We must make a greater effort to help students discover their interests and
passions, through education and career guidance... We then match student
interests with their course of study as much as possible during the admissions
process…
As Confucius says, :
somebody who knows cannot match someone who
wants to know, and somebody who wants to
know cannot match somebody who loves to
know.

Annex A
Early Admissions Exercise
EAE (ITE) for Sec 4NT Students
20
The Early Admission Exercise (EAE) is an aptitude and interest-based exercise that allows
your child to apply and receive conditional offers from ITEs prior to receiving the final N-level results, i.e. before the JIE exercise with
everyone else.
It’s for those who have aptitudes and interests in specific fields of study
21
• Focus on course-specific aptitudes and interests• But, non-course-specific achievements, e.g. sports,
performing arts, leadership, are also considered
1
You’ll be assessed through different modes
• E.g. interviews, aptitude tests, showcasing your portfolio, depending on the course you apply for
2
All this will take place before your N-Level exams• If your application is successful, ITE will give
you a conditional offer before you take the N-Level exams
3
You’ll still have to meet the minimum entry requirements
22
• Most Nitec courses have subject-specific minimum entry requirements
• ELR2B2 less than or equal to 26
4
But you won’t have to compete for admission to ITE strictly on the basis of how well you do academically compared to everyone else
5
(…or your offer will be revoked)

2019 3N(T) Subject CombinationTaking Higher Stream subjects (For SBB & Non SBB Students)
Mr Alex ChiamSH (Data & Information Management)
Briefing to Parents
2019 3N(T) SUBJECT COMBINATIONTAKING HIGHER STREAM SUBJECTS
Briefing Outline
1. Subject-Based Banding (SBB) development 2017-2018
2. Opportunities to take Higher Level Subjects (For all students)
3. Post-Secondary Options
What is Subject-Based Banding (SBB)?
• Every student is unique and possesses different strengths. Taking subjects at a higher academic level can help students nurture their strengths and give them more opportunities throughout their educational journey, so that they are more engaged in learning.
• Previously, students in N(A) and N(T) courses can take higher-level subjects starting from Secondary 3. With SBB, your child can start doing so from the start of Secondary 1, to build a stronger foundation in subjects that they are good at.
33
What’s Ahead ?
Q: Will my child be able to take the higher-level subjects all the way to Sec 4? •Your child may continue with the corresponding higher-level subject at upper secondary if she meets our school’s criteria at the end of Sec 2.
•(for both SBB and non SBB) Student can take up to a max of 3 out-of stream subjects.
35
For Current SBB students
POST-SECONDARY EDUCATIONAL PROGRESSION
for N(T) students
Progression opportunities for Sec 4 N(T)
• Sec 4 N(T) students have the following progression opportunities:
• To be eligible, students must satisfy the minimum entry requirements.
• A strong literacy and numeracy foundation would ensure students are better prepared for these progression pathways.
• Therefore, students are encouraged to deepen their knowledge in English, Mathematics and Science.
Nitec Programmes Transfer to Sec 4 N(A)
Posting of applicants to NITEC courses
•Posting is based on merit and subject to vacancies in open competition.–Based on aggregate of the best 4 GCE ‘N’ Level subjects, including pre-
requisite subjects and bonus points (where applicable); and–Met course-specific entry requirements.
•Many Nitec courses require a pass in subjects such as English, Math and Science – good foundation in these subjects is critical to students performing well in the corresponding Nitec courses.
•Doing well in these subjects in secondary school, especially at the higher level, will position students better to perform well in ITE.
