O Level EMath 2013 Bellcurve

YctLeong SG

Hey for those of you who have seen the Emath Paper this year , you will find it easier as compared to past years right ?
Can anybody estimate the bellcurve or any experts here can tell me what's the minimum mark needed to secure an A1 ? Will 92 do ? (Actual 94)
Any suggestions are welcome

ArJoe SG

Around 85-90 marks. You may think that everybody would get all correct, but many people would either make careless mistakes or their presentation is incorrect(very common), many marks would be deducted, so I can assure you not many people would get 92 and above..

Why so much concern with the marks?

You do the best you can, and then accept as best as you must.

Nope

Why not?

Bcos the prospect = only can become bankers or teachers?

Why not?

Bcos the prospect = only can become bankers or teachers?

Because I am more interested in chemistry and maths...

Not entirely due to this....

Maybe can work as economist or in PMO, but you need at least a 1st class honours in economics? I am not confident of achieving that lol

No?

Econs degree is valued in many industries and in general because of its diversified knowledge base and for analytical research purposes.

At the end of the day, you should learn based on what you want to learn and hunger to.

Not for prospects per se, because these only open up when you can sell yourself to future employers.

Anything?

For Econs deals very much with statistics, and is applied to much that involves people interactions.

You might find it strange.

But even bus service development with SBS Transit has use for Economics.

If you need more evidence on what I just said, you can look further at the various career sites.

If the job prospects are so good, then why isn't this course a popular course? Econs at the uni also involves lots of maths, maybe I shall consider again..

SBS2601D SG

Each year NUS FASS alone produces maybe 200-300 Economics degree-holders, you tell me this course not popular?

*faints*

Yes!

But math in Econs is really only one part of it.

Which unfortunately takes the bulk of teaching here.

AGAIN

job prospects depend very much on YOURSELF.

299 other people from the same uni, havent even talk about NTU/SMU/SIM, how are you gonna differentiate yourself from them?

By extension, what makes a degree-holder such a big f*ck really, if you can't stand out from the rest of the crowd?

Get real!
