Hi,
I took my GCE 'A' level several years ago and was surprised at
my performance with a U. However by God's grace, I am currently pursuing the course of my
interest in NTU
and have passed the Qualifying English Test (QET).
Thereafter, I am also exempted from the university's English
Profiency module.
While all have been smooth
sailing for me, it has been a dilemma in me as to whether I should
retake my GP paper in the coming A levels year. Although I have
registered as a private candidate to take it last year in the
course of my studies, I backed out upon the registration's closing
date. This was a decision made due to my peers who were questioning
my purpose and informing me of the rebundancy in such
move.
Basiclally, I was told that
having a GP grade in a several year's sitting
apart would not make
much difference in future. Thus, it will be a waste of money and
effort. So in the
nutshell, it would means: to move on.
Though as much as I can understand their reasons, I am
constantly questioning myself about my performance during that
year, or rather is having a U truly reflective of my language
ability. Thus, I have thought of going for it to see for myself.
Even if the result is not ideal, I will still embrace my flaws and
improve on it in the future. As all I want to know is a answer and
I would not wish to leave any question marks in my life.
Sorry for the long post. Thank you for hearing me out. This year
will perharps be my last year having thoughts on re-attempt. Please
kindly advise if I should retake it this year.
Warmest Regards.
