Jc1 retainees!

hey well said theliverevolution. I retained last year but managed to do quite ok for promos this time round.So fret not man ! at least retention allows you to get a better grip on your foundations IMO.
 
haha. at least you got to retain. i was refused being retained by both my school and my parents.

i would rather retain T.T
at least got more time to brush up foundations. 1 year crash course was SO not fun!!
 
haha it must have sucked. At first i hated the thought of retaining but slowly it got better la.
Yea but you managed to get into Uni right ?
 
ya, barely. to the place I want somemore. haha.

i only got my interview late may, so 1 week later they said i was accepted. i nearly turned up late for the interview, and was sweating and panicking all through out

which was a far cry for the other interview at NTU =.=||
was early, all prepared, calm, methodical, and i got rejected!! haha!!
 
you know what's REALLY sad? watching people look relieved when they conditionally promote, and then struggle terribly the next year because their foundation is weak, and mess up their A levels.

Not really, if you barely promote like me, and you set your mind to it, you would sit your ass down and worry, and MUG. I'm finding As really doable with the exception of chemistry. Their giving weirdo questions I've never seen in the TYS.
 
Lol liverevolution, my batch is same as any batch of pj ah. I seriously laughed out loud when other school people were shocked their school retained (only) 50 ppl or 15 ppl and the likes. They don't know how bad the retaining rates at pj is like. Trust me when i say it is ALOT.

I was supposed to retain, god knows how i got pushed up but yeah, i'm suffering right now. Regretted not pushing myself back down but oh wells, hope i get something right.

But as an anti-thesis, i have got to say that the teachers at pj know that they're doing this for OUR own good (shown through how pj can grind out results that're better than most jcs in our league)

Dammit, shoulda retained. -dies.

haha. so i'm the first batch to kena this (previous batches had to retake promos) and it carries on...

goodness. I know the retain rates were bad but I attributed this to a new curriculum (guinea-pig year again~!) and the teachers had a hard time teaching. I thought by now they would be a bit more seasoned. Oh wells, it's the A lvls that mattered. I did okay, shocking most of my teachers. Dang. I should have done better T.T

anyway, how many ppl did they retain last year or this year? my year was 80 retain, about 20 or 30 "promote", the rest are OUT!!
 
We started with around a thousand for my batch. By j2, we're down to 700-800. Win. And can't say they're more seasoned now la, Cambridge is still throwing knockout punches we didn't even know about. I'm testament to that.

It's the "you're out!" group that's alot. Haha!
 
Hopefully A's won't kill me too much... What were your grades for prelims? I was always under the impression that getting at least a B was easy enough. Lol, how wrong i was.
 
Lol i could never break the 50 mark barrier for anything... Hopefully it changes for the better now la. Ah well Geog tmr morning, i go mug nao...
