The big day has arrived! As you collect your O level results this week and choose your next path of study, it’s important not to miss any critical deadlines. You should also know about where to find the right information and plan your choices beforehand so that you are not caught in a bind at the last moment, not knowing what to do.
To help you out, we have prepared a summarised ‘QnA’ guide on what to do after getting your O Level results!

Applying to JCs is through the Joint Admissions Exercise, which will take place from 3PM on Thursday, 12 January to 4PM on Tuesday, 17 January 2023.
Ideally, you should do some research and select the schools and course (IB, A Levels Arts or Science) you are interested in. You may shortlist up to 12 choices and rank them in order of your preference. Explore JC school options at MOE’s SchoolFinder portal.
If you are eligible for any of the Language Elective Programmes, consider if you would like to join, and make sure your choice of schools offer the programme.
When the JAE application window opens, log onto the JAE Internet System using either your Singpass or the JAE PIN provided to you along with your O Level results.
In the system, you will have to check or key in some personal information (identification and contacts), and enter up to 12 choices of schools, in order of preference.
The school posting results will be released on Thursday, 2 February 2023. You will receive the results through SMS if you have provided a local contact number, or you can also view it on the JAE Internet System.
If you are posted to a JC, you should report to your allocated JC at 7.30AM on Friday, 3 February 2023. Bring along a personal identification document (NRIC, Student Pass, or Passport).
You should wear your secondary school uniform to your JC until you receive further instructions on how to purchase your new school uniform and supplies.
Attendance to the school is a confirmation of your place there. If you are unable to make it for any valid reason (e.g. illness), you should call or email the school to notify them that you will be taking the place.
If you are dissatisfied with your posting and wish to appeal to another JC, you should approach the school of your choice directly. Do note that schools will only consider appeals if your O Level result meets their minimum requirements.
You should still report to your allocated JC while waiting for your appeal to be processed.
Your JC journey is only just beginning! Whether you will be doing the A Levels or IBDP, there’s no doubt that JC is an intensive 2-year experience. As a result, many students falter and struggle to do well.
But that wouldn’t be the case if you prepare for it early. Attending regular tuition helps you review your studies consistently under the supervision of experienced tutors. You will also have ready access to the guidance and knowledge of our tutors to clarify your doubts.
Future Academy provides top-tier tutoring including small group classes for JC Math tuition and JC Physics tuition. Many of our students from our IP Math tuition classes find our lessons so helpful that they opt to continue with us in JC too.
Don’t wait until it’s too late to catch up. Begin your JC journey right with Future Academy!
