Oh, he didn't take GP, har? Or Mother Tongue? But to do all those 4 core subjects at A-levels really not easy already! That was the exact combination i took at a-levels - at 18years old!

You also another exceptional \"A\" Level kid, most regular ones must do 6 la. How you escape har?
I agree these 4 is already not easy plus he is also all-rounder.

Haha - I regular lah. Where got exceptional? Took 6 subjects. Those 4 plus GP & MT.[/quote]Alamak, I read wrongly already... This was the medicine combo...you must be good! Dr. Phankao?

Wonder why he didn’t do his MT & GP. For me, those are the easiest papers to sit. Easy because, there is no need to study.

Exposure and maturity not enough? Just guessing. :?

Wah, you must be from the same \"era\" as me. \"Medicine\" combo indeed. I think only during our time it was known as that! Nowadays nobody refers to it as such. Me ... Dr Phankao? If so, then I took too many sleeping pills liao - self-medicated some more. LOLz.

No such thing as \"Medicine\" combination now. JC students can only take at most 3 of the maths&science subjects at 'A' levels, plus one humanities (our education system is quite rigid .. why can't one take 4 science subjects now, what's the rationale???). Probably only NUS High students can continue to take all 4 subjects up to Year 6 (but no 'A' levels though).

I think currently only Maths & Chemistry are compulsory subjects for the Medicine course in NUS.

Not to detract form his achievements, but the British A-levels are somewhat easier than the Singapore-GCE A-levels in terms of breadth and depth.

This is absolutely correct.

In fact, the British A-level Mathematics looks like Singapore O level Additional Maths.
