dropping of subject...
-
im currently taking 4 H2s.
Bio. Chem. Geog. Maths.
thinking of dropping one of them to a H1.
most probably it's chem.
if I wanna take psychology in future, it's okay to drop my chem to H1 right? -
taking psychology u need science rite?
-
hm. i've checked out the NUS website.Originally posted by selfobliged:taking psychology u need science rite?
they categorised Psychology under faculty of arts and social science.
not very sure too.
and their criteria for admission is "at least a pass in GCE O-level Mathematics".
so simple meh?
maybe they haven't updated the criteria bah?
after all, this year's jc1s and jc2s all under the revised A-level curriculum... -
My friend took Arts in JC, and managed to get in Psychology in NUS. But dropping a science subj is quite risky for me.
-
same here.
im hesitating lor.
but my chem is really CMI.
it's either to drop chem or maths for me.
to drop maths is more risky bah?
and further more, i think maths can be improved through practising.
whereas chem is more of understanding.
promos are coming.
one U-grade and i'm dead.
gotta drop one.
think im not cut out to take 4H2s.
and during my first 3 months, i didn't take bio and chem.
bio still has some hope.
but chem ah...
-

if you really must drop which i sort of don't advice, drop the chem. never drop maths. but then again, i rather drop bio than chem.....
-
drop bio, keep chemistry.

when there's a will, there's a way.
Have faith in yourself. Have faith in unclebutcher of Homework Forum -
agree... maths is very impt.. dont drop it..
-
psych in NUS only need Add maths..to have e basics for learning stats modules..
however, it'd be e best if u dun drop any subjects..
cos if there is a change of mind, at least u are not closing doors to urself..u still have e same amt of choices as before.. -
say, if i only have a H1 chem.
and i took a course that requires H2 chemistry in future.
there should be some sort of bridging course?
i really need to drop one subject to H1.
cause my results really suck.
if i drop chem, i will have more time, that's what my teacher told me.
since i do not need to attend practical sessions.
she's strongly suggests that i drop one subject to a H1.
and she asks me to decide asap.
sigh. don't know what to do.
my maths and chem are equally bad. -
Or get a good tutor to help you in both. It helps... but the effect will only be very strong if you are hardworking as well.Originally posted by viopurp:say, if i only have a H1 chem.

if its a choice between the 2 then i suggest chem cos as said maths opens alot more doors.Originally posted by viopurp:say, if i only have a H1 chem.

on the other hand, you might want to talk to your subject teachers for the 2 subjects and ask their opinion. -
if you are commited to taking a major in psyh, then there is not science requirements in the 3 local universites. However, there is a maths requirement as psych, believe it or not, actually requires quite a fair bit of maths.
My suggestion is that since you're in J1, try to hold on to all your H2 subjects on hand. And try to brush up your weak areas in Chem during the upcoming holidays... always believe that you can improve.
Cheers and happy studying -
Think twice before deciding to take up psychology in Singapore. You won't go far with just a degree. Probably need to go overseas to study for a master.

as much as i would love to hold on to my 4 H2s.Originally posted by sir sickolot II:if you are commited to taking a major in psyh, then there is not science requirements in the 3 local universites.

but i doubt i can improve my chemistry in such a short period of time.
since i have other subjects to brush up on as well.
such as Maths. and my Bio can only manage a mere borderline pass.
time is not on my side.
if i hold on to my H2 chem and i got a U-grade in my promos.
then i'm gonna get retained even if my other subjects get acceptable results.
better not to take the risk huh?
i tried to talk about it with my parents and they said it's up to me to decide since they are also not clear about the education standards nowadays.
tried to talk to my subject teachers and they are all suggesting that i should drop a subject to H1 so that i will have more time to prepare for my promos.
they said i'm greatly disadvantaged since i didn't take bio and chem during my first three months. and i'm weak in chem and maths all along since secondary schools. and my mid-year results are worrying. and there's so little time left.
part of me don't want to drop any subjects since all my friends seem to be coping well with theirs. but i know my own capabilities. sigh.
now the question is whether to drop maths or to drop chem. -
hi, which JC are you in? have u checked the promotional criteria for 4 H2s? i'm taking 4 H2's too, and over here at cjc it's a minimum of all C's for H2 and a pass(E) for GP.
just drop geog ,imo. useless subject. -

yea. the minimum promotional criteria is E for at least one subject, then the rest must be at least a S.
if you really get this kind of result, the teacher will look at your overall performances in school including daily work then decide whether you should be promoted eventually.
The teacher was like saying "don't think you can pass the promos easily because of that. most students do way better than that. we will raise the criteria if a lot of students do very well."
haha. i can't drop geog.
it's one of my better subjects.
need it ah. LOL.
the teacher already starting to chase me for the subject dropping form.
decided to drop my chem to H1.
hm. can do away with SPA.
more time to chiong other subjects. -
well good luck for your promos. i need it too.
-
haha jiayou then!
chiong ahh! -
that's a pretty stiff standard to attain all C's for H2 subjects. In my time ( albeit a different JC) chasing Donkeys and Elephants were pretty much the norm.Originally posted by unclebutcher:hi, which JC are you in? have u checked the promotional criteria for 4 H2s? i'm taking 4 H2's too, and over here at cjc it's a minimum of all C's for H2 and a pass(E) for GP.
