Okay, so i am having a rlly hard time now trying to decide on
whether i shld drop to combined science or not, posting on this
forum is like one of my last few resorts of gaining advices!
Constructive advices would be highly appreciated. Thanks in
advance!
So to start off, i take pure phy, pure chem, amath, pure hist
and hmt. I have alr taken my normal chinese olevel last year, which
I've obtained an A1. Recently, for my prelims 1, i did badly and
that is why i am comtemplating on whether i shld drop to combined
sci or not. I got 26 for my L1R5 this prelims. Well, math and
humanities are not my concern, because i am pretty sure that i will
be able to do well for them in the olevels. I just need to brush up
some skills and start studying harder. My major concern is the 2
pure sci. In my sch, they are constantly encouraging us to drop
subjs, thus the friends ard me are either dropping their pure
humanities or their pure sciences. That is also why I am even more
confused on what to do because of the pressure from sch and
influence from my peers.
I have been failing pure phy since sec 3 but i am starting to
show some improvements through the class tests in sec 4. I've
either got a B or at least pass all the class tests this year. But
for this prelims, I got a F9. For chem, i've been failing it since
the mid of sec 3. I do pass some class tests, but it is always
borderline passes. Same for failing, i've always failed chem by a
few marks. And for this prelims, i got an E8. I know that my
friends and teachers have been asking me to drop to combined sci,
but it is not in favour of my own or my parents' decision.
I dont intend to pursue a sci course in future whether in poly,
jc or uni. But i am rlly keen in getting into a JC. Hopefully
either SAJC or SRJC. In the counting of L1R5, i need not count in
any of my sciences because i have enough subjs and counting in a
sci is not a must, so getting Cs for my sciences in olevels would
not be much of a big concern. As stupid as i may sound, i would
rlly rlly like to hold on to my pure sciences but i am just afraid
of the comdems i may get and that I may not even pass them in the
olevels. I am willingly to work rlly hard for the last 5 months,
and hopefully at least get a B for one of them. I am also concerned
that if i drop to combined sci, one of my sci would definately pull
down my overall marks. So i would rather stick to pure sci. Cos if
i screw up one of it, it will only affect that subj.
So yeah, that is all that i have to say. And i would like to
know your views. Pls also advice me on what shld i do! Thank you so
much! (:
P/S. I got a total of 4 bonus point with my cca point and hmt.
If this info helps.
