  I'm really having a hard time making a decision as to where I should go after the O levels. My L1R5 is 13 (after minusing my 2 bonus points), which is not exactly a very good point and my L1R4 is 11 (I don't know if I'm able to minus 2 bonus points off here). I was considering CJC since my school's affiliated to the college. If I put CJC as my first choice, I would be awarded another 2 bonus points. So I'll be applying to the college with 11 points. However, the COP for the science course is 10 points. Is it risky to take such a chance? Also, I have been considering other colleges like Serangoon JC. I was wondering which JC is better, SRJC or CJC? And I was also wondering if anyone could recommend me some good JCs to go to with my points. Please help!

  With A2 for Bio/Chem and A Maths, yes most JCs will allow you to take H2 Sciences. Note that with no physics background, you can only take H2 Chem, H2 Bio and H2 Maths.

  UltimaOnline is referring to most JCs, not necessary the two you are talking about. However, you can try appealing or asking the Sciences HODs for help.
