Yes, it is true. But you cannot expect to go to those top, top jc leh. You probably will only get into the JC on the very low ranking.

deathmaster SG

since u study at woodlands, i assume you stay somewhere up north?

can try YJC, since they have a more lenient admission requirement.

but you must work really hard there.

just some little advice for those who are planning to go JC. the route of A level aint easy and it requires alot of academic commitment n resistance towards temptation. there are many camps and events happening in JCs every year. make sure dont dwell into too much of such activities but rather focus on ur subjects. afterall u go to a JC to study not to have fun. It might be easy to pass A levels, but it aint easy to excel in A levels. Remember, u either make it or break it. Excel in As and get to uni of ur choice, or scrap through and end up no where. To put it bluntly, JC is just a stepping stone towards university entry. But u also cant live without this important stepping stone.

This further bring me to Jenri619june comment on completing 30% of AM paper but stil can pass. why is this so? As most of us know there is this thing call moderation. and moderation plays a major role in national level exams. your L1R5 points might be not be a good reflection of your actual academic performance. Do bear in mind that with the introduction of IP programmes, students from Top end school are not taking part in the O levels, the abscence of this group of students plays a great part in affecting the moderation of the O level result. BUT do bear in mind, they are competing in the A levels with you guys 2 years down the road which means very tough competition. In short, do know your aim and your objective of entering a JC. Dont wait till last minute then start to panic. Its too late. Best of luck n cheers!

Jenri619june SG

i mean i only confirm 30% of the paper, sorry to mislead u.

Yes, good choice. (MI is a godsend to many who will do better in the 'A' level route, but whose L1R5 doesn't make the 20 points cut).

If your intention is to do Science in the University, take H2 Chem, H2 Physics, H2 Maths. Contrasting subject (being a H1) doesn't matter so much (eg. most Science students take Econs).

Hey. You are from Riverside Sec?? I knew a bio teacher thr Ms Tang, you know her?? She was my Bio teacher when I was in sec sch. lol. regarding ur L1R5, I agree w deathmaster, YJC is not bad a choice if u stay in the north. You got CCA points also, could minus 1 or 2 from ur L1R5. with ur result, u might have the chance to science stream, and I hope u didnt perform well in o lvl solely becos of ur injury, becos JC science is really tough. You nd a lot of concentration and dertermination. btw, if you fail to get into a science stream, do appeal to ur JC, w reasons like you have always been doing well for sciences in sec sch(w prove btr, like mid year exam result), o lvl didnt perform well becos of the injury.

All the best~

To luodaxia1989 yea i noe her she was my bio teacher.
one of the most supportive teacher to me after i came back to school after 4months.
feel bad to score a b3 under her.she teach bio really well.

i spend 3mths in hospital due to having multiple perforations on my large intestine.I wrote i had an accident for convientence stake.had 4 operations in the 3mths. was in the hospital for so long due to infection, they cnt let me home as they cnt find the reason of my case.i was on several antibiotics through lots of tubes all over.said i was v weak i was in icu for a week+ then transfer to highD. spent another 1 mth going in n out of the hospital for wound treatment n checkups.

when i was back to sch the focus study started cnt cope with current load, catching up n revision at the same time. more then i wanted, i was dead tired by the time i got home often slp till the next morning.

cannot take it.was preparing for the SPAs that i missed too. i missed 2 spas then i have another 2(skill 3) coming up.

Jenri619june SG

yami king.

depends on u actually.do u mind going to ite?
going ite means that u r moving on and not risking time on retaking Os and end up not acheiveing what u wish out of it and at the end of it u will b able to work n step into the working population.

if u wish to retake Os u will have to be v focus i noe afew seniors that chose to retake Os but end up retaking for 2/3yrs yet no results tt they want.

if u r focus can do work on ur own, not be distracked and mbe willing to get a tutor then go for it, becoz improving ur Os will be able to bring u to poly where u will be able to get a dip which will aid u better in the working world.

it all boils down on u.u willing to work hard on ur own?

Jenri619june SG

oh ya one more thing.dun emo or despair like me.
left a few mnths to Os only i still emo...

life too short to emo.if u wan a better O cert n get into poly start working on it!
find out if ur sch is willing to take u, its better to work for Os in sch since u will have teachers u noe tt u can appoarch compare to working alone.In terms of motivation is ++

if cannot, nvm! go get tutor.set up a rough timetable, today revise wad...stick as closely to it.Start with the basic.When u are good with the basic do tys, wrong then must understand y wrong. then find similar qns to work on again.

dun like me coz rushing everyting oso touch and go.if u really wan take Os again.U will have a yr! Pace ur self u took Os once u noe wads it like and how things will go. U noe where u stand n how fast u learn, take charge for ur learning!

and good luck to u in whichever path u take JIAYOU!

Jenri619june SG

Eh...y no one reply to ur qn de...

I can only tell u it will not be easy to self study Os...sorry for not replying for so long.

so u noe where u r heading now?

Jenri619june SG

hallo again...i have another question.

How should i prepare myself if i do successfully get into a JC science stream?

I am actually planning to do up my maths first (as in am at O level standard), i have looked for the syllabus for H2 maths in JC and various websites with questions (both Os ans As level standard).

However, i am stucked as i do not know where to start.

By any chance does anyone know the common few topics that JC will cover first?
I thought it would be wiser to start revising Os work related to those topics first.

Any comments and suggestions are welcome.

Once you are in there, do all your tutorial questions and ask your tutor whenever in doubt. Attempt all the tougher questions when you feel comfortable with your competency level. If you have any other tougher questions, you can feel free to post them here. The forummers would be glad to help out. And if you really need a tuition teacher, please engage one. I remember wee_ws being an excellent tutor for Math. For a subject like Math, all I can say is practice makes perfect. Work hard! =D
