Hi this im taking my O levels this year . My subjects are English, Combined science( Chem and physic) , Combined humanites and A and E-maths. I aming to get at least 7points.
I hope to go to JC but im unsure whether i would be able to do h2 science in JC. I also would like to take H2 Bio even though i have no background on it. Is it possible?
You can.
I have seen people who did it before. But you have to work damn hard. Double/Triple of what everyone else is doing.
But this is a risky move as you might compromise your A lvls grades.
However, the most important thing is for you to FOCUS on your O levels NOW. Don't get distracted.
Hey,maybe I can help a while.If you were to take combined science,certain JCs would only allow you to take one H2 science from your subject(.e.g.physics/chemistry,either H2 chem or H2 physics but not both).My college still have to give bridging programmes for students coming from combined science background.:)
H2 science aren't easy to start off without prior knowledge from pure sciences.But still,work hard and overcome everything.:)All the best for your Os.
Hello hellomeyou,
I am a JC1 student who has just started my new school life for 3 weeks and I can tell you some stuff regarding the sciences.
Firstly, I am sad to say that you cannot take H2 bio because the pre-requisite states that you need to have O lvl knowledge, whether as a pure or combined subject. In fact, H2 bio, chem and physics all require O lvl knowledge, which means you can only settle for chem and physics.
Secondly, you must ask yourself whether you wish to have a science career (engineering,chemistry,medicine,dentistry) in the future. If you do, then you MUST take H2 chem and H2 physics. True that you will be slightly disadvantaged since you are from combined science, but it doesn't matter because if you have the passion and drive, nothing can stop you. However, you must check which JCs allow combined science students to take 2 H2 sciences. Just to add on, H1 science is useless for admission into a science course in uni.
Lastly, all the best for your O lvls!!! Do not be overly worried about this now since you still got 2 months to think about it. But nonetheless, it's good that you are thinking ahead :D
thank you for yours advices!! im now very motivated!!!
