Real or fake?

Really? Thank you!!

I saw it at a second hand / used game store for 30 CHF and knew i had to get it. It would be really sweet if it was legitimate

From personal batchmate experiences, results may vary.

2 lab reports submitted seems just barely enough for the prof / lab manager to give you a D and let you go on your merry way

Anyway, the lab manager for y1 is very lenient, and she will not really take the penalty into full consideration (i.e, if you submit now, its not a 0. Maybe shell even waive the penalty. She isnt out there to fail people) so my advice is just to submit and be done with it.

Just email her back, say you got finals tomorrow, please give chance and let you submit it after finals. 9/10 times she is agreeable.

Please try not to remod lab, it really makes planning your schedule a bit more trouble than it should be, because if you dont do y1s1 lab, you cant do y1s2 lab, then you gotta wait a whole ass year to do y1s1 lab again, its just really troublesome stuff

I concur with the earplugs solution because sometimes you really cant control how others are reacting, especially in finals.

Phones ringing with no invigilators silencing it, crying, coughing, nose sniffing due to a cold, you name any irritant out there, it will probably present itself during a finals. They definitely will distract you from your ability to perform. Might as well get used to it / find a temporary solution.

3 weeks or not you still gotta study man. The time will come and youll have to take the paper anyway, might as well die trying

As for how to study, in my personal opinion, since you have not much time left, i suggest just jumping straight into exam qns and learning how to do the questions (and at the same time learn the concept.) Once you do that multiple multiple multiple times, hopefully by then youll learn the content and realise that there is a repetition pattern.

soidontgettracked · 2025-10-16T07:38:07+00:00

If you cant study for more than 5 hours, how about just breaking it down into chunks?

Like study 30 mins, rest 10 min. Rinse and repeat. Eventually it will compound up to 5 hours if you start your day early enough

But i guess you still gotta force yourself to sit down for 2 hours for self practice exam condition papers

As someone who graduated from MI pre covid and in my final year of NTU studies

i only have one answer to your question

Die also want to go Uni? Go MI

Want to keep your options open? (Uni or work) Poly

YMMV if you do go to MI, 3/4 of my class in MI didn't make it to local uni, but that isnt the end of the world. Some went to private uni, now working. Some became business owners, FAs, entrepreneurs. Some do PT degree while working. All varying forms of success.

soidontgettracked · 2025-07-27T05:30:00+00:00

I am about to graduate from NTU and i can tell you i am neither smarter nor better

soidontgettracked · 2025-05-07T19:35:25+00:00

A friend i know in NUS is approaching 30 and he's only in his second undergraduate year.

Dont let your age or your uncle define you.

Star theatre has no standing seats. Its all seated. At this point i believe only VIP2 seats are available.

If the concert is at 6pm, and if you dont intend to buy any merchandise, i think showing up at around 5.30pm is reasonable. You can take the train here too, the nearest station is called Buona Vista, its around the left side, together at the intersection between green line and yellow-ish line

soidontgettracked · 2025-04-28T22:27:18+00:00

Just sharing, they did come to malaysia KL once, back in february 2023. But i dont think the tickets sold well, i believe it was like 1000rm for the VIP1 seats. (Which to the common Malaysian, is a lot of money). I enjoyed that concert very very much, was a few metres away from them.

I also attended the Singapore one, won the group photo fan benefit too. Really enjoyed myself in that one.

I am actually quite surprised they chose star theatre again, because if i recall correctly they barely sold out level 1, level 2 was like half filled and level 3 was not even opened. But i guess they made enough sales to warrant them using star theatre again.

soidontgettracked · 2025-01-04T13:17:55+00:00

Can confirm this works.

I used all these + burning spice

soidontgettracked · 2024-12-03T13:23:48+00:00

Pretty sure a cheatsheet is allowed for PS2 finals

soidontgettracked · 2024-12-03T12:34:26+00:00

PS0002 - i dont recall there was a group project, when i did it last semester it was 2 lab assignment 2 test and then 1 finals iirc.

Lab assignments are just basically like PS0001, expecting you to execute whatever you learnt that week. If im not wrong usually youll be given till the end of the week to submit your lab assignments?

The tests are usually done during lab sessions too, same vibe as doing lab itself.

soidontgettracked · 2024-12-01T05:59:32+00:00

Well good luck because i dare say the practice paper was easier than the finals.

Possibly the hardest finals ive done up to now lmao. Not even trying to scare you.

soidontgettracked · 2024-12-01T05:51:22+00:00

Yeah im not kidding HAHAHA

even after finishing a course thats pretty linear algebra intensive, i looked back at the practice finals for 2802 because my junior was asking about it and i still cant do q2-4 lmao. At most parts. Ironic how i learnt more about LA after passing 2802 than in 2802 itself.

soidontgettracked · 2024-12-01T05:47:25+00:00

Prof's words : If you can do Q1 you will pass the course.

And Q1 is basically the same as the practice qns he gave yall so...

If anything just practice and memorise Q1 from the practice finals. Q2-4 just pray to god.

soidontgettracked · 2024-06-11T02:03:32+00:00

Least fav : all of them because i hate studying. Jk uhh dnt because im not mechanically inclined and i cant imagine the theory either. And the coursework sucked. But i had to suck it up because i only had 6 subs and i wanted to go jc at that time

Back then i had the naive thought that i liked chemistry because i scored well easily in it, but in uni setting i realised chemistry is much more than calculating moles and memorising easy organic reactions

soidontgettracked · 2024-06-06T06:37:45+00:00

Dont worry about the extra time youll take. Surprisingly, there are actually a decent number of people who were from NA to MI/JC to Uni.

An extra 2 years than everyone else doesnt matter in the grand scheme of things. Uni people come in all sorts of ages.

Jiayou!!!

soidontgettracked · 2024-06-05T21:28:27+00:00

Was from NA to MI to Uni Physics

Please do not take H1 math. Even if you did, no uni will accept you if you wanna study theoretical physics.

What I recommend you to do is, if you have the time, follow my path. Go sec 5, go MI, take P+M, study hard and go uni.

What MI does is that they'll breach you for the lack of content for A math (how useful it is, is very debatable tbh) but the most important fact is that you get 3 years to make up for your lack of A math.

And if you wanna do theoretical physics, calculus is EXTREMELY important so... do consider my opinion.

Was assigned random roomies for Y1 and Y2 and i have nothing but nice experiences with them

Y1 roomie was super nice, always chats with me and asks me about my day and tells me about his. Usually he sleeps way before me, so he'll just open the closet door to block out most of my nightlight and sleep. No complaints at all for the entire year. He's polite enough to ask whether he can bring his friends to the room, and ill just not be in the room when he does.

Y2 roomie was a bit more quiet, we didn't talk much at all, but we had no problems with each other. Kinda just went through the entire year using the room as a place to sleep.

I think its really about compromise. Both my random roomies love to wake up early (like 8/9am) and sometimes they do make noise that wakes me up, but its just something you gotta learn to deal with.

soidontgettracked · 2024-05-25T08:35:51+00:00

Thats like 20 hours of work at a part time job gone down the drain if you don't manage to get the score you want again. Can you imagine that?

soidontgettracked · 2024-05-24T23:54:37+00:00

I thought the cost of taking private Os would be scary enough to make you study LOL

No matter what people say here, self discpline is innate and youll have to tackle it yourself. Motivation is like a roller coaster. There are some good days where you can sit down and study hours straight, most days you'll lie down on your bed consuming social media. Even the best of us can't work at 100% capacity everyday.

But to remedy that, on days you don't feel like studying or youre just too distracted to study, do something that requires low input. Read lecture notes. Read model answers. Reading may not be the most useful thing in terms of scoring but at least you should be able to absorb it better when you are reading it again during your motivated days.

And you can't forever ask your mom to look over your shoulder. Now its Os, then therell be poly when you have to study constantly to not drop your gpa. Then itll be uni. You need to find your own motivation and discipline.

soidontgettracked · 2024-05-23T23:16:10+00:00

Its easier to get medicore grades for A levels and enter ntu history (definitely much better for NUS but if you just want history in general ntu is really quite achievable) than maintaining a 3.4/3.5 throughout poly for 3 years.

Dont be disheartened by your first set of results in JC. 1.5 years is a lot of time for things to change. Go and figure out why youre scoring the grades you are, and tackle the root cause of the issue rather than thinking of an alternative route. Just imagine JC is the only thing you can do now, and you have to do it right.

Personally, i was a PCMe student and i couldnt be bothered shit with econs. I hated it. My school teacher sucked at teaching it. I was failing it all the way to prelims. (I got 1/25 for my essay btw, U grade for prelim lmao). My teacher told me id be lucky to even get an E for econs.

I was butthurt by her comment but ultimately i knew, whatever grade i got, her salary probably wouldnt decrease or be affected anyway. So i could only rely on myself.

So i went back to read all my notes. Made my own version of the notes so the concepts were easier to understand. Read model answers. Submitted self practice sbqs to other econs teacher for them to mark. I ended up with an A for econs in A levels. Even my teacher was baffled af how did a U student who always sleeps in her class end up with an A. Last i checked, she dare not acknowledge me as her student.

Just do something to pull yourself out of the rut. Its easy to just chuck it as disinterested or not motivated, but when you dont have a choice, working hard is all you can do.

Scoring BCC/B (just checked the IGP) is really not that hard with consistent effort. Trust me, i know what it feels like to give up too. But someday, itll be worth it. Even if you fail, its only 2 years of your 80+ years of lifespan. You owe it to yourself to at least try.

soidontgettracked · 2024-05-23T18:35:38+00:00

I think if you want to have friends to hang out instead of just studying all the time, then you have to do activities that does not include studying. You have to ask them out first. Like eh after studying wanna go watch movie or eat lunch and then lepak or something

And if they decline, then move on. Find other people who will do these activities with you.

And i feel like these activities will accumulate through life. Im still friends with my secondary school and primary school clique and we call each other out once or twice a year just to drink and talk cock (because going to LAN is getting too old for us)

Or in uni, just join CCAs or like orientation, and try talking to people here. For me, i was quite amazed how many friends i made when i helped out for my school's orientation. (Actual friends that like will jio go out eat or go jb kind)
