how did you study for english ?Originally posted by alterdesire:Starpuppy I know how you feel I was in the situation last year. While all my friends got 14 and 15 points, I got a D7 for my English and ended up with 22 points. I was so sad. I now only could get into all the lousy courses. But i had worked so hard for my emaths and gotten from an F9 student (i was the worst student in my class) to a B3 for my o levels and I did not want all my efforts to go a waste just because of my stupid English. So I decided to retake even though my parents did not want me to. Besides English I had to retake another subject. It was either biology or combine humanities (I got C6 for both this subjects) but I hated this two subjects to the core and I knew I was not going to do well if I retook them. So I did some research and found out that most students found the subject Principles of Accounts a very easy subject and could score high grades (I also wanted to get into the accounting course really badly) so I went under the odds and took this two subjects. Many people thought I had got mad for taking a whole new subject which needed 2 years of study and now I got only about 7 months to study. But I did not give up I asked my mother to arrange for me private home tuitions for both the subject (it caused her $400 per month but my mother said she would not mine as long as I study) so I stay at home and studied unlike in school I now had plenty of time to study .I studied in from 8am to 4pm (when no what was at home) then I played.
I did the TYS and asked help from my cousin and make sure I knew everything there was to know about POA.
And now
English D7 to B3
POA B3 (with just seven months of study)
From 22 point I got 15 points
From being rejected from the accounting course I am now probably going to be the first few whoÂ’s going to get in). -

Nosense..who tell u must be 2 consecutive years?
MOE says that poly can only accept 2 sittings, they nvr say [b]consecutive sittings. If u dun believe, i am living example here. I combined my 2003 sec 5 O level result with 2005 one. I access JAE and choose a selection to combine 2005 with 2003 result lor
Now finally can go poly.....

i still have hope to squeeze into RP, if not i go shatecOriginally posted by browniebaobao:then how?
retake again ar?
i would advise u not to waste time, talking from experience.
especially when u are a guy, still have to go NS. -
my advice is.. to look at the course u really want to get in, go through all the modules to make sure that u know what is ahead of u.. also to look at the sort of opportunities available to u after u finish the course.. then u decide what u want..Originally posted by The man who was death:i still have hope to squeeze into RP, if not i go shatec
Personally i rather u spend a yr repeating o levels and aim for a better grade to get in the course u like, then to drop out half way in a course u manage to squeeze in..
do note that what u like to do, might not be what u like to work in..

dude, same position, same attitude.. i studied very hard during last 2 months but got 28 points.. but I passed my F9 maths to C6, My father say its a improvement and my prelims got 33.. So he say if cannot get into poly never mind, as long as got try.. So if cannot go then private for me liao
