For preparing to go Poly, ensure that your hair and clothing all
damn stylish and fashionable. If you have an accent, even better,
and flaunt what you have. Join CCAs [If Student Council or
Dragonboat even better] for the sake of meeting people and pick-up
useful "wayang" skills. Be friendly with professors and backstab
classmates by acting blur when they ask you questions.
Oh hang on, I mean:
[1] Do your tutorials and use the class time to approach prof
and clarify your questions.
[2] Do past year papers to prepare.
[3] Attend classes, it's tempting to skip but you stand to
lose.
