  Don't wait.  Call them everyday to follow up your case.

  If you are serious in retaking "O" level, the right choice you should make is to take up the "O" level revision course in ITE : http://www.ite.edu.sg/wps/portal/pts.se.rc , in the past this "O" level revision course is called Best and WISE course until it was replace by Employability Skills System (ESS) qualification as an alternative to "N" and "O" level to be accepted by "other" employers You can read more here : http://app2.wda.gov.sg/wsq/Contents/Contents.aspx?ContId=934 But the "O" level course for ITE remain. Anyway at an public school instead of private school you didn't have to worry that your teacher would be absent from your "O" level class.

   

  Alternatively you can also take up "O" level class from public organization like CDAC : http://www.cdac.org.sg/eng/programmes/tuition/tuition_programme/secondary.htm . Finally god bess you that you can have have refund back from your private school if you have already pay your fee, cos from my experience, private school are not "professional" in term of education training or business operation, meaning can closed anytime !

  They don't allow to change from English to Combined Science.. I'm required to pay another $1800++ But I really want to retake Science now ... I'm blank ... @.@

  They don't allow me to top up money for Combined Science. So should I follow my previous subject: English, Math and Combined Humanities? OR Add on Combined Science(Chem/Bio) If that case i'll be studying four subjects. I should have discuss it here in the first place, before registering with them... Need advice :'(

  Add on combine science. A second chance doesn't come easily, and since you'll be studying private, you will need to also include combine science. I'm sure the time table will be set at a comfortable pace for you.

  Because the offical SEAB registration have not started yet, you still have chance and opportunity to convince and cajole  them to add in another subject for you. If the administrator does not allow you to add, then request a meeting with the manager instead.  I'm sure someone at the top is willing to add on the subject for you.

  Hello! Already started lesson in my private school! My friend told me that the private O and government O has got their own bell curve!? Is it true? I thought regardless of private or government, we still share the same bell curves what! O.0 please clear my doubts!

  You only attend lesson from private school, their prelim's bell curve is based on the overall corhort from the school itself.

  For the actual GCE O level, the bell curve is measured as the total corhort taking O level in Singapore.  You will still take the papers in Singapore, but the papers will be sent to london for marking exactly like how it happened in sec sch.
