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 all,


It's decision time! My DD has got an offer from VJC & EJC. Happy & confused Sometimes, it's too difficult to make a decision. Can someone please please share some of your thoughts.

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 in sec sch very difficult :rotflmao:

my DD
pri sch chinese A, hcl +2. - 0 tuition
sec sch chinese A2, hcl F9 :rotflmao: - 0 tuition
jc H1 chinese D - 0 tuition

my DS
pri sch chinese very low A(fake A :rotflmao: ). SA1, prilim 50+- (p5 CA1 30+) - free tuition
sec sch chinese C6 - 0 tuition
jc H1 chinese D - 0 tuition[/quote]

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

For those whose kids are planning to take A level Econs, or want to investigate Econs, I have an old Econs A level textbook to give away (details below). It's a clean, used copy.

https://books.google.com.sg/books/about/Economics.html?id=kZm-MgEACAAJ&redir_esc=y

NOTE: It's the 8th edition (2012), and the latest edition is the 10th (2018).

My daughter took H2 and H3 Econs, but hardly used the book at all as JCs give lots of notes and readings already. It was more for security! She's finally clearing it out as she's starting her final year in university and is sure she will not look at it again. It might be useful for a student who isn't sure whether to take Econs or not, or just wants to read a bit in advance. The basics will be OK, but some examples may be out of date, I guess.

PM me if you want it. Self-collect at Queenstown MRT, day and time to be arranged.
