R5 Relevant Subject 1 – Humanities

• No subject can be used twice in the aggregate.

• If the student has insufficient subjects (i.e. student does not have an English grade and an HMT), then L1R5 cannot be computed.

• Mother Tongue Language ‘B’ Syllabus cannot be used for the computation of aggregate points.

• Students who fail L1 (EL or Higher Mother Tongue) can still have their L1R5 aggregate computed.

MOTHER TONGUE MATTERS

• MTL 'B' for JCs/MI Courses

• Higher Mother-Tongue (HMT) in lieu of English (EL1) for JCs/MI Courses

2) Higher MT [2 Bonus Points] Pass in English and Higher Mother Tongue

Limited to a Maximum of 4 Bonus Points only

1) LEAPS Level of AttainmentExcellent: 2 Bonus PointsGood: 1 Bonus Point

• Net Aggregate score is not taken into consideration in determining whether applicants are eligible for a course. Gross Aggregate score is used for eligibility.

• Net Aggregate score is used during posting.

BONUS POINTS FOR COMPUTATION OF

NET AGGREGATE SCORES

Gross Aggregate – Bonus Points = Net Aggregate

Adam wants to get into a JC and his scores are

EL: A1 Comb Humanities: A1 E Math: A2

A Math: A2 Physics: B3 Chemistry: B3 Chinese: A1

• R2 can be either a Science or math, so the better E Math is used.

• R3 can be either his A Math/Phy/Chem so the best subjt is used.

• R4 and R5 can be any of the remaining subjects so the better subjects are use.

SCENARIO 1 (ADAM)

Gross Aggregate – Bonus Points = Net Aggregate

L1 R1 R2

R3 R4

R5

His Gross Aggregate for L1R5 = 10 points. Therefore he is eligible for admission to a JC course.

He has 2 bonus points from his CCA (Excellent).

Thus, his net aggregate is 8 points. This score is used for posting.

SCENARIO 1 (ADAM)

Gross Aggregate – Bonus Points = Net Aggregate

Shander wants to get into a JC and her scores are

EL: A2 Humanities: B3 Eng Lit: B4

E Math: A1 Physics: C6 Chemistry: D7

Chinese: C5

Her Gross Aggregate for L1R5 = 21 points. Therefore she is ineligible for admission to a JC course.

(even though her CCA gave her 2 bonus points)
