Thank you very much Luvpsalm! I hope she does too. As a parent i can only motivate her and pray that she maintains her mental well being whilst going through the rigour of jc life. In God we trust.

Hi does anyone know if ijc students are offered the psychometric test and if yes is it only a selected few?


TIA

luvpsalm, GOOD LUCK and All The Best to your DS results tomorrow.


May he get what he hoped for!!! :xedfingers:

I bet both you and DS can't sleep tonight.

PS - I couldn't when waiting for my DD's results!!!

Hi zbear, I didn't have time to touch my laptop until now.

Thanks a lot for your well-wishes.

Hahaha...I slept like a log the day before the release of result as my job was so hectic recently but DS seemed to be busy on his mobile that night.

Ok, about ijc performance for 2016 batch. The principal didn't reveal any stats this year but focused on the next steps to take after the A levels and also honoured those with perfect rp of 90 and those above 80.

I am glad that DS will (most likely) be able to pursue his ideal course based on the local university admission criteria.

Apparently, his individual subject result was a jump of 2 to 4 grades from his prelim's and it is typical among his classmates.
DS said his FT and co-FT were all smiles while distributing their result slips.

Once again, thank you very much to all the staff of IJC for your hard work!

zbear, all the very best to your DS come next year. That should be your last sleepless night!

Hi luvpsalm
:congrats: to your DS! My DD is in ijc year 1 this year. It helps to see such encouraging comments on ijc's performance. Did the principal flash out the names of those who scored more than 80? Do you know roughly how many students received 80 and above? T I A

Hi

Can someone guide me as to where I can get information on the percentage/number of students from each jc entering our local universities please? TIA.

Dear jtoh,

My dd just got her confirmation for Sec 3 subject combi, she will be taking Pure Bio, Pure Chem, A and E Math, Core Lit, ss/Geog and HMTL. To be frank, I was not aware that certain jcs require you to have taken Biology in upper sec, can you kindly help to list which are the jcs that require Bio? I am now petrified as I initially had hoped that she would get Pure Physics, also , will taking Core lit give her a chance to try for Humanities program? thanking you in advance.

To laughoutloudyolo, I suggest you check with each JC on their requirements. Different JCs have different criteria.

For Yishun JC, if you want to do H2 Biology, you need >>
a) Pass in Pure Biology and, either Pure Chemistry or Science(Chemistry)


OR
b) Distinction in Science (Biology/Physics) and a pass in Pure Chemistry
OR
c) Distinction in Science (Biology/Chemistry)

*Students who wish to offer the subject but do not meet the above requirement will need to attend an interview/test by SH/Biology and/or HOD/Science.

For Anderson JC,
H2 Physics, H2 Chemistry or H2 Biology
Should preferably have obtained:
a) B3 or better in the respective pure science subjects, OR
b) A2 or better in the relevant combined science subjects

:thankyou: Koguma, I will do as advised.

Hi, :?: anyone can recommend good Pure literature tutor who can handle Lord of the flies and Death of a Salesman? Pls pm me. TIA.

[quote=\"Lilo\"]This subject combination and streaming thing is so difficult and so frustrating...We are torn between Core History or Core Lit. Thanks to all who have shared your DC choices.

Hmm sounds like my DD's case.
In the end she is giving up Bio and deciding to take double science (pure physics and pure chem) and double humans (lit and history). Her logic is that she can always take bio in year 5 if she wants to - not a prerequisite as compared to physics and chem.

Better check that out with the JC she intends to go to because the JCs I'm familiar with all require you to have taken Biology in upper sec if you want to take it in JC.[/quote]Dear jtoh,
