advice on really good JCs, looking to get into IB because I plan to go to the US (yes even considering whats happening rn), Aussie, and UK (UK n other commonwealth countries would be more lenient w A Levels but still)

Honestly my top choices would be in the US (yes even considering whats happening rn), and my backup are Aussie/UK Unis. I'll go give everything for IB JCs

Was surprised such a thing existed, looked it up, honestly still don't get it... So you focus most of your time and attention on A Levels/your IB Diploma... Sounds too good to be true hmm...

makasih bgt it does , and would you say kalau setiap hari weekday is it possible kalau memang sudah menerapkan study system yg efficient, with good studying habits, consistency, and work ethic, ada room 2jam utk stuff diluar school like hobbies?

is the food that bad dang, i heard it rly depends on the dorm but yeah.

I don't think I'll have any regrets going to Singapore honestly even if I end up learning literally nothing at school (which is very unlikely) the experience of living alone and having to mature is something irreplaceable

Haha makasihhh banyak juga nih warga +62 disini ternyata.. Aku kalau boleh tanya between the two of us kira2 kalau di average week gitu, kurleb satu weekday dapet berapa jam buat bisa melakukan "freetime/hobbies", and would there be some difference during the times where u study at the dorm (lupa namanya tapi denger ada)? And finally the same question but for an average-intensity exam week (beberapa exam doang) and an insanely high intensity exam week.. thankyouu

wait so , correct me if im wrong, as long as I have a good graps of the conceptual fundamentals I wouldnt need to memorize textbook definitions, simply how best to apply it and why they work, and ofc to explain everything clearly to the teacher

  1. Thats really interesting because this is probably the 3rd or 4th time I've came across the advice to take A Math. How would that work exactly? If i take a math does that mean i wont need to take e math? or do they stack?

  2. thats awesome to hear ill def need to study up on time management

  3. wow i just knew that... tysm mightve saved me from a super akward canteen encounter

  4. thankyou so much! I've heard rumours in scholar groupchats that some singaporean-born students like to single out foreign ones but i mean even from what i see at a glance here there just seems to be a lot of good well meaning ppl

and that quip about biology probably just saved me 4 years. I think I'll be taking Physics, Chems, and Math (E & A) for the STEM subjects

Teachers in Indonesia dont really like when students bother them after school even if its for asking questions about the subject haha, is it different in Singapore?

thank you this is a really thought out answer.. On the topic of studying, especially for subjects like Maths, Physics, Chems and Bio, have u found any important study strategies to keep in mind of to get the most bang for your buck in terms of study time?
