Many students and parents find it difficult to select their subject combination in Secondary 2 streaming. The word of advice would be to choose subjects that students are strong in and have interest. In addition, students should consider their potential career in future and course to take in polytechnic or university.
For example, students who are strong in lower secondary math and consistently attained As are encouraged to take Amath in secondary 3. Amath is also recommended if students are intending to go to JC as H2 Math requires knowledge Amath such as calculus and trigonometry. Students who are interested in engineering or science courses should also consider taking Amath in upper secondary level.
As for science, chemistry is compulsory for all students. Students can choose to take triple science if they are interested in all 3 sciences or double science (physics or biology). Students who wish to take H2 physics, chemistry or biology in JC are strongly recommended to take pure sciences to get a good foundation in secondary school. Students who are considering to take medicine or biochemistry should take biology while engineering courses require knowledge of physics concepts.
What about other subjects such as principles of accounting (POA)? POA is one of the subjects that is most relatable to real life as students will learn on double entry rules and how to do accounting for businesses. Students intending to take business or accounting course in furniture are encouraged to take up POA to have a basic foundation. POA is also one of the easier subjects to score A. While there are many topics in POA, the type of questions are predictable and easy to score once students understand the reasoning and concept.
