spiderpigSome guy at this forum I frequent posted this that really ticked me off:
"Erm.. Your defintely dead..
First of all.. I don't think there's such a thing as C7.. its D7..
Anyway you're only 13.. You got 2 more years to screw around before you actually start mugging.. I didnt start till the week before my Os anyway..
So enjoy the next 2 years.. Screw up your prelims when you're Sec 4 so you'll get 3 months off the next year. Just do well for your Os and you'll be fine."
My answer?
"
KID. DON'T LISTEN TO THIS GUY. XD
Really larhz, if you want to have a chance at the Os, don't screw up and slack your Sec 1 and Sec 2 years. The most important thing is Maths. Don't screw that up. Subjects like Elect Hist and Geog are somewhat "last-min" subjects. You CAN revise them like, two weeks before. But even that's unadvisable.
I'm not asking you to bury your head in books, but at least keep up to date with your studies. If you want to get any course you want, be it in a top JC or in a Poly, you need grades. Studying last minute or starting to study in Sec 4 WILL screw everything up."
SO KIDS WHO HAVEN'T TAKEN THEIR O LEVELS AND ARE READING THIS. LISTEN TO ME DAMNIT. Don't screw up your life in Singapore, because everything IS based on our fucked up meritocracy and you DO need grades to advance ANYWHERE.
