  what i do know is that if u fail gp u can still go into the engineering courses if u did well for other A lvl subjects. but C-average i tink cannot le.

  but SOMETIMES writing "sensible" rubbish can also pass u..... be creative..
  
  during my year.. my teacher gave us so many topics to study.... but none of them tio..... i got frens who memorised from the topics... in the end buang the paper... luckily i wasn't even be bothered to flip her notes...

  Cos foreign students are admitted based on a different set of criteria as they do not take GCE A-levels at all.

  force? well they should have studied something else if they want to, in the A levels, you can choose any topic.
  
  Last time, I did the same.Rejected the school's choice of Geography topics, and studied my own, and did my own combi for the As.

  So if that one topic doesn't come out.... how?
  
  Back when I was in JC I simply couldn't care less about what the GP teachers taught us. If I didn't find what they taught interesting, I just did it on my own. GP is not something that can be learnt from a textbook anyway - it has to do a lot with your own general knowledge. I credit my parents for inculcating in me the habit of reading the newspaper while eating breakfast.
  
  I really have a serious problem with the policies of some schools... they only care about getting the grades and not with giving students an education.
  
  Oh wait, this is Singapore... I beg your pardon.
