2016 O levels (Kids born in 2000)
-
jtoh:
I have friends whose kids were not doing too well in secondary school so they opted for Poly after O levels. I can see they've really blossomed there. The courses they took appealed to them and they no longer needed to struggle with subjects which would have been compulsory had they chosen to do A levels, like GP. They intend to go on to university.
The old A level (my time) is somewhat more forgiving towards students with strength in specific areas (e.g. Science / Maths) but weak in others (e.g. languages and humanities). Unfortunately, with this contrasting subject thingy, students need to be all-rounder now or they may be pull down in their overall grades. -

I also find that boys, having tasted some working life in the army and having a couple more years to mature, will be more focused when they start university. Girls (with some exceptions, of course) are usually less mature, less sure of what they want, and still in a playful mood!
i thought GIRLS have advantage of time since they do not have to serve NS.slmkhoo:
Yes, Janet, no rush - he's got 3 yrs plus NS. Some guys I know even changed their minds and re-applied for a different course during their NS years. Boys have that advantage of time. Girls decide faster partly because their deadline is earlier; my JC2 daughter still has no idea what she wants to do (although she is finally narrowing things down a bit) and she will really be running out of time soon.
now that you have explained your daughter's situation, i have a better understanding. thank you. -

Regarding Commerce or Science streams, I thought Commerce stream has been scrapped? Only left Arts or Science? Anyway, to do well in Science stream, M (A and E) and S (preferably pure sciences during O) must be very good.
Commerce stream has been discontinued in JCs, but MI still has it. I think many students who are interested in the Commerce subjects now go to Polys. -
Does anyone know when the O levels cert will be ready for collection? Or they will send it to us? My boy hasn’t a clue

no idea. how come it is not ready when results were released like psle? -
The students need to collect the certificates from their respective schools. Do check the school website for the date, I believe it will be in March as according to the SEAB website, private candidates may collect the certificates from MOE starting March.
