http://www.moe.gov.sg/education/pre-u/curriculum/

Three Levels of Study

H1 H2 H3 Half of H2 in terms of content

Equivalent to ‘A’ level subjects prior to 2006

Extension into subject areas with diverse learning opportunities for in-depth study (eg. advanced content, research paper, university module). You must offer the corresponding subject at H2 level. Pre-requisites for all H3 programmes. (refer to Table C-3 & C-4 of 2014 JAE info)

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)

Direct Admission

(DSA – JC / DPA)

Direct School Admission (DSA - JC)

•  DSA – JC Exercise usually commences in Term 3, Wk 1 (~July).

•  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.

•  http://www.moe.gov.sg/education/admissions/dsa-jc/files/2013-dsa-jc-phase.jpg (for reference only)

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.


•  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.


•  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.


•  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.
