My L1R5 was 6 points without minusing CCA. Went to poly instead of JC and everybody thought I was crazy. I didn't do that well cos I was very playful and sick of studying. Graduated poly with GPA of 2.7. Couldn't get into local U and was extremely devastated. Then I went to work and get experience for few years first and save up along the way. Took private degree in PSB under University of Western Australia. Got first class. Now I'm in NUS taking masters sponsored by company. Moral of the story is : it's ok to fuck things up along the way, you'll eventually get there. Also, it's not a bad idea to work after your diploma first. That will make you more valuable than fresh grads who have no experience at all.

@@sugarlove8064 💜💜🥺aww. I hope you will find interest in whatever course you are doing now. And hopefully can appeal to your ideal course in University
@@sugarlove8064 Do your best in this course just to get through this part of your life. Meanwhile, try doing other things that are related to the path you like -- either take online classes or pick up a side project to hone on your skills. It will come in useful when you want to show your portfolio to further opportunities down the line.
As a Millenial who just entered the workforce not too long ago, trust me, they never ever ask for your grades, they will just ask what can you contribute as a person to the workplace and company. Your skills you learnt in ITE/poly/uni plays 50% of the skills, the other 50% will be outside of your curriculum THAT will be a determining factor in getting jobs like those of leadership skills, multitasking, how you bridge gaps between people, conflict management etc. Don't be too hard on yourself, I flunk my first year poly also but I was able to pick up in yr2 and 3. You will figure a way out. You may not be the brightest in school, but when it comes to the outside world, you might be the one they look for. Keep a positive attitude will go a long way.
@@okayyyy335 People don't hire you for your grades, grades are mainly just to get a diploma/degree etc. getting 90rp doesn't really mean anything to an employer other than "Okay, this guy can work hard" but a diploma/degree at least proves the former + proves that you have the required knowledge needed to work in that job.
Got 26 for O Levels L1R4, went to ITE and then subsequently poly, but now final year student in local uni. Scores in the middle of life dont matter much, what matters is how you continue on after that.
Good luck to everyone taking O levels results/taking O levels exams soon! Totally agree w what Fauzi said, "Whatever path you choose is your right route". More important to do what you are passionate about than to pursue the "right" route which you are not interested in.
hi i would like to say that this video made me rest assured that something good will come out eventually in the end:) was really drained when many teachers told me that prelims will be a rough gauge of where u are in the o-level but hearing stories by ppl saying how ppl can jump from 30+ points in their prelims to 10+ points made me felt confident in myself and gave myself a little hope in the collection of results. hehehehe all the best to the rest of the ppl taking the results on mon;)
my L1R4 was 26 points -- lowest point of my life. however got into LASALLE even with my D7 in art, graduated with a diploma, landed a spot in NIE (NTU) to do my teaching degree and life started from there. O levels does not determine your future! i am currently a teacher, and my experience helps out students who were just like me. all of us just start from different stages in life, but with enough hardwork and determination, YOU will get there.
Praise to all of you who shared your O levels results. We can see your results did not matter anymore when you have the drive in your work.Will look forward to see you guys do a video of Kay Poh A levels, Poly and PSLE results. 😅
totally relates to this wat rainier was talking about for A math! The transition from sec sch math to diploma math was mind blowing for me too! Not sure why i wasn’t able to do math in sec 🤣🤣🤣
Wow I didn't know that tsl crew have done so well for their Os. This made me feel so nervous for my results on Monday as I don't think I will do well to get into my desired course in poly but I have done my best. Anyway for those who are getting their results on Monday, I wish all of you the very best and rmb that grades don't define you. Continue to work towards your goal whether you have done well or not and you will become successful. All The Best!!😁 Edit: my L1R4 is 21. Not too good but at least I still managed to get into my desired course. For the rest, hope you have done well!
sew and rainer are people to look up to. it really just shows how much your grades does not really matter as much and that your passion and how youre going to do your passion is what matters i got like 19 points after like cutting, 21 points raw and ngl was very disappointed and i nearly got into a course i didnt like but i ended up in common engineering which isnt too bad. luckily for me i like IT so i got into computer engineering and will probably do Computer Science in Uni (if sem 2 allows it ofc its so difficult wtf lmao) but yes guys, dont ever give up you are only 16,17,18 idk still young youre the one navigating your life! :) all the best 2020 batch
I rmb the time when i took my o level results, first thing I saw was Maths-F9, then I was like HOSEIII LIAO then i looked up, combined science-E8. Yeah good times
I remember only answering 1 question (and writing 2 sentences) for my SEQ for both History and SS. I came out knowing I'm screwed and all I wish for is to at least pass or get a D7 (cause passing itself seemed impossible). The day I got my results, I had a C6. It was an eyesore because I had B3 for everything else so it kinda 'ruined' my cert but till this day I am super grateful with this grade cause I knew that this is the best I can ever have LOL (thank you bell-curve god... and also my batch was really yolo with our O's hence my result lol)
I think my humanities are pretty similar to urs I wish so sure I was gonna get an F9 bcos my ss was getting worser and worser, didn't even finish the SBQ(sectionA), I either wrote "this script is blank" for SEQ(section B) or like 1 sentence for one qn Like literally for my ss exams, I got a 9/100 and than a 9/50 if I'm not wrong And my geog had gone worse and worse from C to D to E Turns out I got a C6 Prob bcos of bellcurve thing Was also an "eyesore" cos I got As and Bs everything besides mt
What I learn from my past exam experiences is that if you feel very confident about a paper. You probably never read the question properly and think it was easy when it wasn’t. Like this you probably pass but never do well
For e Math i felt kinda confident. Brought home the paper, had answers written on them, waited for the answers to be posted on google and started counting the marks I’ve lost. 93/100 A1 So to some extent it’s right and not right
Still remember how my eng teacher gave me so much pressure during o’s and say shit like ‘ you are the worst in class’ embarrassing me infront of the whole class. Ended up I flung my eng paper so badly and did worse than my prelims. lucky that I got B3 for all my other subjects which eventually ended up getting a place in poly. Lol worse experience of my academic journey. My form teacher was even like oh u failed English u need to go ITE despite getting B3 for the rest of my subjects. Peeps that are experiencing this it’s not the end polytechnic will still accept you.
It’s out of topic, but I don’t get why parents always say ‘os isn’t that hard i sat fir it before’ like have you seen the standard of a 2004 amath paper? It’s primary school math
Grades are important in that they pave the way toward a higher likelihood of future success (depending on how you define it), but circumstances are fluid and having average grades or being a late bloomer does not mean you won't succeed in future. I didn't make it into the 3 main local unis, now I'm doing a PhD in the US. Keep working hard!
How to do better for Os: 1. Treat everyone as your enemy 2. Fantasize about beating everyone you hate and rubbing salt with sandpaper into their wounds 3. Study yourself into depression and mental breakdowns 4. Vent all your self hate and destruction into O level paper 5. Get your results back
Kids, I'm so sorry that most of you guys aren't given enough opportunities to see the world, when the society is far beyond school and test papers after test papers. There are so much more things for you to grow to manage the real working society. Be it communication skills, teamwork, being resourceful etc. The exams in the system drives and hones your skills in logical, analytical thinking for basic survival skill in education esp the STEM, in a fixed manner. Great to have those skills in you to move you ahead. But what you need to do is to apply these skills unto real life experiences in making choices in the future. Understand that this is one of your biggest choice in life of 16/17 years. Make a choice that you think it will make you happy and benefit the most after weighing
Guys. If you cant get into the diploma or JC of your choice, just resit for the O levels again next year! It is better to invest an additional year than to regret by doing smth that you dont like for the next half of your life.
Thank you for this super inspiring video 💜 I am so scared for my results. I always did badly for my exams :( . And also, it will be the last day of secondary school if I did well enough to graduate😭
Depending on your interest. My friend had raw 6 and final was 2. But he chose design in poly- parents are in design industry. So.... He kinda got influenced. And did quite well in the line afterwhich. If u know what is your interest and knows it clear, why not?
@harry krishton chill chill. I have friends who are clueless of what to do at 16. Thus going JC is like buying time to figure as well. Haha. That is another way of thinking. However, ultimately, at this age, if you (the inquirer) have the privilege and freedom to choose, go with your heart (after using all knowledge and analytical skills that you have aquired+ the advices you have received). There are so many ways to live and we are one of the many ways. You walk yours. Everyone will have their own unique encounters based on your own choice. Life is exciting ahead! You never know what will happen in poly/JC, but my personal take is, if you know what you want and justify it, be brave to take it. Don't do the same as your peers just because of peer pressure. I have made choices in life that's not in the norm in my circle. But I'm truly happy about it cuz it's my choice and no regrets thus far. Whatever you choose, it's part of your journey in life for you to grow, with different type of nutrients for the future. Cheers!
I was from an "atas" school too so majority go JC but I went to poly. my advice: just don't get influenced by your friends and go to JC just because that's where your friends are going. Do what you want to do. If you think JC is the path for you, go ahead, but if you think poly is better, go for it! Don't feel pressured to go to JC just because that's what's expected of you. I also found JC to be too stressful so that was one of the reasons why I chose poly instead. Also because I prefer to learn more hands on. If you already have in mind what you want to study, maybe going to poly straight is better. But if you're still unsure, going to JC will give you some more time to think it over. If you're interested in a particular industry but not sure about which diploma to choose specifically, most polys have a common programme which allows you to pick the diploma after 1-2 semesters. That way you get to understand the field better before choosing which diploma course to enroll in. Diploma is more useful in terms of finding work because you learn actual skills so you can work after graduating or go uni if you want. But if you go JC is like die die need to go uni cause if not you don't really have any specialized skills so you gotta do well. Of course, not saying go poly slack cause poly is not easy either. In fact, poly might be even more competitive than JC because we're fighting for spots in uni. I can tell you the kind of stuff I've heard competitive people in poly say, I've never heard even from people in my atas secondary school. No matter which path you choose, remember to work hard and you'll get what you want. All the best! Edit: I forgot to mention attend open houses!! Note sure if this is already too late oops but open houses are a good way to find out more about a school and the subjects / courses they offer and to find out more about what it is really about. Of course sadly, covid has not allowed physical open houses to happen but there are still virtual ones. If you've missed the open houses for some schools, you can still at least check out their websites for more info
To sec4s worried for olvls, fret not. Just put in the hard work especially after prelims. Get enough rest so you won't burn out too which is very important. My MYE raw score L1R5 was 30, at the end I've got a 14. Don't neglect more than 2 subjects (one F9 will mess up your L1R5) and drop one subject if you must (if you take 8 subjects). Study smart>study hard.
i got 10 pts. some ppl may say BOO not 6 say for what. I js wanna say like it Doesnt matter. O lvl is a passport to somewhere. So, passport cross immigration border, js keep it in your bag right? thats precisely the case. Its a passport /ticket to JC/Poly. SO, yalls on monday right, pls keep an open heart open mind. Dont be so worked up about it. if you dont do so well, rmb that you will have the chance to shine
@@rashid8409 Idk what cca i wanna go tho-. I was in my previous bball competition team but I kinda wanna try new things without being bad at it😭. Can you suggest me-
Guys-O lvl doesn’t matter but Uni GPA does 😭 With a second lower (3.5/5, avg is B), I can’t even apply to most jobs because their system auto reject based on GPA. I wished I had learned more soft skills when I was younger because in uni the assessment is split into presentation, project, class participation and not just exams. Not that it matters but I got 7A1 and 3A2 (I was a bookworm because my dream was to be a doctor but I ended up studying another random course I know nothing about)
@@mentoscaricature164 I couldn’t get into medicine so my PARENTS chose NUS Business, but I had NO background in econs, and I also cannot talk or present well 😖, I’m only good at math lol. and I’m aware that I have my tuition Teachers to thank for my good results (I think I’m just hardworking but not smart?). So uni was a shock, there is no 10 yr series or tuition, cannot prepare for ppt or ad hoc speeches. So I got lots of B- and C+. I mean usually extroverts or good looking people, will fit into uni culture easier.
@@mentoscaricature164 try to do more internships, I think it works as a way to stand out. Also if possible try to apply through emails and leave out GPA in resume.
@@user-tm8ki6tm9j ye haha of course i just mean that a lot of secondary school kids are "fooled" into going poly with the idea that poly is like a 3 year holiday camp haha
@@akiokoh7481 That rumor you mention isnt totally false. Just that in anything in life you must balanced work/study and play. I had the best time of my life in poly, had lots of fun and still studied well on my own. In comparison, in uni unless you stay in halls and actively stay with you clique, it's hard to have that same kind of experience
@@akiokoh7481 true. I think most people think that because poly is easier to get into, and that it's slightly less stressful than jc + more freedom = can slack and pass. when it's the opposite, in poly there's no time to slack cause gpa is cumulative and you can't like not pay attention, then mug during exams / speed through project near deadline and still do well because that's not really how it works in poly. I have poly classmates who behave like they're still in secondary school :| can't be good for their grades
O level truly does not matter as long as you find your passion during your education journey! I took my O levels in 2014 and if i rmb correctly i got 6A1s 2A2s and 1 B3... was kinda average in my school tbh and i went to a jc... managed to scored average for A level(87.5/90) and currently studying in NUS with an average GPA (4.93/5)...
school grades just determines whether u go to good sch/uni and have higher prospect of getting a job. but after working for 10+ years and graduating with average results, all i gotta say is, in the work force, SKILLS PAYS. like damn, SKILLS REALLY FUCKING PAYS. so if u suck in sch, just learn a skill. i didn't go to a good sch, i was always the last class, my o lvl was alright, my poly gpa was less than 3.0 i see my friends with good grades throughout and graduating uni with degree, and even master.... but its those people who have SKILLS that really earns a lot (and trust me most of them dont even go uni and are earning 4-6k per month or more). so yeah, grades aint everything.
Taking my o lvls this year and I have no motivation to study 💀 watching this makes me feel alright bout my actions help 🫂💀 I see myself as someone not made to study- I just wanna gtfo of sec sch

L1R5 26
I studied my combine humans 3 days before olevel especially my history lol
I studied 2 chapters only
Then my puré sciences I don’t really study much but just a C6 for both
I focus on my amath more than others which I got only B3 ==
Then my emath fck I tot I can get A2 at least cuz it’s super easy
Then end up C5 fml
I didn’t do half of my paper for my paper 2 english
English got D7
Flash back during steaming sec 2 ok la wasn’t that pro but L1R5 is like can go normal kind of JC around 10 la
So my ego start to go up when i went to sec 3 and never study much and never ask anyone in class if I not sure ..
My amath teacher (ALAN CHENG, a male teacher) keep telling me I can’t go JC and told me to drop my amath .. and I am useless and stuff (please it’s damn demoralizing, the fact that i am in the best class among the express stream. Whenever I see smart kids I got demoralized In class ?
Fml ..
But in poly I was so paranoid .. and I abit traumatized alr by olevel
Then no choice whagever I don’t know I stay back
So whenever classmates laugh at me why I so paranoid
I will just say so what I stupid mah
What u expect if i smart i won’t be here .. from there my ego starts to drop and whatever I am not sure of
I will ask anyone .. and everyone
So I will study not at very last minutes ahha
So ok la got play time also
But not so much of slack la in poly cuz was traumatized during olevel
Eventually poly GPA got 3.5 only :(
But nvm better than nothing
Then went to SIT
Wah TUM chemical engineering .. was so xionggg
2 years of 4 semesters and 6-7 modules per semester
1 day can cover 6-7 topics
Everyday need go school (9am - 5:30 Pm) and end so late that I will need take naps before I wake up at night to study ..at 9pm
Every end of months there’s final exams
And we don’t have project works to back up
I quit after that and went to SIM RMIT accountancy ..
Fml ok it’s better got off days to study ..
Cuz I am very new to accounting ahahah never learn POA in olevel
So
I need to study everyday ahha
Ok got distinctions and graduated dec 2020
And 2 weeks after final exam
I got a random call for a job from an MNC
Such a blessing to me during this pandemic since economic is bad also but got a call when I never even apply that job at all..
So random
Actually if you never expect anything it will just come to you
Oh wells my struggles from youth till adult
Idk how to say my struggles ahaha

As a Millenial who just entered the workforce not too long ago, trust me, they never ever ask for your grades, they will just ask what can you contribute as a person to the workplace and company. Your skills you learnt in ITE/poly/uni plays 50% of the skills, the other 50% will be outside of your curriculum THAT will be a determining factor in getting jobs like those of leadership skills, multitasking, how you bridge gaps between people, conflict management etc.
Don't be too hard on yourself, I flunk my first year poly also but I was able to pick up in yr2 and 3. You will figure a way out. You may not be the brightest in school, but when it comes to the outside world, you might be the one they look for. Keep a positive attitude will go a long way.
the fact that they all ended up in a similar workspace, I guess it's safe to say that your grades don't truly define you :)
grades do matter, but eventually your soft skills, drive and ambition matter even more at work :3
@@TheSmartLocal do grades truly matter at TSL? do you hire based on grades?
@@okayyyy335 People don't hire you for your grades, grades are mainly just to get a diploma/degree etc. getting 90rp doesn't really mean anything to an employer other than "Okay, this guy can work hard" but a diploma/degree at least proves the former + proves that you have the required knowledge needed to work in that job.

Totally agree w what Fauzi said, "Whatever path you choose is your right route". More important to do what you are passionate about than to pursue the "right" route which you are not interested in.
hi i would like to say that this video made me rest assured that something good will come out eventually in the end:) was really drained when many teachers told me that prelims will be a rough gauge of where u are in the o-level but hearing stories by ppl saying how ppl can jump from 30+ points in their prelims to 10+ points made me felt confident in myself and gave myself a little hope in the collection of results. hehehehe all the best to the rest of the ppl taking the results on mon;)
Haha. That's me😂 f9 in English for prelims and b3 in the end. Oh... Most of them d7-f9. But Ive got As, Bs, and Cs. 😂😂😂
Not me lol. Prelims L1R4 16, o lvl L1R4 15 before deduction 🥲
How’d you do??
@@prushka1480 I’ll prolly get lower 🥲
my L1R4 was 26 points -- lowest point of my life. however got into LASALLE even with my D7 in art, graduated with a diploma, landed a spot in NIE (NTU) to do my teaching degree and life started from there.
O levels does not determine your future! i am currently a teacher, and my experience helps out students who were just like me. all of us just start from different stages in life, but with enough hardwork and determination, YOU will get there.
omg john is damn smart wtp
Praise to all of you who shared your O levels results. We can see your results did not matter anymore when you have the drive in your work.Will look forward to see you guys do a video of Kay Poh A levels, Poly and PSLE results. 😅

totally relates to this wat rainier was talking about for A math! The transition from sec sch math to diploma math was mind blowing for me too! Not sure why i wasn’t able to do math in sec 🤣🤣🤣
Wow I didn't know that tsl crew have done so well for their Os. This made me feel so nervous for my results on Monday as I don't think I will do well to get into my desired course in poly but I have done my best. Anyway for those who are getting their results on Monday, I wish all of you the very best and rmb that grades don't define you. Continue to work towards your goal whether you have done well or not and you will become successful. All The Best!!😁
Edit: my L1R4 is 21. Not too good but at least I still managed to get into my desired course. For the rest, hope you have done well!
Keep working for what you want and it will come to you :)
sew and rainer are people to look up to. it really just shows how much your grades does not really matter as much and that your passion and how youre going to do your passion is what matters
i got like 19 points after like cutting, 21 points raw and ngl was very disappointed and i nearly got into a course i didnt like but i ended up in common engineering which isnt too bad. luckily for me i like IT so i got into computer engineering and will probably do Computer Science in Uni (if sem 2 allows it ofc its so difficult wtf lmao) but yes guys, dont ever give up you are only 16,17,18 idk still young youre the one navigating your life! :) all the best 2020 batch
That English teacher that gave the Harry Potter advice is rly wise... I was doing it and may be one of the reasons I got A1 in 2009 without tuition
Harry Potter…hmmm
I rmb the time when i took my o level results, first thing I saw was Maths-F9, then I was like HOSEIII LIAO then i looked up, combined science-E8. Yeah good times
Then what happened to you? Go ite or retake?
I remember only answering 1 question (and writing 2 sentences) for my SEQ for both History and SS. I came out knowing I'm screwed and all I wish for is to at least pass or get a D7 (cause passing itself seemed impossible). The day I got my results, I had a C6. It was an eyesore because I had B3 for everything else so it kinda 'ruined' my cert but till this day I am super grateful with this grade cause I knew that this is the best I can ever have LOL (thank you bell-curve god... and also my batch was really yolo with our O's hence my result lol)
I think my humanities are pretty similar to urs
I wish so sure I was gonna get an F9 bcos my ss was getting worser and worser, didn't even finish the SBQ(sectionA), I either wrote "this script is blank" for SEQ(section B) or like 1 sentence for one qn
Like literally for my ss exams, I got a 9/100 and than a 9/50 if I'm not wrong
And my geog had gone worse and worse from C to D to E
Turns out I got a C6
Prob bcos of bellcurve thing
Was also an "eyesore" cos I got As and Bs everything besides mt
What I learn from my past exam experiences is that if you feel very confident about a paper. You probably never read the question properly and think it was easy when it wasn’t. Like this you probably pass but never do well
For e Math i felt kinda confident. Brought home the paper, had answers written on them, waited for the answers to be posted on google and started counting the marks I’ve lost. 93/100 A1
So to some extent it’s right and not right
Why did this show up in my recommendation when I'm gonna receive my O level results today?
Still remember how my eng teacher gave me so much pressure during o’s and say shit like ‘ you are the worst in class’ embarrassing me infront of the whole class. Ended up I flung my eng paper so badly and did worse than my prelims. lucky that I got B3 for all my other subjects which eventually ended up getting a place in poly. Lol worse experience of my academic journey. My form teacher was even like oh u failed English u need to go ITE despite getting B3 for the rest of my subjects. Peeps that are experiencing this it’s not the end polytechnic will still accept you.
i've never vibed this hard at the end of this video... well, doomsday next monday
Me watching this when i"ve already gotten my results in 2020,, good luck to everyone :)
It’s out of topic, but I don’t get why parents always say ‘os isn’t that hard i sat fir it before’ like have you seen the standard of a 2004 amath paper? It’s primary school math

Grades are important in that they pave the way toward a higher likelihood of future success (depending on how you define it), but circumstances are fluid and having average grades or being a late bloomer does not mean you won't succeed in future. I didn't make it into the 3 main local unis, now I'm doing a PhD in the US. Keep working hard!

Kids, I'm so sorry that most of you guys aren't given enough opportunities to see the world, when the society is far beyond school and test papers after test papers.
There are so much more things for you to grow to manage the real working society. Be it communication skills, teamwork, being resourceful etc.
The exams in the system drives and hones your skills in logical, analytical thinking for basic survival skill in education esp the STEM, in a fixed manner. Great to have those skills in you to move you ahead. But what you need to do is to apply these skills unto real life experiences in making choices in the future.
Understand that this is one of your biggest choice in life of 16/17 years. Make a choice that you think it will make you happy and benefit the most after weighing
7:25 .. gives me so much hope
THE HARRY POTTER AND TWILIGHT 😭😭😭
Yo atb to everyone taking results on Monday!! Hope everyone can go to the places they want!
Guys. If you cant get into the diploma or JC of your choice, just resit for the O levels again next year! It is better to invest an additional year than to regret by doing smth that you dont like for the next half of your life.
Why are there beds in the office?
Thank you for this super inspiring video 💜
I am so scared for my results. I always did badly for my exams :( .
And also, it will be the last day of secondary school if I did well enough to graduate😭
haii any advice on which to go? Poly or JC? im in a quite atas school so majority gg jc but its stressful to me. Please any advice? 🙃
Depending on your interest. My friend had raw 6 and final was 2. But he chose design in poly- parents are in design industry. So.... He kinda got influenced. And did quite well in the line afterwhich.
If u know what is your interest and knows it clear, why not?
@@starshine9836 Ohh i see thanks for ur opinion!
@harry krishton chill chill. I have friends who are clueless of what to do at 16. Thus going JC is like buying time to figure as well. Haha. That is another way of thinking. However, ultimately, at this age, if you (the inquirer) have the privilege and freedom to choose, go with your heart (after using all knowledge and analytical skills that you have aquired+ the advices you have received). There are so many ways to live and we are one of the many ways. You walk yours. Everyone will have their own unique encounters based on your own choice. Life is exciting ahead! You never know what will happen in poly/JC, but my personal take is, if you know what you want and justify it, be brave to take it. Don't do the same as your peers just because of peer pressure. I have made choices in life that's not in the norm in my circle. But I'm truly happy about it cuz it's my choice and no regrets thus far.
Whatever you choose, it's part of your journey in life for you to grow, with different type of nutrients for the future.
Cheers!
I was from an "atas" school too so majority go JC but I went to poly. my advice: just don't get influenced by your friends and go to JC just because that's where your friends are going. Do what you want to do. If you think JC is the path for you, go ahead, but if you think poly is better, go for it! Don't feel pressured to go to JC just because that's what's expected of you. I also found JC to be too stressful so that was one of the reasons why I chose poly instead. Also because I prefer to learn more hands on.
If you already have in mind what you want to study, maybe going to poly straight is better. But if you're still unsure, going to JC will give you some more time to think it over. If you're interested in a particular industry but not sure about which diploma to choose specifically, most polys have a common programme which allows you to pick the diploma after 1-2 semesters. That way you get to understand the field better before choosing which diploma course to enroll in.
Diploma is more useful in terms of finding work because you learn actual skills so you can work after graduating or go uni if you want. But if you go JC is like die die need to go uni cause if not you don't really have any specialized skills so you gotta do well. Of course, not saying go poly slack cause poly is not easy either. In fact, poly might be even more competitive than JC because we're fighting for spots in uni. I can tell you the kind of stuff I've heard competitive people in poly say, I've never heard even from people in my atas secondary school. No matter which path you choose, remember to work hard and you'll get what you want. All the best!
Edit: I forgot to mention attend open houses!! Note sure if this is already too late oops but open houses are a good way to find out more about a school and the subjects / courses they offer and to find out more about what it is really about. Of course sadly, covid has not allowed physical open houses to happen but there are still virtual ones. If you've missed the open houses for some schools, you can still at least check out their websites for more info
@@user-tm8ki6tm9j haha I'm actually still sec 2 but this year streaming year so it'll affect my future. Anyway Thank you sm!
To sec4s worried for olvls, fret not. Just put in the hard work especially after prelims. Get enough rest so you won't burn out too which is very important. My MYE raw score L1R5 was 30, at the end I've got a 14. Don't neglect more than 2 subjects (one F9 will mess up your L1R5) and drop one subject if you must (if you take 8 subjects). Study smart>study hard.

school grades just determines whether u go to good sch/uni and have higher prospect of getting a job. but after working for 10+ years and graduating with average results, all i gotta say is, in the work force, SKILLS PAYS. like damn, SKILLS REALLY FUCKING PAYS. so if u suck in sch, just learn a skill. i didn't go to a good sch, i was always the last class, my o lvl was alright, my poly gpa was less than 3.0
i see my friends with good grades throughout and graduating uni with degree, and even master.... but its those people who have SKILLS that really earns a lot (and trust me most of them dont even go uni and are earning 4-6k per month or more).
so yeah, grades aint everything.
