10. Student Option Form • Part 3: Order of preference for the elective subjects (All priorities must be filled in) • Part 4: Order of two science subjects (Only needed to be filled in when a student has chosen “Two Science Subjects” in Part 3)

14. Two Science Subjects • Students who wish to take two elective subjects in the Science Education KLA are recommended to take the following combinations:1. Combined Science (Physics, Chemistry) + Biology2. Combined Science (Biology, Physics) + Chemistry3. Combined Science (Chemistry, Biology) + Physics

15. Case I: Student A • She would like to take 3 non-science subjects as her electives • In Part 3, just indicate her order of preference (from 1st to 10th) which should NOT include “Two Science Subjects” • Leave Part 4 empty

16. Case II: Student B • She would like to take 2 non-science subjects and 1 science subject as her electives • In Part 3, just indicate her order of preference (from 1st to 10th) which should not include “Two Science Subjects” • Leave Part 4 empty

17. Case III: Student C • She would like to take 2 science subjects and 1 non-science subject as her electives • In Part 3, she should prioritize “Two Science Subjects” as her first priority and then other subjects according to the order of preference (from 2nd to 10th). • Need to fill in Part 4.

18. Special Consideration • In case any one of the selected two science subjects is full, she cannot get the offer.

19. Example • If student has chosenCombined Science (Phy + Chem) + Biology • She can get the offer and two subjects will be assigned to her.

20. Example • If student has chosenCombined Science (Phy + Chem) + Biology • She cannot get any offer and no subject will be assigned to her.Computer will check the availability of the next priority

21. Example • If student has chosenCombined Science (Phy + Chem) + Biology • She cannot get any offer and no subject will be assigned to her.Computer will check the availability of the next priority

22. Student C (2 or 0) • If she is only interested in taking 2 science subjects and WILL NOT consider just taking one science subject:She should fill in her order of preference in Part 4 but leave all single science subject in Part 4 empty.

23. Student C (2 or 1) • If she is interested in taking 2 science subjects and will consider just taking one science subject if any one of the selected two science subjects is full:She should fill in Part 4 according to her order of preference.

24. Case IV: Student D • She would like to take 3 science subjects as her electives • Method 1:She should prioritize “Two Science Subjects” as her first priority and then another science subject as her second priority. • Need to fill in Part 4

25. Case IV: Student D • She would like to take 3 science subjects as her electives • Method 2:She should prioritize one science subject as her first priority and then “Two Science Subjects” as her second priority. • Need to fill in Part 4
