Networking Group - JCs General

Not sure where to pose this question but ds wants to know - for MS O level students entering IP JCs, will they be at a disadvantage when they enter in Feb? I am assuming that they will enter in Feb after obtaining their O level results in Jan.


Will they be able to catch up with existing IP students?

For chemistry, dd's jc ip classmates seem to have learn some stuff in their Secondary sch. But not too difficult to catch up. Though the ip students started school a few weeks earlier, not much academic stuff went on. More of cca recruitment, subject combi talks etc.

yeah, my JC said that they weren't allowed to start lessons before the O level kids entered, so there were a few lectures but they were either introductory lectures or revision lectures (for those who didn't score well in Year 4). No new content until the O level kids joined.

Parents of JC1 students,


SAT test seats are stll available in SG for DEc-6 international testing. It won’t require much preparation , if you are good at English. Maths section is easy… Also you will need it more , if your ward is apply for Arts courses in UNI .

Hi to all kiasuparents,


It has been about 6 to 7 years since I joined this forum. Time flies and tomorrow would be my dd’s last day in RV. Just want to say thank you to all parents of this forum who have provided valuable advices and those who share the learning and growing journey of their children. I have achieved a lot through your contribution.

This is a wonderful site and hope it can continue to grow and help many clueless parents on the journey of their children’s school life.

Cheers …
