      Does that mean if you get A1 in English & A1 in Chinese, you can only use one of them to count towards JC entrance ?


      Thanks

        May I summarise the above info given so far with regard to JC entrance:

        A) L1R5
        L1 = English or HCL
        R5 = Best related 5 subjects, including CL

        B) Bonus points
        2 points from LEAPS (prefect, CCA, CIP etc. must be 21 pts n above over 4 yrs)
        2 points from obtaining C6-A1 in both HCL and English

          Thanks, is there a max points (or cap) that can be deducted ?

                [quote]foreign lang can only count as 1 of the R5 subjects not as a bonus point. Max bonus point is 4, as wat cjs said. You get to minus 2 points only if you score a1-c6 in both HCL and EL.[/quote]As mentioned by Mathsparks, max bonus is 4 pts.

                Can be 1L = HCL and
                one of R5 = CL?[/quote]I'm not sure. can someone comment? Mathsparks, CJS??

                  I'm not sure. can someone comment? Mathsparks, CJS??[/quote]HCL is consider as L1, which means if you take higher chinese, and do better than english, yr HCL score is used for L1.

                  To summarise, if both Eng and HCL score between A1 and C6, you can minus 2 bonus points. But the lower of either Eng or HCL is used in the computation of the L1 part of the L1R5.

                  And HCL is not part of the R5 subjects at all.

                    You can use both. But if you do HCL, then either Eng or yr HCL score goes towards the L1 portion of the L1R5 score.

                      Yes, 2 chinese subjects and both can be used. But if your Eng score is better than HCL, of course Eng. score wld be used instead.

                        If one puts HCL as L1, he can also put CL as one of the R5, is that correct?
