No open house for Singapore Chinese Girls’ School?

It was on 11 Nov. http://eunoiajc.moe.edu.sg/2017-jip-open-house/

If u want can visit Eunoia JC one in Jan next yr to ask if u r particularly interested in the IP.

Anw can see fm here that there is a balance between the Arts ,SAP and the Sciences, since ALP is whole level thing.

little twin starz:

Hi all, my gal has T-score of 238+1 which is 1 point below the COP for this year. Based on your experience, can you share with me on the probability of her getting a seat if we place CCHSM as first choice? Appreciate hearing from you soon! Thanks lots

U never know whether COP will rise or drop. (its purely demand and supply issue).

No harm trying as long as ur 2nd choice u put the school dat u will want to go if CCHM cannot, and definitely can get in (meaning ur DD's T-score higher than COP by at least 4 pts). ATB!

zbear:

sunshine2005:

Can 241 score try for CCHMS ? Or Nan hua High

Nan hua is closer home but CCHMS we hear good things?

Nan Hua is 243 n closer to home.

Won’t it be better to try Nan Hua first n CCHMS 2nd?

I think Nan Hua is also a good School n you can save time on travelling.

Yeah agree, no point travelling to the east from the west, only make the kids more tired. Look into North East if u happen live in the north part.

Hi!

I am a graduating CLEP student. My A Lvl paper for H2CLL 文学 is tmr :faint: (~~ I m just taking a break and saw this haha ;p)

:thankyou: @Eddisema, Weirddad, MlyC

Does anyone happen to know what are the cases where \"U-turn\" is allowed for students already took A Levels to retake A Levels again the following yr and repeat JC2? Does retaking A Level require every single subject to be retaken? The criteria I suppose should be the same for all schs bah since is under national exams?


Though it is not immediately relevant to me but just curious to know more about the JC system. SEAB and JCs don't really offer these info readily :scratchhead: (perhaps is not advised?)

Thanks!

Retaking A-levels

Retaking the A-levels is never a popular choice. A majority of students who perform badly might want to retake A-levels in their respective JCs. However, to be eligible for that, one MUST fail a H2 subject or GP. For the majority of us that do not get into NUS/NTU/SMU/SUTD/SIT, our grades do not meet the criteria. We score CDD/C or DDD/D or even EEE/E. None of these scores are fail grades, hence, we technically pass the A-levels and are not eligible to repeat JC year 2. But these grades are also not good enough for the respective universities. So for those of us in this grey area, we have little choice but to re-take our A-levels as a private candidate.

As a reminder, GP and 3H2 must be taken in a SINGLE sitting. Your MT, PW and your contrasting H1 subject can be on a different sitting.

Retaking during NS is a popular choice amongst most guys. The problem is, for science students, your SPA practical results are only preserved for 1 year. Meaning that if you do wish to retake, you must do so the immediate following year. This might pose a problem for most guys since your first year of NS is the most ‘shiong’ due to things like BMT, SISPEC and OCS. For clerks and storemen, I would recommend that you retake your A-levels right away since you do not have these.

For the rest, you might want to consider retaking in your second year of NS. This means that you will have to sit for another practical exam for your science subjects. For most of us in our second year in permanent units, book outs become more frequent and you will have much more free time in camp to study as well. Don’t let the 2 years of NS go to waste. I’ve seen some of my peers bring their A-level notes up to Mount Biang in Brunei to study in the jungle and still make it to NUS in the end. If there’s a will, there is a way.

For those of you who decide to retake outside of NS or for those who do not have NS at all, you might want to consider going to a private school. MDIS provides A-level courses and it also provides lab sessions for those who need to retake their science practical. However, if you feel that you do not want to waste time travelling to and from school, you can consider private tutors as well. Just don’t blow up your kitchen trying to make a makeshift chemistry lab.

Thanks!

There have been cases of U-Turn for special conditions such as loss of loved ones during the A Levels period, critical health conditions during the A Level Period etc.

Oh icic... so if the A lvl results turn out not satisfactory (like cant make it into uni courses) but no special consideration is likely only can retake as private candidate?
