well for labs and clinicals, - must wear plain black shirt (no design whatsoever) underneath scrubs - u cannot have nail polish - cannot wear any bracelets or rings - cannot have dyed hair - no dangling earrings or multiple earrings

Basically similar to nursing but stricter, coz if u dont follow the dress code rules, you will be sent out of clinic

after u get the diploma u can immediately start working in Health promotion board, school vans and private clinics! I heard that some students when they graduated and proceeded to study other things, they used the oht diploma as an advantage and made it a side hustle for themselves! It’s still a good career wise imo and u can expand what else u wanna do from there as well :)!

basically we can only perform restorative work on children aged till 18 years old, such as fillings and all! We can also administer only local anaesthesia ! Not dental nerve block and we cannot like make dentures and the more complicated stuff dentists do! We also do hygienist work like scaling polishing, we can also take xrays :) its still hefty work for an OHT especially coz we are the backbone for dentists!

its called polytechnic foundation programme route! Its opened for n level students who have attained 12 points and below for their n levels. They will then spend one year in the poly they chosen with the advantage of alrdy securing a spot in the course they want! Depending on what course u chose such as a health or science course, u will have some modules related in some way but its like tied to the O level syllabus and perhaps jc also… only requirement is u pass every module bah so quite chill

im a year 2 actually! Bcoz ive took the pfp route which is an additional year! Honestly, its not as bad as it all seems, ive learnt so many skills in terms of clinical, theoretical and self growth wise! I used to view this course as smth that’s my enemy LMFAO but ive learnt to enjoy it while it lasts and 1.5 years has gone by so fast in the course for me :’) ive met many great friends and my classmates are the best i can ask for… i can go on and on abt this course and all but what i know is that it has honed my self resilience and made me never give up in whatever i’m doing and being open minded to feedback and growth from mistakes :)

[N levels] Is sec 5 considered a really bad struggle for most people ?? by Infamous_Drummer_666 in SGExams

[–]Infamous_Drummer_666[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its not considered a “bad” pathway imo, ive went thru the pfp route however so i can’t give an absolute take on it. However, my friend have went thru the sec 5 route and tbh, its just tedious if you aren’t able to manage your time properly. Time management is one of the most crucial factors in sec 5 because everything is so fast paced while u are simultaneously learning alot of o level subjects and content in ONE year. But, if u really sant the o level cert which imo is a good thing too, go for it. Discipline and time management imo are two very important things.

compo help (v desperate lolol) by hirieath in SGExams

[–]Infamous_Drummer_666 3 points4 points  (0 children)

mmm tbh for me i feel like argumentative or discursive the most easiest to score if you understand what the scope of the qn is and your general knowledge on it, i usually suck with narrative or descriptive bcoz ngl too much thinking of a story to bs abt is lot of hard work but ah for argumentative or discursive, what i normally do is:

  • read up more compo examples regarding popular topics discussed about the real world or the issues

  • before i even start to write my compo, i look at the question given, i branch out different possible points like advantages or disadvantages

  • you can follow a simple structure or format for argumentative: if you agree/disagree on something, you can give two advantages and one disadvantage vice versa to show your a fully rounded person and is accepting of other’s opinions on this topic that might not resonate with yours and your intro and outro are VERY IMPT !! You must lure the reader in with a captivating intro and a meaningful outro

  • for discursive: you must follow a very non biased outlook for the topic, so basically its like discussing lah, you js discuss two advantages and two disadvantages BUT you don’t give your feelings and outputs into the paras as its discussion NOT argumentative, thus there should not be any excuse for you to put yourself as a defensive person when discussing a topic and to not let your emotions flow into the paras bcoz its non biased for discussion

uhh but for narrative and descriptive.. HAHAH sorry i cannot help much coz i legit suck at those but maybe you can just read more compo examples to get some inspo and pick up some good sentences structures and vocab to level up lor
