儿子现初二，昨天拿回初三选科的表格，is eligible for the triple science option taking the 8 or 9 subject combination. 我不知怎么选，选科后对他的上jc或大学会有影响吗？请指点，谢谢。
也正挠头中，过来人请多多指教，不胜感激！！！！！！
昨天学校开说明会，听得一头雾水。
我家老大的bio很强，其它各科也都很均衡，就数学弱点，所以很想给她避开Amath， 但按她自己选的好象Amath和Emath都要，这孩子真是不畏艰险啊。昨晚我竟然梦到数学成绩才20分，真是吓死我:L:'(:'(
好像两种数学都得选。
O水准的时候，不一定都算分。
看看下面这些：
How should I choose my child’s subject combination?
Ans: Understand your child’s subjects ofinterest. Choose based on his/her interest in the subjects and his/her aptitude to study those subjects. You have to bear in mind there are changes in thecourses offered by JCs. You can refer to Table 1 on the different depth of the three levels of study for a subject in JC. Table 2 shows subjects offered in JC and Table 3 for more information of the combination of the subjects in JCs.
How will the secondary school subject combination affect the selection of courses in JC?
Ans: In JC, the subject combination has changed since 2006. The new curriculum emphasises breadth of learning and flexibility, which is essential in a knowledge-based economy. Students are required to take Project Work and study at least one contrasting subject outside your area of specialization. Subjects have also been redesigned and pitched at three levels of study, so students have more combinations to choose from in their subject selection. Hence, a subject combination with a balance of Science and Humanities Subjects will prepare the student better for the A level subjects.
What are the criteria to promote toSecondary Three?
Ans: Students must obtain a pass in English and an overall average percentage of 50% of the total marks to be promoted to Secondary Three in the next year.
What are the subjects offered by the schooland the requirements to qualify for taking the subjects?
Ans: There are 6 compulsory subjects: English, Higher Chinese/Chinese, Mathematics, Additional Mathematics, Chemistry and Combined Humanities.
Students can choose to study additional:1 Science subject and 1 Humanities subject(recommended), OR2 Science subjects.
Students with high abilities can consider opting for 2 additional Science subjects and 1 Humanities subjects but subject to approval by school.
What are the elective subjects forSecondary Three? Are there any criteria for selecting the option?
Ans: The following are elective subjectswhich are offered to students based on the course option: Pure History Pure Geography Pure Biology Pure Physics Higher Art Literature in English Literature in Chinese
Can a student choose not to take PureChemistry in Secondary Three?
Ans: The school offers Pure Chemistry toall Secondary Three students so as to help them build a foundation for postsecondary education.
Is Biology a critical subject if a studentwants to study medicine?
Ans: Biology is not a pre-requisite for admission to the Faculty of Medicine in the National University of Singapore (NUS). Currently,Chemistry is the compulsory subject for admission to the medicine course.Please refer to the following website for more information http://www.nus.edu.sg/oam/apply/local/prerequisites/BYA-prerequisites.html#top
Is Combined Humanities compulsory?
Ans: It is compulsory for all students to take Combined Humanities. The subject comprises components of Social Studiesand elective History or elective Geography. If a student chooses elective Historyfor Combined Humanities, he cannot select Pure History as the 2nd Humanitiessubject. Similarly if he chooses elective Geography, Pure Geography cannot beselected as the 2nd Humanities subject
What are the criteria for choosing theelectives of Combined Humanities?
Ans: There are no pre-requisites forstudents in choosing the elective component. The school will take student’s option into consideration first following student’s performance in the relevant subject in Secondary 2.
What are the topics and examination formatsfor those non-compulsory subjects?
Ans: You can refer to the website of Singapore Examinations and Assessment Board on the latest syllabuses for the different subjects and examination formats for the non-compulsory subjects. Thewebsite is http://www.seab.gov.sg/
What is the maximum number of subjects thata student can study in Secondary Three?
Ans: All Secondary Three students by Schooltake eight subjects. For more academically inclined students or students who wish to continue with their third language, they can study up to nine subjects.For students who wish to take 10 subjects, they have to seek prior approval from the Ministry of Education.
If there are only a few students opting foran elective subject, will the school still offer the subject?
Ans: The school will consider students’ requests, individual ability, and availability of resources before offering the course so as to ensure the best educational outcomes for students.
Can my child make changes to the subjectcombination after the release of the results of the streaming process?
Ans: Students may submit application for appeal before the closing date in November. The school will review the appeals on a case-by-case basis.
数学竟然成了恶梦了。
虽然儿子读完了中四，也是不太清楚他怎么选的。基本上除英文华文以外一定要选一科人文，历史或者地理。儿子读了一年地理感觉很难考好，就换成历史了。
理科是在数理化生物里面选，儿子的英文弱，会影响到生物的学习，就选数理化三科了。
华中的数学就没有分A和E，应该是按照难的程度教的，四年级最后的考试的时候才象征性地列出一门Emath来考，不知内容有什么分别，怪的是儿子的Emath才拿A2，Amath倒拿A1。
到JC数学又不分了，那没有学Amath的会不会吃力呢？
下个星期去听JC的课程说明会，也是需要考虑怎么选A水准的科目了。
读O-LEVEL的选课应该要包括Amath，否则JC阶段不少学校不让选MATH H2了，而MATH H2成绩是申请许多大学理工类科系的Prerequisite，没有的话会申请无门的。
我女儿选的数理化，加地理，后来上jc， 不喜欢地理， 就换成经济学了， 老师说这种科目时最常见的。。
选科对上大学会有一定影响。请看NUS的Course Pre-requisites。

非常感谢各位！
千万要选A Maths，除非你想孩子将来读文科
我觉得吧我大闺女将来选文科的几率大些
请问，你的意思是在升初院时，O水准算分时，一定要把Amath算一科？Emath呢？
没说AMATH或EMATH一定要算分呀，是说初中没学AMATH，O-LEVEL没有AMATH成绩，到JC很可能不让选修MATH H2了。担心孩子数学成绩不够好的话，到时候数理化成绩选考好得好的算就是了，MOE发成绩单的时候，L1R5全都自动替你选最佳科目成绩算好的。
谢谢你的再次解答.
确实为孩子的数学成绩挠头.
就想能绕开就绕开.
她的其它成绩还好,
不想让她因为数学上不了好的初院.
一定要好好选，我女儿就是吃了这个亏！English, Higher Chinese, Maths, A Maths, Chemistry 和 Combined Humanities 这六科是必须要选的！另两门我们选的是Pure Biology, Literature in English! 要是当时选Pure History 而不选Literature in English就好了！女儿中二时History每次考试都是A，Literature in English考试只得过一次A，但我们想History没什么用，就建议孩子选了Literature in English！现在想来考试能得高分的科目才是最有用的科目啊！后悔啊后悔！:'(
好帖啊！对我们这些后来者无比宝贵的资讯和经验教训。有论坛真好！
不必太担心，按规定R5里至少要有一门人文科目，你孩子有English Lit 和 Combined Humanities 双保险呢，如果届时English Lit成绩不够好，只要把 Combined Humanities 考好也行的，反正可以选成绩好的那科算。
两个数学一定要选，其实很多孩子都是A math比E math成绩高。
我不建议在这个年龄放弃任何可以学的科目，孩子的兴趣可能会变，以后的学习志向也可能会改变，如果可以，拿3个科学。
科学如果实在3科都不能应付的话，建议去掉物理，因为跟数学关系最大。
如果觉得以后会选文科的话，只学E math的话，初院就拿H1 Math.
还是看看孩子读数学是不是很吃力，如果不是很吃力的话，还是尽量多拿学科吧。
我不知道我儿子当初是怎么选的，也不知道他为什么要那样选，我也不知道他选了些什么科目。我只知道他是读的理科。（我很惭愧）。
趁成绩册还在家里，我赶紧找来翻翻看：
1，Language Arts （B）
2，Higher Chinese （A）
3，Chemistry （A+）
4，Integrated Geography （A）
5，Mathematics 1 （A+）
6，Mathematics 2 （A+）
7，Physics （A+）
英语，高级华语，地理，化学，数学1应该是Math A，数学2应该是Math E？物理。为什么他有2个数学？
请J版点评一下。
我儿子的成绩册上不是写的A Math和E Math，而是Mathematics 1 （A+）和 Mathematics 2 （A+）。
那么哪个是A Math ,哪个是E Math呢？
我只知道我读书的时候有代数和几何
只选了7科吗
谢了，儿子很快要用的到了，保存了！
请问英国文学是学什么内容的？比如是要学英国的文学史，欣赏英国名著，或者。。。? 我女儿也选了这门课，忧心忡忡ING
惭愧！我也不大懂，好象就是学一些英国文学史，再加上对英国经典名著诗歌的赏析，听说得高分不容易！
受教了，先收藏以后用！
刚好看到一篇关于英国文学的文章，现在把它给贴出来，希望能帮到你.

大家好(: 听说大家想多了解一些关于English Literature这门课，我就尽量把自己学了3年以来的经历和大家分享一些。（个人想法，如果哪里说错什么的或是大家有不同看法请指出、谅解）
首先讲O level阶段的英国文学。当 时我不想选中国文学主要有2个原因。一，自己不是死记硬背的料，完全没有信心与其他优秀的中国学生竞争。二，都来新加坡了，还学中国文学干什么？当然应该 尽一切可能be more exposed to English culture. 我是克信的，然后当时学校还挺反对的。HOD给我了测试，然后让我学了，不过条件是如果中三期中考试还不能及格的话，就要drop，去学中国文学。我们当 时的课本是The Whale Rider（小说）, The Glass Menagerie （戏剧）,还有一本蓝色的Unseen Poetry and Prose。我们学校比较不同寻常一点，其他学校的学The Mocking Bird, Midsummer Night’s Dream的比较多。然后我们后面几届有学The Crucible, The Chrysalids之类……总之，不同学校可以自己选择教材（Cambridge会给书单）,但是都是一本小说，一本戏剧，再加Unseen（就是所谓 没有见过的诗歌或散文的赏析）。
O level的两个paper是这样的（都是closed-text考试）：
Paper1: 小说三选一，两道题是essay,一道是passage-based。（在下面会解释）再加上Unseen, 诗歌散文二选一。
Paper2: 戏剧三选二，两道essay题目选一道，passage-based是必答。
考 试时间我有一些记不得了。要么就是两个卷都是1个半小时，要么就是一个卷是一个半，另一个是1小时40分钟。一般要做到45分钟一题（essay问题是1 篇,大概3-4面foolscap; passage-based是2篇，大概每篇1.5面到2面；Unseen和passage-based一样）
Essay question 一般都挺短的，一两行而已。它想问什么就问什么。可以是人物的（恭喜你了，这是最容易答的），可以是主题的（也可以manage）,也可以是style的 （这到正式大考我绝对不建议你答，就是特别technique based，对语言要求太高了，挺难拿分的。不过平时练习什么的千万别逃，因为在Unseen里面是怎么都逃不掉的。一般在O Level级别不太会有题目涉及到两方面（在JC就很普遍了，唉……）所以如果看到合胃口的人物或是主题Essay问题，就选吧(:
Passage- based分两个小题。一定会有一道是考style的。但是它好的一点就是，整篇文章会提供给你，所以如果有些学弟学妹们实在很懒对课本熟悉度不高，但是 分析能力很强的话，说不定这类问题会帮助你拿高分。从我的经历来看，第一道都是给定范围，只能讲所给的段落，不能提到其他的章节。可是第二道是全书的。可 是它有一个弊端就是，所说总共写的量是差不多，可是毕竟是两篇文章。开头结尾中间各段的中心句都要思考，所以时间真的非常紧张……
我记得当时考O level的时候写了总共14面……手都抽了。最无语的是当年，早上Paper1 + paper2连着考不说，下午还有物理paper2… 唉真是不堪回首。不过拿了A1还是很开心的呵呵！
然后就是A level也就是初院阶段的English Lit了。我 好像觉得历年来中国学生在初院还学Lit的挺少的，我们这一届好像多一些~ 其实选课真的是看大家个人兴趣。我一直相信，只要真心喜欢一个科目，绝对绝对绝对是可以学好的！所以如果有学弟学妹对地理或是历史或者音乐或是美术有特别 的爱好，我的建议是：不要犹豫，GO FOR IT! 别担心自己的英语水平不高，甚至就算你在初中没有选那门课都没有关系。我一个室友对文科特别特别喜欢，她在RGS的时候没有选英国文学，现在在 Humanity Programme，第一次期中考试英国文学就拿了A，还上了Deans’ List! 不过她真的付出很多努力，实在是非常佩服她！所以我想说的是，只要你有足够的passion, 只要你坚定的相信你一定能学好，你就一定能学好！
我 当时选课其实很矛盾，一方面爸爸想让我学econs. 而且也是大众选择，算是比较安全的选择。可是我对经济完全没有兴趣，一心想学文学。当时还回克信找我的恩师(Mrs Rupa我爱她哈哈) 问说，如果我选了英国文学，跟得上么？然后当时她就告诉我，“Go for it! I always have faith in you!” (SO SWEET RIGHT?! ^^) 所以我就毅然决然的报了lit呵呵~
在初院，课本的选择就更多了。因为有很多份paper，有不同的主题。好像是paper1大家都必选的，另一份paper学校可以自己选。我们这届的是Paper5：Women in Lit. 当然不同于初中，初院的课本多了不少，难度也高了很多。
我 们两年要学的有：Wuthering Heights （呼啸山庄，小说）, Carol Ann Duffy: Selected Poems （现代诗），Oranges are not the only fruit （小说）, Housekeeping（小说）还有King Richard III （莎士比亚戏剧）。这是莱弗士Mainstream H2的书单，HP的很不一样，有学Disgrace, The importance of being earnest之类之类。所以学校选择余地真的挺多的。
我觉得在初院和初中的区别就是，在初院， 老师不会再帮你那么多（其实所有科目都是这样子的）。再加上要学的书量很多，不可能每页都go through. 很多时候都是一、两个chapter，让我们自己讨论，交流一些我们认为重要的值得分析的点。然后大家再一起分享，老师也会补充这样子。然后特别学呼啸山 庄这种Classics, 难度还是有一些的。人物性格都特别复杂，不再是以前那样会很好理解。比如像Heathcliff这个人物，真的是非常多面的（好吧，我有点扯远了）
具 体A level的考试结构我还不怎么清楚。确定的几点有：可以带书进考场，可以有下划线以及highlighting，不能有任何字（好像最多名字吧），也不 可以有折书或是贴那种标签。然后unseen当然也还是有的。时间依然和O level一样很紧张。格式貌似是差不多啦。我过后看一下一些学校的prelim卷子明白了再和大家交流。
J版真不愧是百科全书，谢谢，让女儿来学习了。
谢谢J版，我们明年就能用了，马上收藏，打印，给我女儿看。
今年中二的家长。学习了。
学习了！谢谢！
我的天，太涨姿势了。。。果断转发孩子参考。。。。谢谢谢谢
