Will the presentation slides shown during Placement Briefing be provided to parents?  \nThe information will be provided on the school website.  \n2. Is the allocation of subjects based on subject merit of End of Year Exam only, or overall Sec 2 results?  \nSubject allocation by merit is based on overall Sec 2 results.  \n3. How will students know which subject combination they are eligible for?  \nAfter End-of-Year examinations, students will be shown their Overall percentage score for all subjects. This will allow students to check if they have met the criteria for subjects such as A Math and Pure Sciences, thereby knowing which subject combination they are eligible for.  \n4. Does the school allow G2 students to take a subject at G3 when they achieve 70% for the subject this year?  \nNo. The student must attain a minimum 75% score for the subject and be deemed to be able to cope well in the subject.  \n5. Do students remain in their current Sec 2 class regardless of which combination they choose?  \nStudents will remain in their current form class as they progress into Upper Sec, regardless of the subject combination they are allocated.  \n(B) Nature of Subjects  \n1. Can G2 students take Additional Mathematics (A Math) at G3 Level?  \nThere is no option to offer G3 A Math to G2 students. Students can choose to take G2 A Math and G3 Math.  \n2. What does 'elective subject' mean?  \nElective subjects mean under the option of the subject combination, the student will only select one of the subjects offered.  \nFor example, in the elective subject of A Math/Art, students can select only one but not both subjects in the combination.  \n3. What is Science PC/CB?  \nThis is the shortened form of the names of the elective subjects Science (Physics, Chemistry) and Science (Chemistry, Biology) . As this is an elective subject, students will select either one but not both.  \n4. What does SSGY and SSHY stand for?  \nThese are the shortened forms of the elective subjects Humanities (Social Studies, Geography) and Humanities (Social Studies, History) . As this is an elective subject, students will select either one but not both.  \n5. If my child chooses SSHY, does it mean the subject consists of half the content from Social Studies and the other half of the content from History?  \nYes, SSHY is a combined subject, results from each half to make up combined score for SSHY (Humanities: Social Studies, History)  \n6. If my child is not strong in Mother Tongue, is it advisable to drop the subject at G2 Level?  \nMOE education policy states that it is compulsory for all students to study an official MTL as second language. Students may be eligible for MTL exemption if:  \n• they are Singaporeans returning from overseas in the middle of their primary school education journey,  \n• they have been overseas for a long period of time and had no opportunity to learn an official MTL, a Non-Tamil Indian Language (NTIL) or an approved Foreign or Asian Language, or  \n• they have special educational needs, with severe difficulties in coping with overall learning.  \nHowever, your child may consider taking Mother Tongue Language ‘B’ Syllabus (MT B) . If a child is taking MT B, the subject cannot be calculated as one of the subjects for EMB3 as MT B assessment grading is unlike other subjects. Students will be assessed to have attained a Merit, Pass or Ungraded result in the subject. G2 students are offered only 6 subjects, so if your child is taking MT B, your child’s options for Institute of Higher Learning (IHL) options will be based on only 5 subjects. After deciding on taking MT B, students cannot revert to G2 MT subject.  \n7. What is POA?  \nPOA stands for Principles of Accounts.  \n8. What do students study in POA, Art?  \nDetails of subjects for Express course can be viewed from MOE website:  \n[https://www.moe.gov.sg/secondary/courses/express/electives\\#subjects](https://www.moe.gov.sg/secondary/courses/express/electives#subjects)  \n(C) Eligibility ","cbCaim8zl8IiZrbN","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaim8zl8IiZrbN","pdf",156462,"English","# Administration\n## Nature of Subjects\n# Eligibility and Combination Selection","[{\"question\":\"Are placement briefing slides provided to parents, and where can they be found?\",\"answer\":\"The presentation slides will be provided on the school website.\"},{\"question\":\"How is subject allocation determined for students moving to Upper Sec?\",\"answer\":\"Subject allocation by merit is based on overall Sec 2 results.
