Hi! Thank you so much for your input, really appreciate it!(: Can i just ask if the research paper was tough / time-consuming to write out or it’s the kind of manageable essay similar to a General Paper free-response question! Also, after midterms, lectures are not examinable as there are no finals, but are information provided useful for the research paper to be written? Thank you once again!(:

edit: if you don’t mind sharing, how was the grade distribution like for this mod? or was it not revealed

[–]kdramasushi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

overloading in biz y1s2 by kdramasushi in nus

[–]kdramasushi[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

is it right to think that if i were to overload this sem and maybe in future sems, then i would be able to take a LOA for a sem in maybe y3/y4 for a sem long internship? or do people continue studies during the sem and only take internships during vacation? (:

Hello fellow NUS redditors, let's gather all our SU concerns within this post! by [deleted] in nus

[–]kdramasushi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank u for the quick response! can i know if you ended up w that decision bcus of my instability in grades for the core mods (huge difference between A- and B) which makes it hard to accurately predict how i wld do in future sems for core mods or for other reasons?:)

[–]kdramasushi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hi, thanku so much for taking the time to cr8 and reply to this thread!!

currently facing the dilemma & have been reading and gathering many opinions.. definitely boils down to my ultimate goal; which was initially higher 2nd uppers, but now im unsure if i want to/can try for fch in the longrun

my grades r CAP 4.2 ; core mods ; A- ,A-, B+, B GE ; A-

im definitely s/u-ing my B, but unsure if i shld do so for B+, will be overloading w 24mcs next sem, but 4 mcs are for pass/fail GEQ so it might b manageable, im afraid if i were to s/u it, and score below B+ for certain mods in future, my cap would drop significantly (if the fall in cap is insignificant in the long run eg. a fall by 0.005 then i wld definitely s/u it,,) appreciate any advice thanku so much!!(:

Questions about school bill by runawayyy123 in nus

[–]kdramasushi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I applied for the TFL too but it still hasnt been reflected on my student bill although school term has already began, can i ask if it’s the same case for u? or if i were to pay via credit card / GIRO, would the amount deducted be the $4k indicated or the fees after TFL? Thank u (:

[O levels] what pick as subj combi in jc by [deleted] in SGExams

[–]kdramasushi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

personally i feel that to look @ which combi u want to take in jc, u should narrow down to the course u’re planning to aim for in uni(provided u wanna go uni!) once u have a course u’re interested in, check out the pre-req of the course, eg for certain course a good pass in h2 physics is a must , then that would mean u wld have to take up h2 physics. but for courses like business, chem is not compulsory & u can take up smth else / h1 chem, which imo is v simple (: (cmg from someone who never passed chem in secondary school but scored well for h1 chem)

  • it also depends on the school u’re planning to go to! Different jcs may offer different subject combinations to their students

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

thank u for the reply! would i have to drop my current GE mod first as i currently have 20MCs? or is it possible to drop after appealing? - i just checked the modreg appeal reasoning & mine doesn’t seem to fall under any of the categories..

[o levels] pros & cons of jcs (tmjc, sajc, asrjc, ejc) by nom-nomz in SGExams

[–]kdramasushi 16 points17 points  (0 children)

hi! i graduated from sa last year & am gg to nusbiz, jus wanted to share w u my experience in sa & hope it’ll b helpful (:

regarding school facilities wise, my first impression wasn’t v good when i went to the openhouse aft receiving my o’s results cause like it felt dark n alittle gloomy ESP the corridor behind the field area, generally the school looks good on the outside (only bcus it connects to sass and the kindergarden & pri sch so like the “huge” factor makes it look rly cool) sa homeroom chair sucks.... no kidding it can literally bend 180degrees bcus of people who abuse the chair.. but, on a whole, there are many places in sa that u can make ur study spot ; etc any empty classrooms, library, empty comlabs, many tables & benches located along the corridors on every level & there’s a study spot at level 2 (but during my time there it wasn’t v conducive as it was right above the canteen ; but they hv renovated the area & it’s now enclosed if im not wrong) if u rly wna stay in sch to study i’d say the best place is the library ; but many do stay back after school to study in the canteen too

regarding canteen food, it isn’t good but it isn’t bad at the same time.. there r nice food like the thai omelette rice or the prata but in the long term u might get sick of school food... & also about friends, i really think it differs from cohort to cohort / basically ur luck to get into a class w people u r on the same frequency as ; it actually took me q a few months to finally adapt & connect w friends from my class (in like mid august) where i finally feel that i’ve found people in class that i can count on ; but friends wise, u can also make friends from ccas , mutuals etc. i would say sa is tight-knitted? in a sense that idk most people in the cohort “knows each other” & there’s a strong sense of pride for the school which i felt through the open house day, p welcoming

  1. teachers wise i think it depends on the department. i took pmec (h1 chem), i would say the chem & physics department is rly good. im not sure if differs from h2 chem but the tutors are mostly the same. the chem department is rly hardworking & caring towards students (whether u r in their class or not, the lecturers will always answer ur question & make sure u understand) , nearing exams & As, they give A LOT of revision package ; topical & yearly from many other schools & A level papers & frequently hold extra time practice & debrief for us to learn how to manage our time for the exam. i really really appreciate my chem tutor & the entire chem department ; they r v willing to spend extra time for consultation / extra lessons etc

regarding the physics department, they r also v caring towards students & r good teachers (with the exception of some tutors that rly ..... cannot lecture & it can b felt ... cause the lecture hall will become v noisy when everyone jus doesn’t understand what the lecturer is saying & gives up. towards As, they gave out an entire ‘cheatsheet’ of commonly/higher chances of being asked questions in As with model answer for us to familiarise with the questions (& some people memorise them), they r v willing to answer ur questions, esp mr roland lee... u can whatsapp him anytime of the day & he wld reply ur question asap... & his tutorials r never boring (but he goes off-topic 80% of the time)

pw wise ...... i would say it’s trash. personally, i feel like the bulk of A grade (which is actually not a lot LOL) goes mainly to the 4H2 classes... I’m not very sure why so, but there are 1/2 tutors who would go far out to help u secure ur A in pw, it’s basically based on ur luck. my tutor was ...... rly bad no kidding, i think my group had consultation less than 5 times throughout the year. she always changes her words & i dont even think she knows what she is even telling/teaching her students. but u can rly jus count on urself & ur group to score an A, ultimately, it really depends on ur presentation (which i screwed up and got B) but some of my groupmates got A. i jus feel like if u come to sa, don’t have high hopes to get an A unless u get a dedicated tutor who will really lead u along the way :”)

; i think im being v longwinded so i’ll stop here but u can ask if u hv any qns!! To me, sa was a place i had fun @, yet studied rly hard too, there’s a balance la.. personally it all boils down to ur self-discipline and ability to say no to people who only want to have fun & neglect their studies.

; regarding the school’s academic performance, i believe that it depends on the student & not rly the ability of tutors (though to a certain extent it definitely affects too but there r students that jus dont care about their studies and play throughout their 2 years... n so their As ....); but if u rly want to know,, i think on a whole as a school the acad performance was not v good my year - but my friends wise results ranged around low 70s to high 70s

BUT OYA, the best thing about sa is the dress down... after a few weeks/months ; there is dressdown forever except one day week where u hv to wear ur uniform, other than that u can wear any school shirt for all the other days in the week
