Subject Combinations
Overview
The subject combinations offered by the College are based on the guidelines from the Ministry of Education.
-
Each subject combination comprises 3 parts:
• Content-based H2 subjects
• Content-based H1 subjects
• Compulsory H1 subjects -
There are 3 compulsory H1 subjects, namely, Project Work (PW), General Paper (GP) and Mother Tongue Language (MTL). Students who had obtained D7 or better in HMTL at O-Level can be granted exemption from the MTL Examination.
-
The norm is to offer 3H2 and 1H1 content-based subjects together with General Paper, Project Work and Mother Tongue Language at H1 level. This adds up to 10 academic units. One of the content-based subjects read must be a contrasting subject.
- Given that 4H2 subject combinations are highly rigorous, it is necessary for students who wish to offer 4H2 subject combinations to have a L1R5 (raw score) of 11 points or better, and meet the guidelines for relevant subjects.
- A minimum number of 15 students has to be met for any particular subject combination or class to be formed.
