Hi, I'm currently in Sec 4 this year and I've already gone
through 2 prelims. We were only tested on a few chapters for Prelim
1 and I did quite well for all three sciences. But for prelim 2, I
scored B4 for pure chem, C6 for for pure phy and F9 for pure bio.
For pure chem, my teacher told us that the grade would probably be
2 grades better than what we got for prelim 2. For physics I would
probably get B3 for o'level but if I push harder, I may get A2. For
pure bio, 2/3 of my class got F9 so I guess there's nothing much to
say about that. I'm really in a dilemma of whether to drop to
combined science (chem and phy). I admit that I didn't really study
enough for this prelim. I only started chem 2 days before, phy
about 2 days before and bio the day before. If I drop to combined
science, I would definitely get an A1. So I'm not very sure.. What
is most important is to get the best scores for o'levels right? But
I'm want to be a doctor in the future. I am really lost now.
Keep to Pure Sciences. Unless you screw up your 'O'
level results, keeping to Pure Sciences will allow your
options (and your Medical ambitions) to remain a lot more open
and feasible.
Dropping to Combined Science is riskier in that if you
(unexpectedly) don't obtain an A grade, most JCs will not
allow you to take H2 Sciences, which are necessary for all Science
degrees in the University (including of course, Medicine).
