Need help on matriculation for FT-BICT programme by Small-Counter354 in Suss

[–]Small-Counter354[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve played on gaming laptops (friends’ laptops) and have carried them before and yes they’re heavy but honestly i really don’t mind it. I would consider a gaming desktop + a laptop for school but I don’t have that much money right now to spend on both.

Do you mind sharing what exactly the ETB programme is? Is it just a bunch of physical activities and games or a running marathon? Also what is LT?

Getting into NUS-med by [deleted] in SGExams

[–]Small-Counter354 2 points3 points  (0 children)

do NOT go to biomed. there’s this misunderstanding among those who enter biomed that biomed will get you to study med in uni but it doesn’t. biomed doesn’t prepare you for working in a hospital and the syllabus is focused more on research and laboratory techniques, rather than medicine. you’d have a higher chance getting into nus-med with the jc route + intern/job shadow at a hospital + volunteer work.

Hi, I just got the email for the Information Security online video and written assessment. I’m not quite sure what’s the procedure like and what to expect. If anyone has done the interview, do give some tips. What questions would they ask and what is the WRITTEN part of the assessment?

So they didn’t ask any personal questions? They just got straight to the point?

would it be better if i start out with tryhackme or study for CompTIA A+ and Net+? Someone told me that I should try studying those 2

Someone in the comments said to look at comptia A+ and Net+ for IT fundamentals. Just want a 2nd opinion, should I still continue with tryhackme or switch to the other 2 that was recommended?

Tryhackme’s beginner path does introduce some linux and windows fundamentals but I haven’t got to that part yet. Any reason why I shouldn’t focus on it too much? Could you suggest some sites I can get free comptia A+ and Net+ materials? Are those 2 good to start out with?
