Triple Science and Double Science

[lapapillion]

Haha, those are the old days Used to have a science, arts and commerce stream Commerce is somehow merged into arts stream. These days, JC students have to take one 'cross faculty' subject i.e. if they are science students, they have to take a subject from the 'arts' (i use that word very liberally) like economics or lit at a lower level. It's the H1, H2 thingy lah haha

Actually DS is much easier if the 2nd science is physics since there is relatively lesser to study

jtoh:

Most JCs do not offer triple science. Students in the science stream do 2 science subjects + math + one contrasting subject (lit/history/geog/econs etc).

So your child doesn't lose out in doing double science in upper sec. The one advantage students doing trip sci in upper sec have is they can choose to do any 2 sci subjects in JC whereas a double sci student can only offer the two that he has done in upper sec.

You can move into commerce regardless of the stream you were in in upper sec.

If DS wants to study medicine in future, does he have to take chemistry or Biology for \"o' level?

Chemistry 'A' level is a prerequisite, so presumably Chemistry 'O' level is required.

Thank you!
