Just choose whatever that suits you best. Meaning, you must be able to cope.

last time i choose poly becos i hate studying for chinese in secondary school and also poly sure can get into uni and even if dun go also much better then a "A" level cert. but if go "A" level and can't get into uni then die liao need to retake or can't work in certain field like engineering. Confused

so it really up to you on what you want and what you are confidence in loh. no point go somewhere where you have to pull a long face for the nxt few years.

GO poly sure can get into uni u sure???????

ndmmxiaomayi SG

Only more llimited than the JC students. Most JC students, if do well, can get in.

Poly students, if no merit, basically, quite hard.

strikefreedom SG

ya lah pretty hard but normally after working 1 to 2 years u can get in if u plan for local uni, but if u opt for oversea then u can sure get in. so it a matter of u want to wait or u dun want to wait.

good and bad for both so it personal preference.

My teacher told me the only about 5% of poly student who are able to make it to Uni. They are usually the ones who can go JC who instead chosen Poly. It like 50 out of 1000 people made it to Uni only. It's the CREAM OF THE CROP that made it. A risky way indeed.

Dr Who SG

Got good uni and also got crap uni = which u prefer.

NUS/NTU/SMU 100% not crap uni........can enter civil service.......other uni, u may have problem........

SINGTEL takes in NUS as Manager. They take in some Aussie Uni grad as ASST Manager.........see......lower class

pqr SG

if results not good enough, usually they are still willing as long as you can pay the fees

university earn alot from international students

strikefreedom SG

yes you can unless you got really crap result and wanna to get into the top prestige uni then it another questions. eg

as for most uni the good and the bad one, you can get into it, but the exemptions will be different as in you may or may not be given exemption depending on ur result and the standard of the uni.

there are alot of good uni in australia too and it all depend on whether you know which one to choose from and you will be suprise by how much you get to learn from those good uni in australia.
