O level results coming out soon!

[Kusje]

Think my son' was 6-7k a year.....excluding transport and makan allowance. No uniform, must buy laptop (complusary) and many assignments to do....rarely comeback by 7pm......always after 9 due to class and lectures! Its like working whole day + overtime. Only breakfast at home.....lunch, dinner in school. Rough estimate for these are about $10-15 a day. That was about 5 years back.

R4 is for poly and R5 is for jc aggregate! Mother tongue + best 4 or 5 subject.

 

Only the 6-7k is relevant lah. The rest every JC student or human also sama sama lah. Must eat and travel.

 

Actually R4 and R5 is not the best 4/5 subjects. R should stand for relevant - they have some criteria on what is relevant and what is not. 

 

During my time donkey years ago, need at least 1 humanities, 1 science and 1 maths subj. The other 1 or 2 subjects can be up to you.

I knew one boy who was in poly and father give him $100-150 a month....he survived and now i heard he went on to one of the local U. Very good boy.....best English and best student of his cohort. Hear his story like i want to cry like that!

called son and was told he got 7 L1R5.

its his choice to make just as how he chose ngee ann sec then. I seldom interfere with his decision.

 

 wondering is  temasek or meridian. I guess for environment factor, meridian would be better.

A levels exam... You won't be compared with just the same school leh.

[Lala81]

To me it's the no brainer. Obviously choose the best school.

VJC > TJC >> Meridian.

If your son choose meridian, better tok his head a few times check if some screws are loose.

Yeah.

If the peers around u are strong academically, no choice, u also will pulled along to improve yourself.

the boy i mentioned know he didn't want to go VJ cos he was already in VS

 

He knows he ability but chose a less stress environment amd he registered Meridian without the parents knowing, he still get all As in A level.

[Tianmo]

my family all go via the poly route, my elder daughter went to poly, the 2nd one also already decided on going to poly and both will do their undergrad after diploma. My son looking at DSA SST follow by poly and NTU after that. They plan themselves, mayb influence by my bothers who all went to NTU via poly.

Networking counts mah. Fact of life. 

 

Fact is that in VJC he is more likely to meet and know higher flyers.

Even simple things like interview positions for universities for scholarships etc, a more elite JC makes a difference.

[Lala81]

Of course if u have it, u can succeed anywhere. But if you're just an average joe, then better follow conventional path.

wah steady boy leh ham!!!.
