I am seeing quite a number of new threads on "O level" results
so i am starting this thread to give a few words of advice that
will hopefully help all JAE applicants. If you have other advices
feel free to add them in.
1)If you didn't do well for your O levels
You might want to think about retaking the subjects you failed.
I myself retook my O levels because i failed English. Now i am
final year accountancy student in one of the polys. Some retake
students like to study at home using private tuition (like me)
others like to go back to their school. Depends on you
2)Poly or JC
Both polys and JCs are excellent routes to take. If you die die
want to go local uni and have nothing against secondary school kind
of study. JC or MI might be a good choice. I saw that MI is
offering quite a number of subjects you are bound to like some of
it.
3) Poly choices
Don't go into a course just because your friend is going into
it, It is the stupidest thing you can do as you will probably not
end up in the same class and also you will miss out the opportunity
of making new friends by sticking to the old ones.
Choose courses the maximize your strengths and minimize your
weakness. If you are highly creative person accountancy or
engineering may not suit you well. If you are quite good with
computers, IT may suit you.
Also take into consideration your likes and dislikes
That's all i have for now..good luck :)
