Hi paimong,

If YJC is near your house, then choose YJC. YJC will spur you to work harder. However, whether it is YJC or MI, there will be some students who are quite playful.

You will have more time to prepare for A levels in MI and the competition in MI is not as keen as in JC. However, the proportion of students in MI going to local uni is not that high. My ex-student from Sec 3 who was from MI was very grateful to MI and her teachers.

All the best.

Hi guys, if I do well for H1 maths, can I get promoted to H2 maths ? I did not take amaths btw

Hi. You cannot take H1 math and H2 math concurrently.

Please choose your subject combination carefully.

No such promotion. However, if you scored A1 for E Maths, some of the JCs allow taking H2 Maths, with bridging topics taught during curriculum time.

Be aware that the step up in standards is much higher as H2 Maths teachers expect students to have prior knowledge in certain topics in A Maths.

For paimong, if you qualify for JC, do seriously consider JC instead of MI. English can be picked up along the way as long as you put your heart and effort into it.

Graduating secondary school students will receive their posting results for the Joint Admissions Exercise (JAE) next Thursday (Feb 1).

Applicants will be able to obtain their posting results from 9am, said the Ministry of Education in a statement on Thursday.

SMS messages will be sent to the mobile phone number provided by the applicant during registration. The results will also be posted on the JAE website at https://www.moe.gov.sg/admissions/jae, said MOE.

Those posted to a Junior College or the Millennia Institute need to report to these institutions the next day, Feb 2, at 8.30am.

Applicants posted to a polytechnic or an Institute of Technical Education course will receive further instructions via an enrolment package, which the institutions will mail to them.

Students who wish to appeal for a transfer to another JC or to MI should approach the JC of their choice or MI directly, said MOE.

The JC will have the discretion to consider the application if it has available vacancies, and if the student meets its course cut-off point for this year's exercise, the ministry added.

For appeals for a place in a polytechnic diploma course or a transfer to another diploma course, applicants can do so via the Polytechnic JAE Appeals website at http://jaeappeal.polytechnic.edu.sg, from Feb 1, 9am, to Feb 5, 4pm.

Results of the appeal will be available on the same website from Feb 8, 2pm.

Appeals for a place in the ITE can be done at at https://www.ite.edu.sg/wps/portal/intake, from Feb 1, 9am, to Feb 7, 11.59pm.

Outcomes of the ITE appeals will be available at https://www.ite.edu.sg/admission/ft/results.html from Feb 26, 9am. Successful applicants are required to accept the offer by March 1, 11.59pm.

NP and SP business schools are very competitive. However if you're planning to go to uni afterward (especially overseas, cause higher chance), poly is a better choice than JC as poly culture is very similar to uni culture. Also good to choose poly for internship experience, however if you have the choice of a more general course e.g Business Studies vs a more specialised course e.g Accountancy, Banking & Financial Services, choose the more specialised course as you really learn more. Plus the internship opportunities are more relevant like you actually get posted to Big 4 accounting/global banks rather than getting thrown to a random start-up in usually a HR role.
