gunner77 SG

hey , i just got my N level result tis afternoon
i score 5 points for my top 3 subject
im eligible to go for sec 5 or direct route to higher nitec using my N level result.
im really interested in going to higher nitec but my parents insist on me going to sec 5. Im not saying i do not want to go sec 5, but if i choose to take sec 5
im afraid i will fail my O levels and still end up in ITE. In the end i wasted 1 year. Sad Sad Sad i really wanna go higher nitec now, how to convice my parent ?

Fireindahouse SG

most ppl here will tell u sec 5 – go sec 5 lah..

seotiblizzard SG

Sec 5 la.

Very Happy

gunner77 SG

its not tat i don wanna go sec 5
its just tat i have no confidence in doing well in my O level to go poly
lets say if i take sec 5 and do badly for O level, i still end up in higher nitec
in other words, i wasted 1 year whereby i can go higher nitec now Sad Sad

princealex SG

go to sec 5 ba i know the difficulty i retain 2 yr next year then sec 4 but was still determine to cont to sec 5 and go to jc if possible

seotiblizzard SG

Dont be so pessimistic leh.

how u knw u will fail?

U dun try u wont knw mah.

Unless u dun intend to study then u will fail.

798 SG

i suggest u should opt for sec 5. going for cert like NITEC or NTC-3 cert r kinda not recognise in my view.

at least if u got gce o level cert, it can enable u more option to choose ur career path next time like:

if u do well, u can go to poly; while if u do badly, u still got choice to go ite but a higher cert like ITC, CBS or NTC-2. these cert do enable u to poly next time.

Fireindahouse SG

poly requirement not really very strict lah… it fail then retain again lor my ex school also got ppl 18yrs old liao still sec 5..

gunner77 SG

lets say if i TRIED and still fail ?
i dont have the heart to study sec 5 Sad Sad

mystee SG

i will say go to sec 5..
be confidence, try ur best, especially in maths & science.. english at least c6.. then go to poly, no prob at all..

MidnightK SG

hmm, what qualifications one will get from ITE?

gunner77 SG

i can go higher nitec now by using my N level result

mystee SG

when u tried ur best.. & u fail.. then think...

now u tink, ur moral is aldy not correct liao..

gunner77 SG

for me, i can get a higher nitec cert

seotiblizzard SG

By thinking that way.

U fail liao.

U dun even want to try.

Go la.

go higher nitec.

798 SG

dun write down urself too early lah. u need to push urself to be motivated.

gunner77 SG

Sad Sad Sad

mystee SG

how abt thinking if u go to higher nitec.. if u pass it.. what are u gng to do next? plan your path ahead & do your best..

i dun believe if u really really really try ur best, u will fail.. even if u really fail.. at least u wont regret...

mhcampboy SG

If you can get a Higher Nitec cert, most probably you can do well in O levels too!

Just do your best in your O's.....

Even if you cannot make it to polytechnic, remember some schools like SIM do accepts O level cert holders. They even have some degrees which requires only O levels too....

Education do not stop. There are always ways to upgrade yourself even better!!

If you can make it to Poly or even A levels, then it is a bonus. If not, many ways are still available.

gunner77 SG

if i go higher nitec
after tat i can go poly Smile
