I heard from another friend PW grading can be quite subjective.

Heard fr gal tt there are both internal n external moderators...as well as 2 assessors fr MOE...
So it involves quite a few pple accessing the pupils' PW ....

Hi,


Can anyone advise what’s the benefit of studying H3 as a subject for the A level?

Mostly for scholarship applications. Or if you want to get a headstart before entering university. Its not really required for university admissions. A student with straight As with just 3H2/1H1 can still get into medicine and it won't be any easier for you just because you have a H3 or even 4H2.

Thanks for the info.

Can any parent whose DC did H3 share about their experience? With 4H2s & CCA commitment, is it tough doing H3, especially if have to travel to NUS for lectures & tutorials?


I recalled the principal mentioning doing H3 is not a prerequisite for scholarship application. How important is a H3 in scholarship application?

Thanks!

Still considering. We didn't give it much consideration because didn't want to be too presumptuous. Today promos results just released. She's only interested in 1. Anyway, not that she want can get it. Shall take this week to consider. Is your DD taking too?

normally how many H3 subjects can be taken? Or is one H3 subject already enough of killing ?

zeemimi, DD is very busy for these 2 weeks with PW. She has put side this matter until she is free to think.

So I also dont know if she plans to take up any H3 subject.
