Need help for JC Subj Conbination!
-
Hi guys! Had recently joined this forum...
I'm abit confused as to which Subjects i should choose.
I'm in the science/maths stream btw.
So I have to choose 3 H2 1 H1 subj.. H2 Chem & H2 Maths are fine with me...
Does anyone take Physics H2? Is it difficult?
How about H1/2 Literature?
And how is Economics like?
I don't take Bio in secondary days... so I guess it's absurd to choose that. And Physics is a killer for secondary! I'm realli realli confused ~_~
Btw, can someone enlighten me as to what are the different level of maths in JC?? -
what are the H1,2 ,3??
me old le dunno all those.
maths all very easy one just take all you can
.
anyway try to think of what you want to do.
i assume you go jc then wanna go uni. so think of what uni course you want to be in and take subjects according to that.
if you want engin then you go and take physics and maths.
if you want life sciences then chem, bio..... -
lolx.. Sry. H1,H2,H3 they are the new A lvl syllabus...
Previously it should be someting like AO, A, and S.
I'm planning to go to the business route...
But all JC's (except MI) don't offer Principles of Accounting or Management of Business... -
hmmz then maybe you want to try taking econs lor. and/or take those arts/english-intensive/smoking modules. cos i understand business need to throw alot of smoke bombsOriginally posted by iPeace:lolx.. Sry. H1,H2,H3 they are the new A lvl syllabus...

lol... okay. Thx alot ^.^ It realli helped

Physics is not thata difficult actually. Well since you said you taking business in the future, I think you should take H2 Maths Chem Econs H1 Phy or any other art subjects. For me mine Is Maths chem phy. If you can handle econs u can try H2 econs which I think i will die.
-
Literature is the best.
Take it. -
For economics, better for u to take H2 ... cos i heard while they dropped some topics in H1, H1 econs students are taught everything, cos knowlegde is needed in later topics ...
-
hehx..why not 4 H2 subjects? =P PCME. phys chem maths and econs. i took this subj combi, but is H1 phy. phy is actually very simple, jus as long as u noe the concepts. econs quite diff, cos its a new subj, u'd need to grasp the concepts well, else essay quite hard to score le..unless u tyco anyhow write oso correct.
aniwae, the thing is, mus get tuition in JC... or at least find teacher for consultation. and MUST do tutorials...-nods-find a studying partner in JC.. else u'd get distracted easily de.. -
I would recommend that you take Math, Econs, Physicc and Chemistry -- all of them at H2 level.
Economics is one of the more manageable contrasting subjects you can take, don't try to "stretch" yourself by taking History or Literature even if you think you will cope fine; you will suffer. I take H2 History and am grappling with the subject. Physics would be good, as is Biology (depending on your level of interest in the respective subjects). You can actually try taking H2 Biology since it's very similar to Chemistry (our syllabus is focused on molecular biology) and in many ways different from O Level Biology; I wouldn't discard that option actually.
Try not to take anything at H1 level as it wouldn't constitute a "real" subject. -
hmmm... thanks for all u guys suggestion.
Yea i shld drop the idea of taking Literature, because my command of English isn't exactly good.
Anyway, how long does it usually take after recieving A lvl results till you enter a University? (For females, that is.
) -
i would support econs as a contrasting subject too. as for whether to choose H1 or 2 im not sure as im not very familiar with this new system.
try to take H2 subjects as far as possible to enrich your study
-
A lvl results: end feb - begin march
University: august
abt 5+ months lor -
ty so much Hebu!!
So it's okay to choose 4 H2 Subjs ah? -
of cos its okay! got a quite a number of ppl in my sch taking 4H2 oso wad.haiyoh.
-
i give u an idea, ask the JC2... they will have better understanding of the subjects. I would totally advice u not to taking history as ur H1, its a killer ><Originally posted by iPeace:Hi guys! Had recently joined this forum...

so smart can go jc.
-
best is if u can take H2 for all subs
but if u can only 3H2 1H1, take econs as H1. At least u can still go business with H1 econs. You need H2 for sciences because H1 phy or chem is useless for entry into uni.
just my 2 cents worth. -
oh... I got it. Thanks for enlightening me!!
-
if you have a good memory or like memorising facts rather than trying to understand and practice complicated concepts, H2 bio is more or less a disgustingly easy A or B.
maybe the bio papers in my school are easy but most all my friends who take H2 bio got above C for their promos without a sweat.... even the lazy ones. -
just take the topics that u will do well in A level..........or else struck with a A level certi

More than half of the pupils usually fail in biology in my JC.Originally posted by aiglosicicle:if you have a good memory or like memorising facts rather than trying to understand and practice complicated concepts, H2 bio is more or less a disgustingly easy A or B.

thats because most of us slack like hell.Originally posted by RETARDED_MORON:More than half of the pupils usually fail in biology in my JC.

Because Bio need to memorize those very wordie meaning. As for chem it's more easier.Originally posted by RETARDED_MORON:More than half of the pupils usually fail in biology in my JC. -
hmm first off, which jc are you choosing to attend for your 1st 3 months? your 1st 3 months mean a lot to your year 1 life.. it's like a kickoff, when you start slow, your momentum and pace suffers for the rest of the year..
next, taking 3 h2s and 1 h1 or 4 h2s right? well to put it simply, your options are not closed at all.. it doesnt mean you cant take bio in jc when you didnt take it back in secondary school.. you CAN in fact take biology at h2 standard.. in fact, h2 and h1 have extremely little difference for the following subjects - chem bio phy hist geog.. in h1 for the mentioned subjects, you study the SAME stuff as h2 students, except that h2 students have around 20% more chapters compared to the h1 syllabus..
looking at your plea for help with subject combinations, i guess you have no goal for beyond jc? it's high time that you take a good look at yourself and plan ahead.. what subjects are required for you to take your desired module in university? do not think it would be just like the o lvls, when your subject grades add up to escort you to the college of your desires.. subjects count more in the a levels.. think well..
h3 is another issue.. for starters, you can only take h3 in your 2nd year at college, however, it is NOT an advantage to your certificate to have a h3 subject unless it's a good grade, which would help with your scores for a levels.. students who do not take h3 subjects share the same foothold as you when choosing university modules, unless the h3 subject you have chosen has DIRECT relevance to the module you have selected for university.. (e.g. h3 math --> math module or h3 economics --> economics module) it is not advised to pick a h3 subject, for travelling time and lesson timetables will cause you to miss lessons and many other factors would affect you.. it will be elaborated upon when you start school next year..
have you only one choice of 3 h2s and 1 h1? try taking 4 h2s at j1 standard.. i feel this way as i can see your difficulty in picking subjects.. having 4 h2s may help you understand better the hastened pace of jc education and the density of topics covered that'll prove rather different from secondary school.. you wont have much chances to ask questions in jc so do take notes diligently..
i suggest that you pick the popular choice - Phy Chem Math Econs, 4h2s.. physics is pretty much the same as back in secondary school.. if you find it too difficult, you can drop it to h1 standard or choose another subject combination after the 1st 3 months.. good luck next year alright? do mention which jc you have been allocated to for the 1st three months.. pretty sure the friendly ppl here who are in the same college as you would help you.. =)
