Aiya.. dun try hwo whould u know it wont work. I've a fren who wasnt happy with juz 1 A. He retook while still in army.. got 3 As as a private candidate. No...

Don't think easy to resit cos I understand the syllabus change entirely.
U can still try & apply for place in U first, if cannot get in, try SIM/poly.

Go & checkout the website for entry requirements or consult your teachers.

If you can afford it, go overseas.

You can join a small community college first if you think your grades don't qualify for those bigger full fledged universities.

However, the good thing is you can do your first year at the community college and then transfer your credits over from your second year onwards at that full fledged university.

Note that you still have to perform for your first year since the transfer depends on your first year grades.

You can treat it like your second opportunity in getting a degree. Laughing

eh bro, take as private candidate also no use. only 42.2% managed at least one A lvl pass leh.

sinicker SG

coffeeortea SG

Xcert SG

fark off lar...19 cannot retake ar?

Xcert SG

since this is the case...wait until he gets posted to unit and see if he can retake as private candidate during his 2 years.not easy though...especially if he gets posted into combat units

Xcert SG

No I dont mean JPSAF scheme...

I meant for those who cant get into poly course but dun want to go ITE...poly dropouts included.

LazerLordz SG

GP A1 can take English Language and Linguistics.

Literature too, but your A level subjects may be a problem.

silv3rgal SG

if u r confident in doing better.. maybe u can try to retake as a pte candidate, but i can say its quite hard to study while serving NS... i know of a fren who did that.. and his retake results wasn't any better than his previous one... after NS he just packed his bags and left for an overseas college , start all over again from pre college (= to sg's junior college) courses...hoping to get a place in a uni over there....

another alternative , u can try taking up a recognised degree course of your choice in sg, at some pte institutions like SIM or MDIS... they dont have requirements which are as strigent as local unis.. but being able to get in, doesn't guarantee u a cert in 3 years time... u still need to study real hard to get good grads or even to graduate...

digicharat SG

lousy results?
no problem! SIM is there to help you. Laughing

FireIce SG

hinting SIM is dumping ground ah

hiphop2009 SG

DDEF.......hmm...i hear dat NUS and NTU wont even look at such grade......if u get CCC den dey already buay song u liao n hope u will scram to some other place........

nvr mind, u can try overseas........ Smile

SexyChin SG

Overseas seems to be the best choice for you now.

darkruler60 SG

ATTITUDE = 100%

dun retake if u dun have the determination to study.

juzride SG

perhaps u'll like to try a non-science course?

management?
business?
social sciences?
communication studies?

actualli think w/o going abroad there're still options ard... thou i not too sure abt the entry requirement of these courses....

social87 SG

Saint` SG

Lovelorn? SG

Hey, at least you got an A1 for GP! That's very good in my eyes... I am also struggling with my subjects now and I am taking one less subject than you... Don't know if I can do well in this year's A's...

By the way, you can try applying for Law at NUS. The minimum criteria is B3 for GP. But with your A1, I am very sure you can enter the Law faculty. That is, if you are interested in Law of course.

By the way, can give me tips on how to do well for GP and score an A1 like you? Thanks!
