Normal Academic

As you may be aware, Normal Academic students may take 3 subjects at ‘O’ Level when they sit for their GCE N Level Exams subject to school approval. (See Page 8 of 2021 GCE N/O Exam Registration Guide for School Candidates)

Principles of Accounts can one of these subjects.

1. Poly Foundation Program (PFP)
   PFP is a one-year foundation program that prepares students for entry into a polytechnic. Upon completion, these students will move on to the first year of their chosen diploma course. More than 80% of Polytechnic Diploma courses will be offered under the PFP. This scheme is only available for Sec 4 Normal Academic students with an aggregate score of 11 and below. These students are allowed to combine their ‘N’ and ‘O’ Level examination results to compute their eligibility for PFP.

Only the top 10% of Sec 4 Normal Academic cohort qualifies for PFP. You need all the advantage you can get.

2. Admission to JC/MI/Poly/ITE

Some Sec 4 Normal Academic students may choose to take GCE O Level subsequently. Given Option 2, students who taken the subject at GCE O Level earlier would have one less subject to study. They can focus on their weaker subjects to get a obtain better aggregate score.

How to qualify?

Most schools decide the eligibility based on Sec 3 overall results. The Normal Academic student should have scored at least A2 to qualify.

Do note that the selection criteria may vary from school to school.
