[quote=\"julongmum\"]Hi all,

Wish to know the ranking of our JC/IP/Pre-U here. What's the % of their students eligible for local government Uni? Appreciate yr input

University Entrance 2008

NUS, NTU, SMU total 14,700 places
University applications = 58,606
From A level students = 36,858
From polytechnic graduates = 21,748
% of applicants to university = 25.08% only

Courtesy of http://www.hometutors.sg

Total number of 'A' Level graduates from Singapore is definitely less than 36,858[/quote]It is very common for SG guys to apply more than one time during NS hence the number includes grads from more than one a level batch.

[concerned mom]

But 38000 is more than double one batch?? Perhaps it’s because many apply for more than one uni and one course, so lots of double counting. What many poly students are there ? Just looking physical pax , percentage that gain entry from each cohort more like 70% ??

I suggest that parents check with their child's school or MOE website on all the L1R5 computation. Some postings here are not correct.


Please refer to this link for the Joint Admissions Exercise 2013 information booklet, which will be issued to students seeking admission to Junior Colleges, Millennia Institute, Polytechnics and Institute of Technical Education in 2013.

http://www.moe.gov.sg/education/admissions/jae/files/jae-info.pdf

1) Please refer to page 4, table 1 on the \"Computation of Bonus Points Available\".

2) Please refer to page 25, table 6 on the \"Aggregate Types Computation Criteria\".

As seen on page 27 >> Grades for both Higher Mother Tongue Language (viz. Higher Chinese, Higher Malay and Higher Tamil) and Mother Tongue Language (viz. Chinese, Malay and Tamil) cannot be used in the same aggregate computation.

Cheers.

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.

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.

I've only heard it from teachers and students, so I don't have any hard evidence to back it up.

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.
