According to the VP of a secondary school, you can use HMT as your L1 and still get the two bonus points. However, in this case, you can't use Normal Mother Tongue grade in your R5. To include your Normal Mother Tongue grade in your R5, you can only use English as your L1.

So, as long as you pass your HMT paper, you get your bonus point.

OMG, is it right? All along I have the impression that you enjoy the 2 bonus points if your L1 is English and not HMT. Aiyoh now then I know after my kids have completed their Secondary education.

In this case, PRC students have a clear advantage over our local students since they are stronger in Chinese.

Thanks for the clarification.

My DD is in JC2 this year. Last year, she didnt perform to her satisfaction. Let’s hope our DD is mentally well charge after the long school holiday!

Congratulations! If your L1R5 nett is 7, I think that it is tough to enter HCI because the COP is 4 for both science and arts. Do you mean L1R5 of 7 raw? In that case what is your nett L1R5?

my nett is 3 but I'm wondering if I'll be able to enter since there might be a chance that the COP for science drops back to three.

I am sorry to provide any comparisons, I have fears of doing so after seeing the reactions in the NYJC thread: https://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=68179&start=370

All I can help is to make a rational decision and go with the facts. Good Luck!
