I am also wondering what third language does sst offer cos my child is eligible for it.

Lastly, do you think going for third language or higher chinese is better?

Both have 2 points concession for o level if pass.

you are mistaken

Not everything got 2 points concession for O level


1)

If you clear O-level Higher Chinese, you get 2 discount points for your L1R5. This is correct


2)

But,

if you take 3rd foreign language (Japanese / French / German / Spanish) at O-level,

you don't get any discount point whatsoever



3)

But,
If you take MSP or CSP at O-level, you get 2 discount points for your L1R5.

Singapore wish to encourage more Secondary school pupils, to learn MSP / CSP


MSP : Malay special programme

CSP : Chinese special programme


more info available here, on MSP / CSP
