Hi, my subjects for 2009 GCE O level grade is as follow.
English - C5
E Maths - D8
Combined Science - D7
Combined Humanites - D7
Chinese - B3
Food and Nutrition - B3
I am currently in NS and is very busy with the work. I am only able to cope with only 1 or 2 subject. So should I retake my Maths and science or just maths only? Is it possible to gain admission to poly with 4 subjects of 12 point or 5 subjects with 19 points provided that my maths grade after retaking is A1? I heard that people retaking Science need to find a place for them to do praticals, so where am I going to find that?
Thanks for helping me :D
Hi there!
Whether to retake or not really depends on what you want to do after NS.
If your grades allow you to go to ITE, then you need not retake.
If you want to go to polytechnic to get your diploma, then yes, you need to retake. It really depends, you have to check with the various polytechnics for their minimum entry requirements. Most poly courses require a at least a D7 for EMaths, its part of the L1R4.
If you have a N Level, then use your N Level to go to ITE.
I wish to go polytechnic. My final decision is that I would retake my science and maths and AIM for A1 :D
