      May I know is it the case one can only accept one offer, if the boy applies both government/private bonded scholarship and university unbonded scholarship? And if he doesn't apply this year, can he still apply next year?
      Only 1, unless got 2 kids

      Both my kids got 1 only, 1 + 1 = 2 😄

      Take a look at NUS -
      Mother Tongue Language (MTL) Requirement
      Meet the Mother Tongue Language (MTL) requirement for admission by having one of the following*:

      Minimum of D7 for the higher MTL paper taken at the 'O' Level examination.
      Minimum of ‘S’/ ‘D7’ grade for the H1/‘AO Level’ MTL paper or General Studies in Chinese.
      Minimum of 'S'/‘O’ grade for the H2/‘A Level’ MTLL paper taken at the 'A' Level examination.
      Pass in the MTL 'B' Syllabus paper at the 'A' Level examination.
      Source- https://nus.edu.sg/oam/apply-to-nus/singapore-cambridge-gce-a-level/admissions-requirements


      The benefits of take HCL -
      Secondary students who took Higher Chinese at O Levels are exempted from taking Mother Tongue if they progress to Junior College. Students who didn’t take Higher Chinese are required to study Chinese as an additional subject for A-levels. i.e. H1 Chinese. Thus, these students who are exempted would have a lighter workload over the course of 2 years in Junior College..[/quote]
      H1 Chinese only 1 year 😄[/quote]
      H1 Chinese very easy 😄 , 2019 95.7% pass (Grade A - E). Grade 'S' sub-pass ??? %

      No offense but I wonder at the value of JC comparison. I have a child who went VJC and graduated with perfect As. Another child who just graduated from ASRJC and did 82.5.

      I also had friends whose dc went to jurong pioneer and Yishun innova JC and did 88.75 so my conclusion is, it is about the Individual drive to do well. All JCs will enable our child to do well for A levels if they are driven. Just my personal opinion and hope it gives hope to others whose kids are not in “top tier” JC. It doesn’t matter...
      Every school, a good school 😄
