Hey guys, i've been very down since recieving my O level
result in feb.
My results are not "that" bad, but it's just that i failed my
maths.
L1R4 - 21points
MT - b3
Eng - b4
C.Humans - b3
Art - b3
E Maths - E8
Upon rcieving the slip(form A) for the courses which im
eligiable for, i can only spot one poly course. N78(digital visual
effects) of Ngee Ann Poly. I tried to enroll into the course, but
sadly im being rejected.
So i tried DAE for RP and NYP. Sadly, both schs rejected me
too.
At the same time, i'm already applying for NAFA as a back
up.
Some of my friends who failed their maths, and even having a COP
higer then me gets a course by RP's DAE. So im quite confuss why
didnt i get a course.
I did work hard for my maths paper (since mid year last year),
but i still cant managed a pass.
Do you guys think by going down dirrectly to RP to appeal will
do any help?
I seriously wanna get into a poly as it's been my dream. Now
everything seems shattered in my life. I cant imagine when april
14, all my friends will be attenting sch, and i'll be alone at home
doing nothing.
Please advised me what i should really do.
Im serioisly not thinking of retaking as im a ex sec 5 student,
already wasted enough time, and i seriously thinks that i dont
deserved to retake as my results are not bad(just that my maths),
and i worked so hard during the o levels. So dont advised me on
that.
Please help me.
Hey bro,
If you seriously don't think of retaking your O maths, then
there's really nothing much you can do in pursuing your dreams. The
rules are like that, either you meet it or you have alternate
plans.
Like one of the forummers had said, don't go into arts school if
you have no interest in it. It's not easy as everyone think it
is.
My bro failed his O English, he chose to go ITE and retook his O
English. Anyway, he couldn't make it, complete ITE in good
grades, go to army, go to poly, just finish his part time degree
with NUS.
Or you may want to go to NS while retaking your O maths. But I
don't advise that, as another forummer correctly pointed out, with
only O levels, most of the things you are going to be assigned
would be sai kang. But then that depends on what you want to
achieve in NS as well.
Sometimes, there are just people need to walk a bit longer route
to achieve in life. It's all about perseverence.
Even if you want to go to the poly, go there do what? It seems
like you want to go poly, but have no idea what course you want to
take. I was like that, I went in, failed my engineering maths, and
got retained for a year. Also quite a waste of time. Think through
carefully in what you want to do. Meantime, you can consider taking
up some temp job so you won't feel that you have 'nothing to
do'.
Good luck.
