Subject Combination in JC
I’m having a tough time choosing my H1 subjects. Reason being is I heard that taking math opens a lot of opportunities in Universities. I want to do math because of this reason, but I seriously dislike doing math and really suck at it. I don’t take A math as well. I got B3 for Emath in O levels even though I’ve been consistently failing it throughout my entire years in Secondary School. Yes, that’s how bad my math is. I worked a lot in my Secondary 3 and 4 years, and finally scored a pass during Prelims, with an A2. A miracle I’d say.
The other option for me is to take H1 Chemistry. It was the same for me as Math. I hated the subject initially, and I did poorly in the early years of my Secondary School life, but as I started to work hard in Secondary 3, I grew to love it, and was scored fairly decent in my exams.
After hearing my story, what advice do you have for me? I’m really afraid of failing my subjects in JC as I’ve heard that you are unlikely to go to University If you do so. But Polytechnic is really not for me.
The last concern of mine is Literature. I will be forced to take H2 Math if I don’t take English Literature because of the subject combination. Can I still take Literature even if I didnt take it in Secondary School? (It wasn’t offered to my batch).
