请教：初三选课

liaocao

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。

亲爱宝贝

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), OR

2 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 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

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?

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?

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。

sgcn007

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。。
