Private Instituition for Private O Level.
-
[deferment]1 year for private O level (1 year) --> [disruption]dip which I like(3 years) --> NS(2 years).
this is wad i am doing. -
I am sure I can get A1 for pure chem. Chemistry is my life, and I live with it.Originally posted by Agenda:What makes you think your pure chem sure can get A1? My friends in pure sci class also find it hard..
Even if they set it easy, There will be alot of of people get 75 and above causing a big unbalance..
So you should take another easier subject like History
And seriously, There is moderation.. So don't expect to have too many A1s -

Wah. I am sooo lucky to meet someone with this here. Hey Ito_^, is there any terms and condition for this?

I feel like retaking also, if I dont get ideal results. But don't know how to explain to my parents, and their disappointment. Stress man.

Which route should I take?
Route 1 8yrs
the dip which I dont like(3 years) --> NS (2 years) --> the dip which I like(3 years).
Route 2 6yrs
[deferment]1 year for private O level (1 year) --> [disruption]dip which I like(3 years) --> NS(2 years).
Actually I prefer Route 2, but my mum prefer route 1. -
Route 1 have a problem, after some of my analysis...Originally posted by Darkness_hacker99:Which route should I take?

1) Are you taking O-lvl again after NS? If not, how you know u can surely get into the course in poly u wanted?
2) Besides from what i heard, poly not cheap, 1 semester don't know how many thousands... If your parents rich then nothing to say, if not, you will be paying don't know how many thousands and wasting 3 yrs for something you don't like.
3) Plus, I heard instances that some people picked up course they dun like, cannot 'ta han' then halfway drop out or never drop out but retained for failing test, cause dun like very hard to study.
4) And, after NS can you guarantee, you still have the heart to study?
If you have given this a thought and you think your endurance super good, then you want, u can choose this route.
For route 2,
1) you sure your pure chem can get A1? To tell you the truth, my sister from special stream, studying triple science. Of all the sciences, my sister is having most difficulties with pure chem and complained difficult. I'm not trying to infer u cannot get A1, but pure chem have more things to learn from sub chem, if I'm not wrong, you mentioned that you are combined science student. Is your sub chem foundation good? Like one say, they have moderation.
2) Others have 2 years to prepare (Sec 3 and 4), whereas you only have 1 year to prepare and must squeeze in all the additional topics and polish up your other topics you are weak in.
3) Same as route one, what if you fail to defer your NS? Can you guarantee you have the heart to study after that? For your info, in chinese they have a sentence 'One day is enough to be lead astray', what's more 2 years in NS?
Well its just my analysis for those route you mentioned which i felt it is important to consider if you haven't and if you really must go through either of this route.
For me, I would suggest dun think about it now, wait for the result which will be release at the second week of Feb (like me) and then plan what to do next (After getting result, you still have about 1 week or so to plan/consider).
Also, is it really a must to get into this course? Do you have backup course for you to choose, cause even if u really get A1 for pure chem, still can't guarantee you to get in, you will never know what will happen, standard might increase or decrease over the years.
All of the above I mentioned might not apply to you, but can be serve as a guide. Think about it.
Anyway - I look at two of a private insituition I know (bmc.edu.sg and informatics), they only provide combined science. Expect all other private insituitions to be the same. -

1) I am going to study for O Level concurrently with the dip. I am 100% sure I can take up another dip after my NS.
2) I do not wish to waste my parents' money. But we can afford it. During the vocation, I'll take up part time job.
3) ya, I have heard of many cases of this. One living example is Missqi
I feared of this too, but I have no choice.
Route 2
1) Yes, I am confident of getting A1 in Pure Chemistry. My Foundation in Chemistry is very strong. I have calculated my avg class tests and exam result. My avg is 87. I strong believed I can do it.
2)I give tuition to Pure Chemistry student during my June/Dec holiday although I am sub sci student.
3) Here is one website which tells me that I am allowed to defer.
--------------------------------
Backup course? yes, but that doesn't fit into my plan.
My plan is..
Dip. in Biomedical Science --> Degree in Biomedical Science --> Higher Education. My dream is to become a NeuroScientist/NeuroSurgeon. On top of that, I want to be a Professor in Neurology in a famous Uni.

If all this u think and plan already, you have pretty much decided the route isn't it? The answer already lies within you, it just that u are feeling uncertain and some assurance thats all.
Oh yes, have u talk choose and talk to any private insituition yet? Well, you don't have to apply for it now but u have to call them up and clarify some of your doubts. As I mentioned, not all have pure chem. -
I have found a few private instituition liao. Tomorrow I need to email them to ask about some other thing.Originally posted by furb:If all this u think and plan already, you have pretty much decided the route isn't it?
