Private candidates will be notified of their individual results by post. The result slips will be mailed on Jan 11, 2017 to the address provided by the candidates during the registration period, MOE and SEAB said.

Private candidates who are eligible for SingPass can also use their account to obtain their results online from 2pm on the same day.

Students who wish to apply for Junior Colleges, Millennia Institute, polytechnics or the Institute of Technical Education may do so through the Joint Admissions Exercise (JAE) using their GCE O-level examination results, MOE and SEAB said.

JAE registration will open from 3pm on Jan 11 to 4pm on Jan 16, MOE and SEAB said.

Honestly, the best person to ask is your own parents. They have probably been to JC before, or Poly or ITE.

Anyway, congratulations on competing secondary education.

Let your results determine where to go next.

Do not worry about whether or not the course "got future", because all got future.

The Poly and ITE courses are created because they need people to do the job.

The JC courses (subject combinations) are created because the JC principal and teachers know which subject combinations can guarantee a place in our local university.

As much as possible, follow your interest.

But if the marks cannot make it, never mind. Just choose the courses that you can qualify.

All the best.

there is really no best place bcos each individual is suited for diff environment and progression

some people may have to take the longer route, but if it leads u to a better place, it's still worth it

AidenChan SG

Hey guys, can i have some suggestions from you? Im Currently in Sec 5 and Last year 4N(A) (2016) I just got my results and got A1 for Chinese and A2 for Math. My N Level result in 2 Grade 1s (Chi/Math) and 4 Grade 2s. CCA Grade is A1. Im wondering if i should enter the Poly Foundation Programme or Sec 5 and after that enter JC/MI. For my Grades, if I want to enter MI, I Need 2 more o level subjects that adds up to 16 to enter MI. If i want to enter JC, I need 4 more subjects that adds up to 19. (Please correct me if im wrong)

Just got back my results and...

It was a disaster for me...

English C6

Emath A2

Amath A2

Science (Phy/Chem) C6

POA B3

CH (SS/Geo) D7

Chinese F9

CCA C6

I really hoped for A1 or A2 in POA, turns out I got B3.

Failing combined humanities doesn't matter as the course I'm after doesn't need the subject.

I got F9s for Science and Humanities in Prelims and the whole of Sec 3, so C6 and D7 respectively for these two subjects is fine.

I sucked at Chinese anyways.

Happy that I passed EL because I kept getting D7 or C6

I hoped for A1s for both maths, but nevermind...

I did slightly better for o levels than prelims at least...

Hi AidenChan, the admission criteria for JC is L1R5 less than 21 points. To qualify for Poly, the L1R4 has to be less than 30 points.

CCA get A1 or A2 can deduct 2 points.

If you already have a Poly course in mind, Poly Foundation would be suitable, if you can qualify (using N level results).

Sci (P/C) C6

Combined Humanities (SS/Geography) D7

Failing combined humanities doesn't matter as the course I'm after doesn't need the subject.

First time passing Science in my entire upper secondary life as I always get F9 (same for Combined Humanities)

Want to consider a business diploma in Polytechnic?

Because from the looks of it, your Maths very good, but your memory not good. I do not recommend Engineering, or Biology-Chemistry, because science-related courses need to memorise a lot of things.

Business is more on calculations and talking; don't need to memorise so much.

Glad that I somewhat managed to hit my target for O levels

English - B3

Math - B3

POA - B3

Comb. Science (P/C) - B3

Comb. Humans (SS/Geo) - A2

History - A1

MT - C5

CCA - A2

L1R5: 15 - 2 = 13

L1R4: 11

ELR2B2: 10/11 (nett)

What are the chances of me getting into PJC Arts stream if I barely meet the COP of L1R5 13? I'm considering putting that as my first choice. Should I consider entering MI Science stream since it is the only institution that allows me to take H2 Math and Science without Add math or pure science? Any advice would be great, thanks!

Your Humanities very good. English also. Can try PJC arts stream.

Avoid MI, even if you can qualify for their science stream. Because ultimately, you are competing with people from the JCs. MI science stream passing rate at A level also not high.

If you can cope, why not?

snivybelinda SG

is it hard to cope?

gekpohboy SG

is it hard to cope?

Same as sec 3.

FireIce SG

every year i have to remind all that the raw scores are considered first. when still got places left, those with bonus and deductibles then will be considered

your 8-2 = 6 will nv be on par with someone who scored raw 6

Barack Obama SG

Nonetheless, if you really want that course, put that as your first choice.

If cannot get, can appeal.

Nanyang JC got additional bonus points, on top of the CCA bonus points.
