whatnow SG

so u think if u retake u will definitely do better?

willing to put in the effort?

I'm willing to put in the effort but I'm not sure whether I will do better cause in school exams, my results hang about C5/6

Self study and retake. Possibly be asking help from sec sch teachers

Was under prepared for both exams.

Couldn't understand the section a in geog, wrote the wrong greenhouse gas as i was confused halfway through and ended up writing something I learned in chem (which was definitely wrong).

SS was because I betted on transnational terrorism and venice to come out. Memorised a bit for sri lanka but didnt come for the part i did. So can only write 1 pt with no example. SBQ couldnt finish due to poor time management.

To be honest,as long as you love o level pure geography as a subject+have the skills to smoke your way through by substantiating randomly made up examples which are rather convincing,A2 shouldn't be difficult.

Tbh,i think if you screwed up only section A,it cant be that bad bah.I screwed up my paper 2 a lot because I dont read the human geog textbook much,and thus ended up with only A2.

To do well in SS is actually to ace your SBQ instead of essay,because most people can memorise the essays for every chapter easily and score rather high marks,and thus SBQ is the component where aceing it can have an edge over other people.But of course,both components are also equally important in determining your overall grade

I see. Thanks for your advice. I usually smoke my way through for geog examples since I can't recall some during the exams.

As for SS, my SBQ is around 21-22/35 so that should be fine unless I couldn't understand the source and spent lots of time on it, which was what happen.

I retake it with these tips in mind. Thank you so much :)

Do work harder for the A1 or A2 this year.Life sucks taking SS(we know its propaganda) but we have to go through it anyway.

Need help once again!!

So I received 26 points for O levels after I minus away the 2 CCA bonus points. (regret not studying). I got rejected in all 12 choices for poly addmission in JAE. i can't even make an appeal. Well, Now I am applying for DAE. I realised I can choose up to 3 courses on the NYP, RP, SP poly DAE submission website. So does that mean I can choose 3 course for each poly? Or just 3 coures in total (across all poly)?

Also what are my chances of getting into poly?The courses I will apply for are 26 points as well. If I get rejected again then whats next for me, ITE or will they assign me into random poly courses with vacancy?

Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the help!

yea...most likely ite. unless there are vacancy. but they will most likely be nursing and engineering related courses. unles u want rp...like environmental science...

Posted to SP EEE as first choice.

Reasons for bad results:

- Sci (P/C) C6

Flunked the entire chemistry section (F9/E8) and smashed the whole physics section (A1/A2)

- SS/Geography D7

Flunked the whole SS paper (both SBQ and SEQ) at about 12/50 as I didn't study the topics that will come out for SEQ and mis-interpreted some sources for SBQ. The Geography paper was pretty easy and I scored about 30/50

- A Math and E Math both A2

Didn't do well for both paper 1s (50+/80) and smashed both paper 2s (80+/100)

- English C6

Did badly for Oral and LC, and border-line pass for paper 2, while smashing throughq paper 1

- POA B3

Did badly for paper 1 (20+/40) and smashed paper 2 (45+/60) except on the Return on Equity (which I didn't bother learning)

Honestly, you may want to appeal to change course, to business instead. Because honestly, engineering needs a lot of memory work. And it's obvious from your science and humanities that your memory is not good. Considering your Maths get A2 and POA get B3, why don't want consider business? Anyway, good luck to you. Not that it is impossible, but it will be very difficult. Enjoy.

humanities and language no good cannot survive well in business

dont hai ren

Anyway, out with it, most of the participants are just actors, right? Because, when I took the o lvl myself few years ago, I never thought of sgforums, or any other forum. Most students probably dun refer to forums to advise them which course to apply, as they have other sources of help, like their secondary school teacher, friends and parents, and also the JC / Poly lecturers… anyway, I was only speaking from experience, as someone from the engineering field. I also took business before. Yes, I agree business need language skills. Not so much about humanities (compare, contrast and memory skill)... but really, looking at his grades, I can tell that he may have a hard time coping with the rigour of the engineering course. (Engineering has a bit of chemistry component, by the way. There’s electrolysis; protons and electrons, and other things – which I shall not divulge, as it may reveal the course I’m studying.)

u mean ur multiple accounts?

Gehehe SG

Just want to ask for opinion from you guys.. not really related to the topic

should I drop amaths? I'm currently sec4 and signing up for my papers tomorrow, so need to decide by today. during my sec3 time, I didn't like amaths at all and did not do well in it, got 12/100 for my end of year paper. however, this year I have a new teacher, and his teaching is understandable and I'm getting better, but for amaths (taking n level paper), there's 70% of what's tested in n level learnt during sec3. if I were to continuing taking amaths it means that I have to catch up alot and thus spending more time on that subject. I believe that time is precious and should not be wasted if unnecessary, so should I drop?

note: I won't be using amaths for my EMB3 (n level version of L1R4)

also, if there's any Accountants here, can you advice that for diploma and degrees, do you need amaths?

thanks for reading the long post
