  Hey guys, Ive just received my n-level results a day ago. my results were bad. I only got 19 points. Ive got a dilemma whether should I go sec 5 or ITE. if I go take higher nitec, do I have to be the top --% in the cohort to get a place in poly? friends encouraged me to go to sec 5 but I dont know if I can cope in sec 5. the highest grade I got was 3 which is bad. any advice or opinion? thanks in advance.

  Go to Sec 5. Get your good O levels.

  Then to go JC or milennia for

  A Levels.
  
  A levels is recommended becos it'll surely let you go into uni.

  Specifically NUS.

  Only da top 10% of poly grads gets into NUS.

  So don't waste time going to Poly.

  Go to JC or Milennia.

  That's why go to Sec 5.

  Sec 5 will be better. Even if u flunk ur O's you can still go into private studies if you have 5 passes (C6)

  4 years ago i was like you, donno whether to go Sec 5 or ITE.

  With my friends and parents encouragement i went sec 5.

  Yes that sec 5 year is tough, but thank god i choose sec 5 and get into a poly. now im about to grad from poly already.

  Listen to my advise, go sec 5.

  Sec 5 may be tougher for you noe.but it doesn't mean you can't catch up.why not start revising what your teacher has taught now? It's better late than never.

  If u choose to go ITE,it will be'easier ' only in te beginning because,u have to consistently top the cohort in ITE and poly to secure yourself a good place in UNI.whereas the sec5 route,u can study hard,get good o level results.go jC get good Alevel result.secure a place in UNI.

  Btw in my sch,abt 80++%make it to UNi...while poly about 5-10% nia...either way u have to workhard.

  But I would recommend u to take the sec5 route.saves time.

  JIAYOU.you can do it!
