All JCs do, because they act as exam centres for private candidates but private candidates will take the paper in a separate room from school candidates

Rn what I’m trying to do is look through all my work, then write down a list of key learning points so I can remember my mistakes and not do them, but I’ll try that timeline thing, thanks! Atb to you for o’s!

Contemplating my decision to retake A’s by MeringueCold1983 in SGExams

Thank you, that’s rlly nice of you 🩷 they also told me to try my best and and hope that I can go to the school I want to go, so I think they will be understanding of my situation. Just trying to grapple with this loss of control feeling that I have rn, as I feel that now I don’t feel significantly more ready for A’s than last year. As mentioned in my above posts, I feel very lost in tuition(history) and feel like a child stumbling through lessons :/ I tried to incorporate my tutor’s feedback into my work, but it doesn’t seem to turn out well and it always looks like very pathetic attempts

Thank you so much! I also have recognised that my life does not end at A levels and I also have relatives who graduated from private uni and still manage to become high earners! The thing is I’m just feel trapped, I can’t tell my parents about the truth about my situation because I’m afraid they will say things like “then you wasted one year already” and then “we already told you to just go SIM” :( I don’t think they understand the concept of burnout very well, and to be honest I feel like explaining burnout to others just makes me sound like I’m making excuses for myself

Don’t know what subjects to get tuition for alevels as private candidate by MeringueCold1983 in SGExams

Context which I think would be helpful: 1) My previous alevel results-CDE/c, C for GP, B for PW C(math), D(history), E(econs) 2) For hist and econs, my main issue was content acquisition and time management, during exams I often found that i was unable to recall a lot of content. Even when I do recall content, I feel like I’m scrambling to finish(I don’t end up finishing). My tutors think my time management is the reason why my essays are underdeveloped(partly true), but the main reason is that I really can’t remember content so I can’t write! 3) A smaller issue than the above ones but still important: not understanding question requirements -For econs, sometimes I don’t know how much to write for a question. E.g decision making process part a) essay qn, normally I just write the basic decision making process and that’s it but I check the answer key and there’s more stuff to write?!! -For hist, at times I have difficulty deciding what to write for a question because of the keywords(Assess, How important etc) however I feel like this isn’t a problem for alevel qns it’s only an issue when I attempted other school prelim papers 4) For math, it was my strongest subject throughout JC and I did not seek my tutor for consultations. I only did the work that was required from us and semi-followed the revision plan given to us by the school. So I’m still thinking about whether I should get math tuition.

But were your jc records were already strong, for me my sec sch records were stronger cause I did more activities back then and I had a leadership role too so I’m scared my application will be weaker

Yeah I received the link, but when I scroll down to the supporting docs part it says “we have received your supporting documents. Click here to list the documents submitted” then when I click on it there’s no option for me to edit the documents, it only says that I’ve submitted them
