hi people. I don't know why but i feel like blogging all of a sudden. hahas, i'm addicted to blogging lately. yea, i have really decided to go POLY. haha. I know that's a decision i had made long time ago, but i was still thinking about the courses that time. I have decided to go to the business course. Well, i'm very confused with chemical reactions and equations now. I certainly wouldn't like to face them again in future. My love for chemistry is now lost and gone for good. Anyway, this is what i read in the stomp forum.from
here" As for CCAs, you are graded on the amount of CCA points you have..If you have a CCA, say sports, you gain points by representing the school and additional points for winning medals..If you don't have a CCA, you can earn CCA points by signing yourself up in SP's Enrichment programmes, like the Sports Electives where you learn various sports like Yoga, Archery or Canoeing..CCA is NOT compulsory as a matter of fact, however, it is encouraged to have one. It will be crucial if you want to aim for local Unis"
haha, i would love that. I love enrichment programmes. I would so love to learn canoeing, and so much more. Cool, eh?
"Results in
poly is different from how it's being calculated in secondary school. For example in sec sch, the exam paper consist of 100%, but in
poly, the exam paper might only consist of 45% of overall marks; and you will have like 10% allotted to attendance, 5% to class conduct, 20% to common test, 20% to daily work, 5% to E-quiz and online assignments, just to quote some examples. So add up together = 100%. Therefore, even if you fail the exam paper, it might not mean you will fail the overall marks for your module. "
" it's really
hard to fail in poly. I can only think of 2 factors.
Bad foundation in module (forgivable, but could have studied more)
Never hand in assignments, rarely attend lectures, never do practical, then you deserve to fail."
" if you have a wardrobe of clothes you want to flaunt,
love shopping for new clothes and hate to wear the same old uniform as everybody else, go to a polytechnic!
if you hate writing essays,
hate chinese, hate studying, go to a polytechnic!
if you
hate singing the national anthem and reciting the pledge, go to a polytechnic!"
yea, i'm sick of failing. JC life is difficult. U need to be really good in English and have a great amt of knowledge for the general paper. I don't read widely and my English sucks, so i think i will die in JC. Furthermore, if you go JC, if you happen to fail or stuff like that, you have to go poly. I'm so not gonna waste my time in JC then go poly. I might as well go to poly in the beginning. Maybe i will work and study at the same time. haha, it would be a joy if i do not have to sing the anthem two times every morning in school.
i don't know if all these are true but i heard my mum and my relatives telling me that Poly is better. I trust them, so i'm certainly heaidng down the poly route. For business courses, i need maths, humans, english. I don't even need science, so i don't have to let myself suffer now by learning pure science. i can take combined science instead.
Target for my o lvl:
English: b4/b3
Chinese:b3/a2
geography:a1/a2
a maths: a1
e maths: a1
combined humans: b3/a2
physics:c5
chemistry:c5
combined science: a1/a2(i heard mrs singh mentioned that pure science students who dropped pure science and go to combined science has a high chance of As. At least an a1/a2 is better than two c5.)
