Of course stressed lah. Assuming the cohort size is 45,000, of which 50% are boys, and with RI intake at 450, u need to be the TOP 2% in SG to get in, or wait for kids in this 2% to give up their seats coz they rather be somewhere else.

Top 2% leh!! How not to be stressed?

But IP is risky in that if you screw up your As you don’t have an O level cert to fall back on.

Then just repeat your A levels.

Nowaday, even a degree don’t guarantee you anything. Don’t have to mention about A level cert. Is even more true with O level cert.

I dont think so easy to repeat esp if you are a boy and your results are neither here or there.....NS is pending.....
