All poly dip holders will need do a english test before they start uni and if you fail that test, you will have to take an extra english module in your first year.

All poly dip holders have to take it regardless of O's eng results
sorry for hijacking this thread... but how do you set up a new forum? it's beyond me!
Halo.... I also from Ngee Ann and the went to NUS..
Firstly, do as well in ya poly as possible, if can try going for diploma with merit.
English at O level fail or pass does not matter. As long as D7 you would be safe (dont tell me you F9, if you F9 then you have to retake O level Eng). I have friends failing O level english also able to go into NUS.
Ya, it is true that before you enter NUS year 1, you need to take some sort of english test. If you perform well, you dont need to take any english modules. If not you have to take either 1 or 2 english modules.
Hope that helps.
Thnx a lot guys n girls :D it allow mi to rest at ease n also sav $140 :P

yeap
English does not matter if you've done well in poly. Anyway being merit holder does not really matter in securing a place these days for e direct entry courses
