      For kids who didn't take hcl in pri sch, can they take up hcl in sec sch if they get good results for psle overall and OK for Chinese?

      For kids who didn't take hcl in sec sch, can they go sap sch jc after o level if they meet the cut off criteria? Like RV etc
      For the 1st qtn, I think it depends on the school. We have a classmate who drop hcl in p5 but doing hcl in DHS now.

        Not sure how the sec 1 posting exercise work with criteria of Chinese or hcl grades considered, for non borderline cases. For those kids who scored exactly the same as the cop, I can understand.

                  Hi too, Singkiasu, Congrats!!!

                  I've a JC1 kid, even though he made his own decisions, these were some aspects I had researched... to start off...
                  (1) Is there any subject or subject combination which your dd prefers (the individual colleges have published some related info on their websites)?

                  (2) How are the colleges' promotional criteria or JC2 subject criteria (for instance, would the student be made to drop a subject if certain grades are not met at the end of JC1, which I'd use to gauge how supportive the college is towards students who are not performing that well, how about qualifying for H3 subjects)?

                  Congratulations once again!

                    Thank you! But we are facing a huge dilemma on which school to choose. We are weighing the pros and cons but we are still indecisive on which school to choose.

                      Congratulations once again![/quote]Thanks. Yes! I've asked my DD to make her own decision. Analyse pros & cons(esp. distance & culture)Regarding academic rigour both are in the same boat. Will look into the two points, which you've shared. Thank you once again :salute:

                        HCL's bar is innately high by local standards because it is meant to test locals' ability and proficiency at the native speaker level.
