<p>Hi,</p>
<p> I feel that H1 maths is a practical subject for a non-science major student. He/She will need sufficient statistical know-how to deal with research projects in the university.</p>
<p> Questions of statistics may be tricky if one is not careful about reading the problem statements.</p>
<p> Thanks!</p>
<p>Cheers,<br />Wen Shih</p>

<p>to tell you the truth, my friends and i ordered TIME, we found the magazine to be utterly useless. wasted my $200. you can read the same stuff on time.com if you really want. dont depend on them for gp, youre better off buying stuff like hwa chong's "for and against" gp book and finding your own substantiations and examples from the net to support their arguments inside for gp topics that youre interested in....</p>

<p>wah i think u a bit arrogant here. so are you implying that your usage of your vocab is 100% perfect? we might not use "spam" in its full dictionary context but surely you can read its implied meaning here. from your definition of spam, it includes "junk email", so by using "spam" here, you should also understand that it merely refers to your posting of irrelevant information(or junk). also, not everybody will go read dictionary for meaning of words before using it. do you really read the dictionary before you use every single vocabulary? </p>
<p>"<span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px; color: #333333;">so what if u think the paper is easy, nub school think easy alr what about pro school who are probably scoring much much higher then u . by that time ur A or whatever expection will go down the drain ."</span></p>
<p>^this is total insult to the weaker students. watch your language in public. calling other schools that are not as prestigious as the one youre in dosent make them "nub". it is pure insult to call other schools(even if they may be weak schools) "nub" in public. you might be a top scorer, but dont forget people also aspire score well like you(may do).</p>
<p>how would you feel if you were a weaker student who found that paper to be easy and had hopes of getting an A with all the hardwork put in? please think for others.</p>
<p>and i havent heard of any people complaining about the top 5 jc only accepting raw scores, so why is that a concern? besides the top 5jcs of trying to get the best intake of students, no other jcs have the incentive to admit students based on raw scores only...</p>
<p>although i can only agree with you on 1 point, nobody can call an exam a joke if they cannot score straight A1s for it.</p>

<p>Hi,</p>
<p> As the learner goes through the variations, he/she has to consider whether:</p>
<p> 1. the algebraic approach should be used,</p>
<p> 2. the graphical approach should be used,</p>
<p> 3. the arbitrary variable affects any of the above two approaches.</p>

<p>Hi Audi,</p>
<p>Do allow me to share with you some information about Junior Colleges. Subjects are separated into H1, H2, and H3 levels, with the first being the easiest and the last being the toughest.</p>
<p>Subjects can be grouped into Science or Arts subjects, with economics being an exception, as it can be taken as both a Science and a Arts subject.</p>
<p>Some Junior Colleges do allow a student to take two Science subjects along with two Arts subject, but generally speaking, all students are expected to have a contrasting subject. For example, if you take three subjects from the Science side, you must have a subject from the Arts side.</p>
<p>ACJC students who take up the IB programme has a very different curriculum though, which you can read more about from here:</p>

<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IB_Diploma_Programme"></a>The subjects taught in JCs are roughly the same as those in Secondary School, though there are some special subjects, especially those offered by VJC, which are unique to the post-secondary level.</p>

All the talk about PRC scholars remind me of my classmate in NUS. He was born and bred in China. He had arrived earlier with his parents and attended JC and did well. Unlike the PRC scholars, he spoke decent English and he had no problem mingling with Singaporeans. In fact, he prefers to hangout with us than those fresh from China, even though he is very brilliant and very driven, and that made him more like the PRC scholars than the Singaporean slackers (like me). In fact, he was so brilliant he was the "go to" guy for PRC scholars who needed help with school work.
And, even though he is strictly speaking a first generation PR, he served National Service.
An exemplary foreign talent, don't you think? A model new citizen? And for all the hard work he put in, what did Singapore offer him? Well, Singapore offered to screw him.
Since he was not recruited via "rigorous interviews" held in China, he was not entitled to apply for the PRC scholarship, even though he proved himself worthy by aceing the "A" levels. This is not the case, for example, for ASEAN scholarships. Irregardless of the route you took to enter NUS, as long as you are a non-Singaporean citizen of ASEAN, you can apply for the ASEAN scholarship.
And either because his Singapore citizenship did not arrive fast enough, or because some scholarship boards referred him to the PRC scholarships, he did not manage to get any scholarship at all. I had trouble knowing the details because he was always eye-bulging mad when he talked about it.
This is the stark reality of Singapore. Be a non-committal tourist like Zhang Yuan Yuan and enjoy the best of both worlds, or embrace Singapore and get screwed, like my friend.
He was incredibly bitter about his situation throughout his four years in NUS, and immediately upon graduation, found a great job in US and never returned since.
So, what is the lesson learnt here? Don't be stupid and serve NS, since Singapore will not appreciate it? The biggest benefit of the Singapore citizenship, ironically, is that it allows you to find a job and migrate to developed countries easily?
Honestly, I cannot help but feel that our whole foreign talent policies are being run by people who are not thinking very far.
