Subject Combinations
-
Hmm..I'm in Sec 2 (IP) this year..gotta choose what subject combination to take next year. I'm thinking of taking Triple Science+Geog (10 subjects in all). Just want to find out how you guys decide what subject combination to take.
-
Triple Science is good. Whatever subject combination you choose, as long as it includes Chemistry, life is good.

y? good pay? -
Fwah, 10 subj.
I got 7 subj i cannot tahan liao.
If u sure u can take it, then go for it.
If not, best is concentrate on a few.

Since you're taking triple science already, you're pretty much open to many university courses (engineering, medicine and stuff). Physics is a requirement for engineering. Other than that, just take what you're interested in. :) be sure to do well for your english though.

I hate chem..................make my results so sucky
-
take as many subjects as u can take
den slowly see which one u like more, and drop those tat u dun like (or dun do well in)
normally someone who likes maths will tend to like physics too

-

as long u take phy and chem its ok... cos bio related courses in uni do not require u to have bio backgrd... physics is a must if u want to go for uni engineering courses.
if u can take trip sci... of cos i highly encourage u to take.
for humanities.. depends on u.. some pple like geo.. some like hist..really up to u.
math.. of cos take A math la.. otherwise u suffer in JC and Uni.
-
chem is a definate must.
The rest, you can choose.
-
Wah 10 subjects.
English, MT, EMaths, AMaths, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Geography, SS+Elec, 3rd lang?
-
IP of which school? Leading to A levels or...? <--- I need this information in order to advise you.
UltimaOnline is right though, (even though he was just joking), chemistry is a must. Chemistry opens you to medical courses and seriously, it's the easiest subject ever. Doing chem tests is like reading a jokebook: You read it, you laugh, you write your answers down, you laugh some more, you get your paper back, you see your marks and laugh again.
-
triple sci, make sure u can hande well. more often than not, u flop in one, the others will not do exceptionally well. science is pretty much interlinked. at least for me lah. all the best.

Thanks for all the replies
In response to MrSean's question, I'm from Raffles Institution, and will be proceeding to RJ for A Levels.
The 10 subjects I plan to take are English, Higher Chinese, Maths (EMaths and AMaths combined into one subject, but there's a double weightage), Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Geography, SS+Philosophy (counted as 1 subject), and Research Education. The minimum number of subjects you can take is 9, and to qualify for 10 subjects, your GPA has to be above 2.8.
-
now secondary school is GPA? wah i old liao..
-
Wah minimum 9 subjects.
Anyway, what happens during IP? No 'O' Level cert? Then spend 4 years in a JC? What if 'A' Level screw up, then left with nothing? (touch wood)
-
siao eh min. 9 subs
my sch max 8 subs nia, no pure humans

Most IP schools use GPA. Dun think there's any mainstream secondary school which uses it. -

For me, it's 4 years in RI, then 2 years in RJ. No 'O' Level cert unless you want to take it as a private candidate. If you screw up 'A' Levels, you can retake either as a private candidate or ask your JC to take you in again (I think). -
