Thanks for the reply.
Since I didn't take pure sciences,would the practical part of H2
Sciences(Phy and Chem) be too much for me? I can learn the pure
science content but I know nothing about SPA.
Is it something I could easily catch up on?
Also,shouldn't the type of students present in the JC sort of
affect you directly? I mean we would have to form groups for PW and
if some members aren't cooperative,we can't get anything
done.(Choosing would be difficult)
What are your personal experiences regarding this?
No worries about SPA, now replaced by Practical Paper. SPA or
Practical Paper = just obey instructions of the practical
procedure, and record observations correctly and make intelligent
deductions and conclusions. Your school will give you sufficient
help and preparation to prepare for the Practical Paper.
Of course, especially with Project Work, the type of classmates
you get will affect you. But the type of classmates you get, aren't
so simplistically determined by which JC you go. While RJC might
have a greater % of more siao-on muggers, and MI might have a
greater % of more lepak-lepaks, but in terms of Project Work, it's
more about trustworthy, reliable and ethical classmates, and on
these characteristics, all kinds of students are found in every JC.
So which JC you go won't directly affect this. Besides, which JC
you go isn't really up to you : you can only apply for the best JCs
your L1R5 can get you into, as well as the JCs nearest to your
home. So it's not really much of a choice, so don't stress over
stuff you can't control.
On a related note, for both points above : (your worry about
coping with H2 Chem, and about whether your peers are motivated or
not), going to a good Tuition
class will make a positive difference on both points. Only
motivated students will go for tuition in the first place, which
will help make the learning environment more conducive, than might
be the case for neighbourbood JCs or MI.
