However, ranking of JCs is not important. Don't be so up-tight about ranking of JC

What's important is :
your child must do well at \"A\" level, particularly if he / she is from an IP Secondary school.

Eg
One may be from a Top JC.
But what's the point, if amongst the GCE \"A\" level cohort inside the Top JC , one end up performing badly (for whatever reasons that cause it), ending up with some C and D, at A level ?

phtthp:

Don't think 5th is Temasek Junior College


Dunman High is very strong

4th (as of today) : can be Dunman High or National Junior College

Nanyang Junior College :
although not yet within Top 5, but is catching up, fast


Eunoia JC, still relatively new today, compared to other many-years of established JCs.
But give her another 5 to 10 years from now : possible to be ranked within Top 5, one day in future.
Eunoia has this potential

Some sec schools have affiliations with JCs, so they get bonus points of 2 deducted from their L1R5. For eg., Catholic sec schools have bonus points to CJC, and MGS and ACS have affiliation points to ACJC. But note, they do not have affiliation points to ACSI.

Also note that the max bonus points you can deduct is 4 bonus points. So lowest point you can score is 2, not 0. Although there is one special circumstance where you can deduct to 0 but I can't remember the details of.

Thanks for the clarification.

By the way, MGS IP is direct route to ACSI, right?

For the MGS O level route, will go ACJC ?

6 subjects all A1 = 6 points.

Less 2 points HCL = 4 points.
Less 2 ponts CCA A1 = 2 points.
Less 2 points affiliation = 0 points.

What does affiliation mean?

L1: EL or HCL

R5: Compulsory one math/science AND one humanities subject, the other 3 can be science/math/humans/chinese etc

However if you use HCL as your L1 you do not get to -2 from your L1R5. If you use HCL as your L1 you also CANNOT use Chinese in your R5.

I know for sure that it's not true. I have many PRC friends who didn't get A1 for english, but got A1 for HCL, so they used HCL as L1, and got L1R5 of 2 nett. I took O levels last year, so this is not some truth that applied only to some dinosaur years ago.

Hi, would like to check from where you get the info \"if you use HCL as your L1 you do not get to -2 from your L1R5\" ?

Thanks.
