The book list is displayed in the RI book shop. I think there are only a few books to purchase, other than files and stationery.
They are 2 literature books, Maths (Sec3) and HMT textbooks and workbooks.

[quote=\"jtoh\"]Before you apply for an RA, make sure you are passionate about the subject and are not doing it because it's 'prestigious' or looks good on your portfolio. Also be sure you are able to commit to the additional workload. If you are passionate about the subject, RA will be a joy despite the additional workload. You will not even think of dropping it. Conversely, if you aren't coping, the school will ask you to leave the RA programme, not you asking to be allowed to drop it.

Hi jtoh,
When u said not coping, do you mean not coping with the RA subjects or not coping generally as in the overall GPA dropped below 3.6 or both?

Thanks.

There are minimum requirements to meet for staying in RA. These requirements apply to both RA grades as well as minimum overall GPA.[/quote]Thanks. Do u have any idea what is the dropout rate for the RA? Understand that they will be sitting for different test papers. Are the papers very tough?Do not want his overall gpa to fall too drastically. Is it wise to take up 2 RAs?
Any comments fr anyone. TIA

Piggylalala, like yourself, I hv many questions related to doing 2 RAs.


We hv the chance this evening to seek advice from yr3s and teachers. So go prepared with ur list of questions.

[PiggyLalala]

I won't if it was me. Not everyone is offered RA. If too heavy can quit later.
