Should you enrol in advanced Chinese?

Higher Chinese is what?

Higher Chinese is a form of advanced Chinese that has about 20–30% more vocabulary than standard Chinese and calls for a higher degree of proficiency in comprehension and composition on the exam paper.

Additionally, it has little impact on the psle score. It awards +1 for passage, +2 for merit, and +3 for distinction. Additionally, it only functions if you apply to an SAP school.

You could easily spend the time to raise any subject’s grade by three points.
