H3H2H1
Students may select subjects at 3 different levels of study : Higher 1 (H1), Higher 2 (H2) and Higher 3 (H3)
The norm is for students to offer three H2 and one H1 content-based subjects, one of which is a contrasting subject.
Students must offer General Paper, MT and Project Work, which is at H1 level.
Students who have the passion for a particular subject and have the time to go beyond the norm may offer additional H1/H2 subjects or up to two H3 subjects.
Total no. of subjects = 7 (3H2 + 4H1)
Examples of Subject Combinations
H2 Economics H2 Geography
H2 Mathematics (contrasting subject)
General Paper Project Work
H2 Physics H2 Chemistry
H2 Mathematics H1 Economics
General Paper Project Work
• KI can be taken in place of General Paper.
• Provides opportunity to explore different methods of inquiry in fields like the sciences, the humanities, mathematics and the aesthetics.
• As KI is multi-disciplinary, it can be taken as a contrasting subject for students whose main specialization is in either the Humanities & the Arts or the Mathematics & Sciences discipline.
University Admission Criteria Minimum application criteria: •2 H2 passes •GP (or KI) taken at the same sitting •MT
Grades considered for admission: •3 H2 and 1 H1 content-based subjects (at least one from a contrasting discipline) •GP (or KI), PW, MT •Minimum MT proficiency required : ‘S’ grade in H1 MT or •Pass in MT ‘B’ or D7 in GCE ‘O’ level HMT.

• DSA – JC Exercise commences in Term 3, Wk 1.
• Students admitted via the DSA-JC Exercise will have to meet the criteria for admission to a JC, for example their GCE ‘O’ Level or equivalent results must meet the prevailing JC admission eligibility criteria.
Direct School Admission (DSA - JC)
• Each JC will admit students according to its own merit-based admission criteria (academic and/or non-academic criteria), based on the students’ personal qualities and the areas of focus (such as leadership, science, music, sports) that the JC would like to emphasise.
Direct Polytechnic Admission (DPA)
• The Direct Polytechnic Admission (DPA) Exercise commences in July.
• The DPA Exercise gives the polytechnics greater flexibility to select students on criteria other than GCE 'O'-Level results.
Direct Polytechnic Admission (DPA)
• For the DPA Exercise, the polytechnics will take into account students’ abilities, talents and interests in the specific courses that they are applying for.
• For example, a student’s passion and talents in film and video production would be considered when he applies through the DPA for a polytechnic course in Media Studies.
Direct Polytechnic Admission (DPA)
• To ensure that students admitted through DPA will be able to cope with the rigours of a polytechnic education, applicants will also have to meet the prevailing polytechnic admission criteria.
Direct Polytechnic Admission (DPA)
• The DPA Exercise also allows students who are interested in, and who have the aptitude for applied learning, to confirm places in polytechnic courses prior to taking their GCE ‘O’-Level examinations.
• Students accepted to polytechnics through the DPA can also benefit from special programmes in the polytechnics, before the start of the formal polytechnic classes in April.
Phases of DSA Exercise
ACS(I) / Hwa Chong / NJC / RI / VJC / SOTA
