Thanks Jennifer for your reply! My dd is pretty strong in her English, so she is finding LA pretty easy to cope, at least for now (her LA teacher also strongly recommended her to take Adv LA, provided she is interested). Adv Sci needs to have strong As for the past 2 years right? And has to be recommended by teacher also, right?
What subjects did your boy take in SH? Was he disadvantaged in Math and Sci then? -
He took the physics, chemistry, maths combi, with the other compulsory subjects GP, PW.
He also did a H3 research in SH.
Not too sure whether there r other subjects. -
He is pretty much a self learner. So he did not feel any disadvantage, just sometimes he felt bored during lesson time.
He spent quite a lot of time surfing the net for explanations, extra knowledge. -

Thanks for sharing! And did he also do Lit as H2 besides Physics, Chem and Math in SH (especially since he did Adv LA in JH3/4)? By the way, do you know whether NJC has some kind of cut-off based on JH4 results to be able to choose certain combi in SH? I heard some other IP schools impose a minimum GPA/MSG before allowing their students to take 4H2 (otherwise, can only take 3H2) for example.He is pretty much a self learner. So he did not feel any disadvantage, just sometimes he felt bored during lesson time.

He dropped Lit in SH.
No sure about the selection criteria, maybe the curriculum booklet has pages of information on it? -
Ok thanks, I’ll check the booklet.

hi,
I have a friend whose son sitting O level this year, considering National JC for \"A\" level, next year.
He wants to find out -
is it true that JAE (Joint Admission Exercise) students, who enter NJC after \"O\" :-
- their \"A\" classes are different from those of the IP students, who had entered at Sec 1, 4 years ago ?
- \"A\" level Teachers assigned to teach IP students : do not teach JAE students ?
ie. there are separate group of Teachers, teaching IP vs JAE students separately,
- \"A\" level Teachers assigned to teach JAE students : are less experienced than those teaching IP students ? -

The Student of the Year for last year A level cohort was a JAE student.
What matters most is the child's attitude.
With regards to the other logistics questions your friend might have, it would be good if he goes for open house and ask directly the school, rather than ask around friends and get outdated info or worse, incorrect info. -

Hello! To answer your questions directly:hi,
I have a friend whose son sitting O level this year, considering National JC for \"A\" level, next year.
He wants to find out -
is it true that JAE (Joint Admission Exercise) students, who enter NJC after \"O\" :-
- their \"A\" classes are different from those of the IP students, who had entered at Sec 1, 4 years ago ?
- \"A\" level Teachers assigned to teach IP students : do not teach JAE students ?
ie. there are separate group of Teachers, teaching IP vs JAE students separately,
- \"A\" level Teachers assigned to teach JAE students : are less experienced than those teaching IP students ?
- As of the 2016 batch of SH1s, the school is still maintaining the separation between the IP students and JAE students. There have been talks about integrating the form classes for years now, but nothing has changed since 3 years ago. The only common slot we share is during lectures, though subject combinations with lesser students and odd timetables (I suppose 'odd' would be a hybrid combination.) will see the students being put in the same subject (not form!) class. The JAE and IP students in the more common combinations (typical BCME, PCME, HELM etc) will pretty much be separated from each other throughout the two years.
- Teachers teach both IP and JAE classes. Though the segregation among students is quite obvious, please don't worry about the teachers favouring IP students-- I personally didn't know any SH teachers until last year, and I'm pretty sure they didn't know many people from the IP cohort too. To give you some peace of mind-- my Economics tutor has two JAE classes along with my class, my Mathematics tutor also has two (or three? I'm not too sure.) JAE classes along with my class under his belt. Teachers usually have more JAE classes than IP classes, simply because the class ratio of IP:JAE students is about 1:2.
I hope this helps!
