Thanks Floppy. How does the bonus point works? Do you mean the bonus point is deducted from his total aggregate for ITE admission?

Not so easy to explain in a few words but you can read the details here: https://www.ite.edu.sg/docs/default-source/admissions-docs/full-time/publications/admission-booklet/gce-n-admission-booklet-2020.pdf (page 16, but page 20 of 140 of the PDF)

Essentially, ITE coverts your N / O results into some aggregate points and use that to assess who gets posted into the course. Having good NA scores in the core subjects mean you get 2 points (4 points max) off the ITE aggregate score, which is helpful to get into popular courses.

Hi! I just joined Kps. I would like to introduce myself as Teacher Felina. I specialise in Math and Science. I have taught students taking N levels.


Please check with the school if your nephew could take exp English in addition to NA English. Then the better score will be taken into consideration after sitting for both papers. N levels papers usually easier to score though. But this privilege of doing both N levels and O levels for same subject is only offered in some schools unfortunately. Hope this helps. Thank you!

At the secondary school/JC, even University level, what is taught is actually the mere basic foundation of the subject (even if technically detailed).

When the kids actually come out into the workplace, what they need is street savvy and EQ to learn on the job. This could be the latest technology/developments/best practices whatever you want to call it. Can’t be learnt from textbooks as all textbooks are several years’ old research and long outdated.

Met so many interns/fresh grads who came in with stellar grades & scholarships but couldn’t apply their book knowledge.

Learning is a continuous lifelong journey. I don’t want my kid to ever think he has “arrived” after getting a degree.

\"Learning is a continuous lifelong journey\" is not wrong, undergrad training for EQ also not wrong either. But emphasis seems misplaced here. If EQ is so utterly important, why there were not tonnes of them for students to learn? It is only when you have expertise in science and technology, EQ will be an added advantage, not the other way round. Yes, some art graduates can be a general management staff, but he or she will be limited without technical competencies. If everyone is a manager, who will be scientists and engineers. In this \"Alibaba era\", thus, tech and EQ is summed up as technopreneurship? The right message to our younger generations is that they must equip themselves with technical skills first, this is essentially the tasks of our schools and colleges. Of course, their relative importance also depends on whether your kids will opt for technical or non-technical career. While great majority of kids typically have no idea about what they want to be, the safe bet is to excel in all subjects. Yes, straight “A”s! That is where we tutors can help lah, Hahaa!

Hi parents! Asking for a dear friend of mine, if her daughter wants to become an accountant, which subject combination would you recommend. Her overall is 77%.

[doodbug]

Double Maths

Apart from that, no other necessary prerequisites.

[phtthp]

Make sure must have two Maths (E Maths and A Maths).


Mathematics is the most important subject, whether student

proceed to Junior College or to Ngee Ann Polytechnic (Accountancy Diploma, as example) later on after O-level

Hi doodbug, if she can choose between A-math and POA, which one would you recommend? Considering that she is able to get good marks for both.

A Maths for sure. For more future pathways. If going to JC, A Maths is a must, to take H2 Maths.

Can anyone give some advice on humanities subjects? which ones are more manageable? which ones are easier to score more marks?
