Subject Combinations

SUBJECT COMBINATION ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA

4H2 SUBJECT COMBINATIONS

Students who wish to opt for 4H2 subjects MUST have attained L1R5 (excludes bonus points) of 12 points or less.

This L1R5 aggregate score MUST include strong O-Level grades in the relevant subjects offered.

Students who are eligible and keen to take a 4H2 subject combination must still indicate a 3H2 subject combination as one of their choices during subject registration.

Students may continue with four H2 subjects in JC2 if they obtain ‘C’ grade or better in all their H2 subjects in the JC1 Promotional Examination.

H3 SUBJECTS

Designed for outstanding students who have excelled academically, H3 subjects are offered to students after the JC1 Promotional Examinations. For students who would like to opt for a H3 subject, they MUST have offered it as a H2 subject.

Students must also demonstrate ability and passion for a particular subject and prove that they are able to manage the workload beyond the usual combination of subjects. Students will be recommended to take up H3 subjects based on their outstanding performance in all JC1 tests and examinations. In addition, recommendations by subject tutors on students’ passion and flair for the subject at the H2 level will be taken into consideration.

Merit Based Allocation

If a subject or subject combination is oversubscribed, students will be selected based on academic merit, including performance in relevant subject and L1R5 (excluding bonus points). Thus, the College may not be able to offer a subject to all the students who opted for it.

Indicative Grade Profiles

Based on trend data, the College has compiled some indicative cut-off points in the form of an Indicative Grade Profile to assist students in making an informed choice for subjects with subject pre-requisites or assumed knowledge.

Indicative grade profiles refers to the grades of students for their relevant GCE O-Level subjects. They may vary over time, depending on the number and grade performance of students, and the number of places available for the subject. Meeting the indicative grade profile does not guarantee that the student would be able to offer that subject.
