Academic results and practical intelligence are two very different things. Please don't think of your O level results as a reflection of your self worth or your ability to do well in the real world.
RJC,HCJC,NJC,TJC! there are plenty of choices for you to compete with the Higher intellect ones. Since your are so POW"D"ERFUL in your studies then why even bother to go poly? you are too "Smart" for the poly larh. so stop wasting our time.Originally posted by BeInformed:I'm curious to know your opinions about this. I got 6 points (L1R2B2) and there's this particular course in Polytechnic that I intend to join. Unfortunately the COP for that course is 18 points, and I'm afraid of being affected by people of well, lower intellect.
Gahhhhhhhhhhh
ever heard how Lotus Flower is grown?Originally posted by BeInformed:Because well, I've got all kinds of stories from my seniors who talk about their classmates who do nothing but skip all their lectures and ignore their projects, because majority of them didn't come in by choice.
Go Woodbridge Polytechnic first, get that stupid mentality of yours treated first.Originally posted by BeInformed:I'm curious to know your opinions about this.

Being book-smart and being street-smart are independent attributes. Just because one isn't book-smart doesn't mean that one is street-smart, and vice-versa.Originally posted by New Creation:get a reality check boy. These "lower intellect" classmates may nt be exam ass-smart (i.e. mugging and memorizing text as well as you do), but they thrive in being street smart, has exceptionally high level of EQ, and are probably good at hands-on.

Im not sure on this.. I have a few frenz who graduate from poly, with Merit.Originally posted by Jem777:Unfortunately for you, poly is not all about spoon feeding and regurgitating memorised work. Alt QQ, good game.
Each to his/her own studying technic.Originally posted by Evangelion84:Im not sure on this.. I have a few frenz who graduate from poly, with Merit.
They told mi poly is all abt regurgitating and everything practice and practice the same thing till u know how to do.
And some more, exam is the same qns as the tutorial. As long as u got do ur tut, sure get A... except that most of them dun study one.... or so they said
Perhaps any one here can clarify?
So just because of that single statement you think all poly students in a high COP course are stupid, lazy and slack?Originally posted by BeInformed:Because well, I've got all kinds of stories from my seniors who talk about their classmates who do nothing but skip all their lectures and ignore their projects, because majority of them didn't come in by choice.
80% of exam questions almost similar to past years papers n tutorials.Originally posted by Evangelion84:Im not sure on this.. I have a few frenz who graduate from poly, with Merit.

Was about to say that.Originally posted by Resentment:just go ITE
getting A not easy for meOriginally posted by 798:80% of exam questions almost similar to past years papers n tutorials.
but examination from poly only 30-40%. meaning the daily coursework such as common tests n attendance have to be consistent. meaning if u prepare urself well everyday, getting an A is really chicken-feet.
As RETARD_MORON correctly pointed out, book-smart and street-smart are independent.Originally posted by kopiosatu:i'd like to see how smart he is when it comes to working![]()
agreed...Originally posted by fudgester:..........
I really don't know what to say without being harsh on you.
If you really are afraid of being 'affected' by 'people of lower intellect' based on their O Level results, then I say you really need remedial lessons - in EQ.
