Don’t ignore the importance of Cultural Subjects (Music & V.A.)!
A loss of 1 mark in the main subjects leading to a loss of 9 marks A loss of one mark in the main subjects leading to a loss of 9 marks
As in the formula for calculating the total marks, the three main subjects (Chinese, English and Mathematics) has a weighting of 9. i.e. 1 mark lost in a main subject is actually a loss of 9 marks!
An excellency in the cultural subjects like Art and Music may not compensate the loss! Admission Criteria
