basically im now studying in a so called ' weaker' jc...

u need 6 subjects to get into a jc....

basically, u said u r from N(a) rite?? so i would assume tt u didnt take A math or pure science??( even if u do, u would hav a slight advantage la)

if tts true, u probably studyin similar combi as mi bah...(mi express anyway..)

currently, haiz..struggling wif mi jc....so probably u should go poly bah....tts what i think...
becoz, in sec sch i also though jc, can go and try try.....but haiz....

btw, in sec sch, i was quite a strong student( no intend on bragging, jst wanna tell u how i feel)

topped mi class....and scored 14 points for 'o's ...but mi sec sch neighbourhood sch....

hoped i helped...

advice from a jc student: go to poly. seriously. Laughing never ever go into a CI waste time might as well go poly 3 years and if your results are satisfactory (assuming you're heading overseas for further studies) you may be granted exemptions eg 1 or 2 years off a certain course. even MIT recognises poly diplomas so there you have it...unless you're a chao mugger who's very very intent on going to a local university or british system schools...not much of a need for you to take a levels. Laughing

and chinese b is available in jc but be reminded its a 2 year course so you'll be wasting a lot of time.

oh izit...i didnt happen to bump into those place wrong posting of categories...

so if a lot of people keep asking the same quesitons, then you all just reply??

i thought should be like refer them to some threads so that they can learn things from others and avoid asking the same questions which a lot of people have already asked couple of times??

be it jc/poly/ite OR even private insitutions...they are all the same...

nothing can be given the tittle of "best"

it's just up to the individual's preference only..

leddy SG

it doesnt mean if you're getting around 16-18 pts, it would be better for you in poly. my advice has always been if u could enter a jc, just go for it. poly modules can very quite tough, it doesn't mean poly is necessarily easier than jc. if ur ultimate goal is to enter university.... jc is a better choice, coz it's normally easier to enter uni from jc. even if u didn't do well in jc, say u get Bs and Cs and Ds, u still have a shot in entering uni.. if ur poly results are mainly Cs and Ds, u can kiss local uni goodbye... u also have little chance with a good overseas uni. most ppl who enter polys know what they want to study already and many intend to start work after poly...mainly those with good results do go to uni...

during my secondary sch days i was thinking of going to poly study IT. but my results were good enough to go jc... and i decided with jc coz im not sure if IT is what i want... and now im doing engineering in uni which I really enjoy studying.. so im quite glad i didnt go to poly.. coz i would have regreted studying IT and given the slacker in me, my poly results probably wont be very good enuff for uni too.. so im glad i went to jc..

CIs can bring you to the University.

I'm one living example.But your peers will be mainly full of crap and lack motivation to even get a full A level certificate.

if u don like strict rules and regulations then u sould go poly.

JC's life is hard man

chunyong SG

no matter wat, go poly…cos if u go JC u lose out. if u can study go poly…then go Uni deduct a yr and save $...if u cannot study go poly oso…at least u get a diploma…best of both worlds.

browniebaobao SG

I dinoe that u can go to JC straight from NA?

Changed so much ar?

if u really dun like chinese, then Poly will be a gd choice.

CI no use wan.. many people went JC and then poly after that coz they could nt make it to Uni and the A level cert is useless to them.

LazerLordz SG

CI is only useful if you are prepared to do your own academic study outside of what the school does.

Don't diss them, I personally know a few who are very successful overseas.Beijing Uni is not an easy place to enter..but we have managed to have people who go there.

14_boy SG

thanks so much for these advice... but really if i were to take B chinese, will i still have 6 or 5 subjects? cuz if it is 5, Jc's comfirm out....

And above all, judging by wht i see, CI has completely lost the race. but what i have yet to read is the real reason why. I would want to persue mass com in future so which path is better? JC, or POLY?

and i do see the down side of JC, If you are not able to enter Uni, A level cert is nothing. But in oly, you are on your own and you have to be the top 5 % to enter uni.

does anyone know, how the poly system works? how many courses do you have to take?? someone shed some light on that, please! Embarassed Laughing
