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.
- Students who wish to offer 4H2 subject combinations are required to have a L1R5 (raw score) of 11 points or better, and meet the guidelines for relevant subjects, in addition to obtaining good results for the relevant subjects. This is to ensure that students are able to handle the rigour of 4H2 subject combinations.
- A minimum number of 15 students has to be met for any particular subject combination or class to be formed.
