  if your CCA record in secondary school is not good, but your academic results are good, will it affect your scholarship applications?
  
  thanks

  CCA record deters how much you participate in. If your CCA record is low, its hard for you to apply scholarships.

  Depend on which Scholarship you're applying for. Some is for Sports, Some is for Academic, Some is for both de.

  if you want scholarship. taking H3 and doing your SATs in jc is more important.
  
  my friend who wanted to apply for scholarships dropped her H3, and the teacher said she blew her chances.

  If your academic results are excellent, say you're top five in your JC, your co-curricular achievements are expendable. Try winning academic contests too, like essay writing competitions as well as math/science olympiads. Ultimately, they are looking for people who are good with books and examinations; the CCA criterion is simply there as a tiebreaker sort of thing, really.
