What is L1R5?

[DadOfGirl]

Thank you. That’s the most probable scenario. It would be science subject. Student with bend towards humanities would just pass A-maths.


And Biology would be the one where they would put more effort to score A2.

Just trying ind last subject with A2 in order to score L1R5 below 8.

DadOfGirl:

The R5 \"Relevant 5 subjects\" must include:


one science/maths subject
one humanities subject
one science/maths or humanities subject
any other two subjects

So one can score very well in all his maths and science subjects but if he gets a bad grade in his humanities subject, he must still include it in the L1R5 computation

I found above on one of the KiasuParent forum. what about Students good in humanities & have been advices to drop A-maths, Physics.

Assuming they score ok in E-maths & uses it against \"one Maths/Science subject' , then can Mother tounge can be used against 'One Science/Maths or humanities subject' .

hi DadofGirl, Chinese cannot be counted as a Humanities subject nor Science/Maths.

Science - Combined Science/Physics/Chemistry/Biology
Maths - AMaths, EMaths, POA
Humanities - History, Geography, Lit., Economics, Combined Humans (SS & Geo/Lit/Hist)

Chinese falls under \"any 2 other subjects\" as with Computer Applications, D&T, F&N.

thank you breaking each down subjects under L1R3R2.

Can Chinese B syllabus be counted under the other 2 subjects?

Don't think so. Chinese B is easier compared to normal chinese. Will not be fair if counted under the other 2 subjects.

[jtoh]

Chinese B is not counted in the computation of L1R4. It’ll only be reflected as Pass, Fail, etc.

[FrekiWang]

chinese lit is counted as a human subject, chinese is not.

Can anyone pls advise me on this:


If my L1R5 is 11 pts and my net point is 11 - (2 bonus) = 9 pts,
and if another pupil’s L1R5 is 13 pts and his net point is 12 - (4 bonus point) = 8 pts;
Will I be given the priority to be admitted to that JC since my raw L1R5 points are lower or they will they only consider net points?

the one with the lower points (net) will get in first

that is why the bonus points there for

Even if you have the same nett points, the one with more bonus points will get the priority. Raw L1R5 is basically not taken into account for JC posting.
