MOE Policy on Subject Combinations

COMPULSORY SUBJECTS

• General Paper OR Knowledge & Inquiry

• Project Work

• Mother Tongue

(Those who sat for HMT at ‘O’ level and obtained a

minimum grade of D7 for the subject can choose not totake MTL at H1 level).



MOE Policy on Subject Combinations• Every student offers a combination of

H1 / H2 / H3 subjects + MTL

• At most 2 H3 subjects

• H1 MTL unit cannot be replaced by another content unit

(except H2 MTLL)



Contrasting Subjects• All students not offering H2 Knowledge & Inquiry must offer a

combination of H1 & H2 subjects from both the Sciences &Mathematics group and the Humanities and Arts group

• H1 language subjects may NOT be used as a contrasting subject
