L1R4 is for entry to polytechnics, sometimes referred to as L1R2B2. R2- relevant 2 subjects, B2-best 2 subjects.

Thank you for insight. Poly is very good option as my DD very clear to take Humanities ( Doesn't like Maths & Science) , so no point going to JC which is mainly for Science students

There's a arts stream, if you have failed to notice.

It's good to get her to take a look at the different courses and content of the courses being offered at the moment.

From what I remember, there are not many humanities-related courses at Poly level. It might be better to go to JC (Arts).

Thank you for info. There is Entry Cut -off for JC in one of the thread... JC arts is lower than JC -science... is it correct understanding?
