help help help! desperate alevel retakee retake 5times liao.
-
aiyo, i become worse case scenario alevel student liao la. condemmed untill no face to face my jc friends and relatives. 
firstly, i'll explain........it started out as sad case of stubborness. i was lazy when i was in jc and upon reaching exams , i found i had too much to study and cannot possibly get a good grade even if i study so i deliberately din study and wanted to fail my exams. but it ended up i din deliberate enuff to fail all subjects , such that i still end up with a full cert.
and have to serve ns 2.5yrs .i cant even be allowed to retake privately again.
shocked!......
then after ns i decided to continue to study but i became a changed man. more slack actually. still.... i enroll as private candidate but end upz getting even more f tup grade as i lost touch with the subjects liao.shocked , i went to a private school the next yr to study and get some discipline. school life was boring but i was above average student still(understanding the concepts were easy for me), towards the end of the year, i got exam phobia as i din do much homework and practice such that i began missing lessons to study at home. but staying at home is worse as i either sleep or go play computer games. 
........result is i skipped the prelims and some of the actual exams.die....
ok, i rally myself after that and told myself not to give up. next yr study hard by myself ok. but it was not the way.......
without school life discipline, time flew past rapidly. it was funny as i though maybe i could push myself harder if i put aside 4 months at the end to study. but toward the planned schedule i had carefully drawn up,i failed to keep track of revision progress and begin slowly to slip into depression.
freaking!
depression is no aint funny thing and its really gives a terrible feeling man.it felt worse than dying.headaches, insomia, letargic, loss of appetite, scaredy cat feeling , no confidence, self reproach, Armaggedon liao! but then i was quite impressed by my resilent and mental strenth and i managed to recover....after skipping some exams papers again 
ok then its 2005.....
after my miraculous recovery from depression, i rally myself again. this time i went to another private school to stdy. at the start i was ok, progress was made and things were fine. i din skip lessons and i stay back after school to study.good buy, but im still lazy and din do all homework
the nightmare begins during the holiday.....
i saw some lobang and decided i could earn some money, as a result i purchased a bunch of goods to sell and earn 1k .but it also cause me to miss some lessons and worse destracted me. in the end i begin to miss lotsa lesson after the holidays. slowly , i fall back on schedule and from my initial plan. i never quite catch back on the schedule. this drag on till now.practical exams are on 19th this month. next month its the rest of the bunch and im aint no prepared .i cant study as im too stressed thinking of it but as i think more, more time slips past weeks after weeks.
how , to help me? i felt a bout of depression few month ago while slacking and it felt worse than the previous yr such that i dont know if my body can take such pressure anot if it came full blown.im supressing it by indulging in hobbies and exercising but i figure mental hospital might have new patient or newspaper might have my picture if i still cant make it and i cant overcome the depression. my sis used to tell me theres one gila temasek jc ex student who everyday go there to do tys but is abit shorted inside.he keeps doing the qs and seems to know them but goes around asking everybody how to do them and does them himself again and again.
haliluya liao la......i neber tot its possible to become like that till i felt the depression came in. its real and the fellings is damm shitty ...im fighting still, but any advise or past experience to share anot???? -
I don't get it..If you set out to fail,how izzit that you can fail in such a simple thing as that??Just don't turn up for exams la..duhzz..
-
wtf?
-
apparently you did not set out to fail in your jc exam in the 1st place....
how could anyone pass their exam if they set out to fail it in the first place?
how old are you? btw? 22? 23? -
must be really stupid to retake A levels 5 times
-
retake A level ar?
then... why not go enrol into poly with one of your passable A level result?
a diploma is more valuable than a lousy A level grade no? at least poly got more discipline than private school... -
Ya u wasted your time, go to poly at least they help u kelong pass exam and now u will have a diploma. 5 years for A level not worth. I believe u were born in the years 1981-82? Hey the people who did primary schol when u were in sec will have overtaken u already. Paiseh .
-
what the Fuck? how did you even manage to go to tertiary education with such a mentality
-
Life is like that. nothing special. believe in yourself, you can do it.
-
bah, reminds of me. i f up my grades badly, might be xferring to another poly...
if you are not determined to study, i suggest you dun waste ur time getting a lvl cert....go republic poly lAhz very fun de! -
cant pass As just go poly lah
-
Seriously, the A Levels is not for slackers. I know this sounds really harsh.. but you only have yourself to blame for having the slacker mentality and a lack of discipline in the first place. Even the most hardworking student on earth will find the A Levels extremely bad for their health and mind.
I say forget about the A Levels. Move on with your life - get a poly cert or something. -
maybe you should give yourself a break and stop studing ... not everyone is cut out for the books.

During my JC, I was lazy, never did any homework, play PS everyday, got heavily involved in CCAs, skip half the class, sleep half the lectures... only started to panic after my year 2 prelims, left about 2 weeks only, then quickly tried to get my act together... too little too late... ended up with a full cert... cannot retake in JC... not enough for local uni... but I didnt want to retake my As as a private candidate so I decided to move on... Now I am studying locally for an overseas degree and ACCA...Originally posted by dippy:firstly, i'll explain........it started out as sad case of stubborness. i was lazy when i was in jc and upon reaching exams , i found i had too much to study and cannot possibly get a good grade even if i study so i deliberately din study and wanted to fail my exams. but it ended up i din deliberate enuff to fail all subjects , such that i still end up with a full cert.
'A' level actually is no use one... cannot find work... used only for entering NUS NTU SMU and some uni... If you dont want to retake your As then go to those exhibitions showcasing overseas universities(one year have a few times at suntec), some are easier to enter, some O level can get in liao but must go for 1 year foundation at their college... or try to get into SIM... or get a professional qualification like ACCA if you want to be an accountant... or any of the professional qualifications out there...
Since you said you are above average student, then once you made your choice then try to focus on it lor... confirm can move on to the next level one... -
IMO you're obviously not inclined to study. i think you should go ITE, pick up a skill and start working.

I also thinking of the same question.Originally posted by digicharat:how old are you? btw? 22? 23?

i totally agree..A levels are a nightmare to me..i m not a brilliant student when it comes to studies..din manage to get into local Uni e first year i applied....now i m currently a year 3 in NUS...Originally posted by fudgester:Seriously, the A Levels is not for slackers.

think u jus have disciplinary probs...
if u are not determined, u wont even get thru anything, might it b poly or private school...basically, u are screwing ur life..e prob lies in urself..
time to grow up loser...make decisions, stick to it.. -
if he's around that age still young. just go to poly.Originally posted by Xcert:I also thinking of the same question.
no point keep taking A level and keep failing. waste time waste money. maybe you dont find it a problem. but you are breaking your parents heart. they also feel sad seeing their son keep disappointing them. -
yeah, why waste time retaking your Os. your effort can be better spent elsewhere, be it poly or ITE. or maybe even setting up your own business. A levels does not gurantee success. even if you pass your As, you might not get into a local U.

because jc sucks...

try working full-time and studying part-time. mainly for income and also because you won't fully utilize your time on studies even if you study full-timeOriginally posted by dippy:alamak, now its like i got exam phobia la. i understand the concepts easily but everytime when the exams approches, i get scare and starts to day dream, worry about this and that then start spending time on my hobby instead of practising question.apparently my iq is not low but my eq seems very low. too emotional . read up abit on eq and how it matters more at work but i still cant find a confident way of dealing with it.

I think you should get to know some study buddies... then tell them your problems... then offer to study together...Originally posted by dippy:alamak, now its like i got exam phobia la. i understand the concepts easily but everytime when the exams approches, i get scare and starts to day dream, worry about this and that then start spending time on my hobby instead of practising question.apparently my iq is not low but my eq seems very low. too emotional . read up abit on eq and how it matters more at work but i still cant find a confident way of dealing with it.
