't matter.

Thanks jtoh.


But will taking Physics without F Maths put a child at a disadvantage when it comes to admission to engineering courses?

I heard that 2015 PW result is released today. Please share the % of pupils who had gotten A or both A&B in your DC’s respective JC, if possible. TIA.
