GCE \"A\" level results will be released tentatively,

on Friday to Tues (17 to Feb) 2023,

for students born in 2004,
who have sat for 2022 A level last year.

You can attend
Hwa Chong Junior College,
sit at the back of the school hall,

listen to the most recent, up to date cohort performance,
by individual subject performance,
for F Maths.

Maybe cohort is small for F Maths typically Hci will not reveal publicly therefore I am seeking opinions here.

What happens to the presumably bottom 30% of A level students then? It's not a small group.

A few options

1) they can re-take A Level (SEAB),
as a private candidate.

2) if their parents have $, can send them overseas for some \"bridging\" programme and then later, their child to apply for uni abroad.

3) some A level students applied for Poly

4) some A level students applied for IB overseas


5) Malaysian students will balek rumah, take UK A-level in Kuala Lumpur exam centre, throw away our Singapore SEAB A level.


6) For the boys,
enlist for Army first. Inside Army, got 2 years long time to slowly think of whats the next step to proceed.

I remember seeing a line for applicants from A to apply for Poly admission, if I am correct.

yes there is this pathway. I wonder - should one repeat A levels, or start all over in Poly.

For me, if caught in this situation, no point starting all over in a Poly. I will rather enrol myself to take UK A level, instead

OR

Try IB

Actually I find Poly is interesting in a way can try take 1 course. If like can proceed to next level and if dont like can take some other different course. Am I correct arh ?

but the syllabus different leh, and donno how the local universities will regard the UK A level boards. Plus if taking UK A levels in Singapore, not sure if it will be considered as one does not do GP and PW and what not.

IB has an age limit. I donno whether if you finish and fail A levels, can do IB or not, or may be overaged.

For Msian students, isn't it better if they straight away take UK A instead of try SEAB A first?

Once u are inside a Poly course, u cannot suka suka change to another Poly course in Second year, unless got very valid reasons

Example

Say, after First year of nursing, I will faint, at the sight of blood. So, I appealed to change Poly course, at beginning of my Year 2. Then maybe, can, under this type of rare situation
