      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.

                      ooptimizer:
                      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?

                        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.
