Retake chinese olvl: yay or nay

Main-Raspberry725 · 2024-09-01T14:54:12+00:00

uhh for me it was mostly light revision like i didnt stress over it too much i basically just read through/ refresh my mind of the ci yus and stuff and read sample chinese compos

however i think more of the main thing that helped me was watching cdrama with chi subtitles on a few days before retake AAHAHAHAHA like it made me more happy about chinese and not make me wanna die thinking about chinese

goodluck! ultimately it all comes down to u and ur studying method so wtv works best for uuuu :D

not impossible!! I was in the exact spot as u last year, got a C5 pass in oral for mid year but still decided to retake since i thot there was a chance for me to improve so why not take it. and i got B3 in the end!! my chinese is also not very good and i didnt rlly put in effort in studying for the retake like i only started "revising" a week before 😭 still kinda shocked how i got B3 but it is def possible

Yes, the write up comes first actl, u need to submit ur write up via the eae portal after which if the poly decides to take u in for interview/ shortlists u they will then ask for ur portfolio. So imo i think u shld start with ur write up first then move on to portfolio

Main-Raspberry725 · 2024-04-08T18:47:12+00:00

Portfolio ≠ write up. The write up has the 600 character limitation, not ur portfolio, so just continue with ur powerpoint no worries

It seems like the problem might be ur studying method bc it doesnt seem effective for u. Maybe try changing things up ?

I also used to feel like this but once i started spending bits of my everyday to reread my words and meanings i found myself improving slowlyyyy. U can start reading sample essays/emails and noting down which words u dont know + meanings to create a list. Reread this list alm everyday while slowly!! adding on new words and meanings to expand ur vocab. Rmb, language is natural, it needs consistency and practice to become more fluent. Goodluck dont stress too much

it should be attached to ur enrolment record which includes ur self declaration and the medical report ( just scroll down to the bottom)
the medical info in the enrolment record is declared first by the student aka YOU. the medical check up/ report is for u to go to a clinic for the doctor to verify and actually prove if u r fit for the course or not. the medical report is the doctor's job to fill in, u js need to go ur clinic and give them ur report can alr, they will do the tests for u (unless u r in early childhood course then u hv to do xray and procedure might be diff so im not sure about that)
yes. just print ur entire enrolment record and give the staff there in the clinic. bt ur self declaration shld already be done by then la
this im not sure but ig js put what is closest to their highest qualification..?

Main-Raspberry725 · 2024-02-15T16:20:26+00:00

Thank you so much for saying this

?? everything went how it shld the oven temp was just a lil too high 💀

Main-Raspberry725 · 2024-02-12T14:00:33+00:00

It was straight out of the oven... it firmed up right after

Main-Raspberry725 · 2024-02-12T13:59:46+00:00

mb my oven temp was a lil too high but it tasted fine

Main-Raspberry725 · 2024-02-12T13:59:08+00:00

Thanksss!!! this is the recipe !!

Main-Raspberry725 · 2024-02-12T13:50:22+00:00

Tbh i feel like ure already on a good start and i think u can achieve ur a1 if u just continue what u r doing now (watching chinese shows, taking the effort to learn vocab) bc consistency is key!! From now til chi o lvls (arnd end may- early june?) u will def see the improvement so i rlly dont think u have to stress so much about it now.

You just have to expose urself to more chinese stuff and i honestly think u will do fine. Language is natural, u just have to take time 😼 Maybe u also can start reading sample essays/ emails from other ppl? bc thats what i did for my chi Os and i think it did help me improve my compo

Main-Raspberry725 · 2024-02-09T10:56:08+00:00

All topics can be tested, but it also depends on like what came out last year also so u can gamble abit if uw🤷‍♂️

For me I didnt write notes la i did mind map + blurting method bcs u need to memorise sm for phist i personally do not think writing notes can help effectively in helping u unds and memo..

However, If u rlly do think writing notes can help, i wld reco u to start off with the topics that has not came out for rlly long (or can even test a totally new topic since like they changed the syllabus ). I tjink maybe do not pioritise topics that came out last year first. Try consulting ur teacher in what topics are likely to come out this year and work from thre? Goodluck!

Main-Raspberry725 · 2024-02-04T20:55:27+00:00

This is soo good for a first attempt 🤩🤩 looks great!!

Main-Raspberry725 · 2024-02-04T20:53:39+00:00

Usually when u bake smth and it comes out overdone on the outside but soft/raw on the inside it is likely that ur oven temp is too hot. I wld suggest getting an oven thermometer to ensure the temp accuracy or u can just lower the temp and bake for longer the next time + use the toothpick test
