[quote=\"DoDo Bird\"]Any students or parent can help to explain the different between the Humanities Programme (HP) and the Arts Stream in RI (JC) ?

Humanities Programme are MOE special programs for academically able students with the ability and interest to study the Humanities subjects at the pre-university level.
Students in the Arts stream do not study any H2 Science subjects in RI.
Students in humanities program are also Arts students.

So other than being in the MOE special program there isn't any different ?[/quote]You can think of the Humanities program as a gifted program that you need to compete to get in. Not everyone can get in. It is highly regarded in the Arts stream.

Thank you very much. All the best for your DD !

Hi, I have 26 of the above P6 ERP books that I wish to sell in a single bundle.
If you are interested, please PM me for the list of titles.
Thanks.

Can anybody help to post the current ERP booklists? Thanks.

I have quite a number of ds ERP books to sell but I do not know which level they belong to or whether they are relevant now.

[quote=\"zbear\"]I noticed that for JCs, the L1R5 for JAE admission is grouped to either Science or Arts.


May I know what subjects fall under Science n Arts? What if you want to take half Science/half Arts, do all JCs have such combi or is it strictly Science or Arts.

There is no such thing as half science/half Arts. You apply for ARTs under JAE, you are not allowed to take Math & One more science subject. You have to select three subjects from Econs, Litrature, History, Geogrophy, ELL etc.

There are cases last year where they applied to ARTs & want to take 2 subject of science & have to go to JC & request trasnfer to science

Actually, for Arts stream, some JCs (like CJC & ACJC) will stipulate that you can take no more than 3 academic units of Science subjects. That is, you can take one H2 Science & one H1 Science, plus 2 H2 Arts subjects. So it is not correct to say that you HAVE to select three Arts subjects if you are in the Arts stream. You can select 3 Arts subjects or 2 Arts and 2 Science, so long as you don't exceed 3 AUs for Science.

This link will show you the possible subject combinations at CJC: http://www.cjc.edu.sg/cos/o.x?c=/wbn/pa ... id=1081781[/quote]

Some JCs classify Science students as those who takes at least 1 H2 Science subject. So if you take H2 Math and H2 Chemistry plus 2 other H2 Arts subject, you are still considered as Science student when you apply in JAE.

If you do not take H2 Maths, you will encounter difficulty in H2 Chem, especially in physical chemistry topics that require more in depth math manipulations.

Also better to check out uni course prerequisites as I think not taking at least 2 H2 math and sciences will not allow you to study science.
