[quote=\"godiva\"]My son is Sec 3 in Hwa Chong Institution.


He has signed up to take Chinese O level paper in Nov this year (end of Sec 3).

u mean at HCI, there is an option to choose to take O level Chinese at end of yr3 ??

Yes, the boys all take HCL instead of CL...[/quote]ya, i know that the boys there all are taking HCL instead of CL,
so why is there a need for taking O lvl CL at yr 3?? (or is that what u're asking?? )

According to MOE website,
http://www.moe.gov.sg/education/admissions/jae/files/jae-booklet-section-4.pdf

English as 1st Lang is a must for Poly entry, unlike JC which you can use HCL to replace EL.

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.

Useful to do Higher Chinese if you plan to do the following courses in NP
Diploma in Chinese Studies (N70)
Diploma in Chinese Media & Communication (N88)

The criteria is:

-You have to be in the top 10% of your primary school PSLE results.
-Be in the 11-30% range of your primary school PSLE results with either an A* in CL or Merit in HCL.

Yes you can take HCL in sec school even if you haven't taken it in primary school. You just need to have scored at least an A in CL and be in the top can't remember percent in PSLE.
