Streaming Considerations
• Merit Based– Heavier Weightage on Science and Maths
• Students’ Choice
• Teacher’s Recommendations
• School Resources and Manpower
SCHOLARS o LEADERS RESPONSIBILITY INTEGRITY CARE EXCELLENCE Everyone Matters
Subject Combination Design Considerations
• All subject combinations for express students to include: EL, MT, Math (A/E) & Social Studies.Key: To maximize opportunity for post secondary
and even tertiary level options
• Triple Science Combination is offered based on merit in both Math and Science.Key: This combination is not offered with AEP
due to rigor and demands of Science Based Practical Assessment
• Provision of more subject combinations with 7 subjectsKey: Every child is unique and have their own strengths.

ADVANTAGES OF TAKING TRIPLE SCIENCES
• Able to appreciate all three traditional fields of science
• Stronger foundation in future research work
• Better chances in science competitions and fairs
• Good for students who have displayed good scientific ability butyet have not decided which field to venture to
• * Only 2 Science subject at H2 Level
• To do medicine requires H2 Chem and H2 Physics/H2 Bio
SCHOLARS o LEADERS RESPONSIBILITY INTEGRITY CARE EXCELLENCE Everyone Matters
• Triple science students will only be offered ONEHumanities subjects.
• Doing double humanities
• Physics and Chemistry is offered due to thenational push for STEM education and increasedemands for engineers
ADVANTAGES OF TAKING TWO PURE SCIENCES

Advantages of Taking Combined Sciences
• Higher chance of obtaining a science distinction
• Keep your L1R5 low for you to enter into the JC or polytechniccourse of your choice
* Limits your options in future so choose carefully if you intend todo a science related field at tertiary level
