Chemistry is ARH!
Organic soooooooo many reactions...
Wanna come for my tuition?
But if your parents say TPJC is too far for you, I guess so is my place (exactly between VJC and TJC).
Guess your parents want you to go SRJC then. At least you can sleep a little longer. That helps performance, definitely.

hi you can hit your dad in the head and puncture 2 holes in his lungs and while the SCDF personnel try to revive him with CPR, watch the blood fountain! i'm sure you can go to TPJC after that.
remember to drink the blood

hmm i'd take yjc instead, coz of the H3 and flexible 4H2 choices
But on the website, there's this interview requirement. Will it be difficult? As far as i know, no other JCs require you to be interviewed if you want to take 4H2s or a H3

If what YJC management claims is true (that they're actually a high standard JC with cut off points deliberately set very kindly), then the interview is ostensibly only to ensure weaker students (eg. L1R5 19 or 20 pts) do not try to bite off more than they can handle, eg. 4 H2 subjects. The interview will, to some extent, help to ascertain the student's confidence and competence level. -

There's still a few hours before the 4pm deadline for JAE. So I won't lock this thread just yet, in case HollowGrowl still has questions to discuss.
But if anyone feels offended or haressed (eg. to do criminal acts) by any particular posts, do feel free to inform us (the Moderators). But as much as possible, the best path to non-violence is to ignore.
But in the case of Israel vs Hamas, that's a little more complicated, and a little too late...

TPJC own time own target one le.. I never go Physics lecture, always treat it like break time lols.. Go physics tutorial also daydream lols.. When A levels come oredi wah gancheong spider lols but ok lah still can make it.. lols.. But shiok lols no pressure no stress, you want results you study for it, relaxing life in TPJC..
-
Thanks for the replies guys.. I really appreciate it.
I've chose YJC, since i belive that pressure will help me excel. Besides, by going YJC, i would save 45min compared to if i go TPJC.
all i need to hope now is that the environment won't affect =S
I would probably be able to handle, since my pri/sec sch all neighbourhood de
Btw, econs H2 is more worth than taking H1? I heard in H1 you study 70% but the weightage would be less, with same difficulty. So i guess i'll take 4H2s
And, usually, are classes grouped by subject combinations? If so, then 4H2 + a possible H3 i would land up in the better class i guess?

Take H2 Econs. The extra things you learn are definitely much more interesting.
I seriously like econs although I didn't do very well in J1. Persisted till J2 when I finally scored a B for prelims and an A for A levels :D
-
see the recent stomp the tpjc couple?
so go tpjc and you'll have girl to kiss/pat on bus.. ><

sounds like my sciences just before prelims =x
guess i'll have to try not to be influenced by the environment.

"pet" u mean. lols, its rampant everywhere. Only difference is whether anyone bothers to stomp it.

Just a repeat of my previous post's question:

If you ask me, I would prefer a better but further JC. I don't mind the travelling time. The trip from my house to my JC took around 1 hour by train and bus.
But at the end of the day, I felt it was worth it because of the company. There was a reasonable amound of students in the JC who are hardworking and willing to study instead of fooling around. With them, I can concentrate on my studies. The facilities are better. The staffs are better.
And the long hours on the transport shouldn't matter because you can study on the train/bus as well. Results or convinience, your call.
And...try to appeal to NYJC if possible. I went in with a L1R5 of 12 points without any problem back in 2006. And glad to say, I graduated with a reasonably good results...partly because of the school with it's prestige.

i was from TPJC. 2004-2005.
and there were students who come from Woodlands/Bt Panjang for its malay language elective programme.
so, wherever you're from.......... you're near lah.
and physics tutorials were spent at the carpark. we all learn half- clutch with my friend's car. he just passed.

haiz, SAME THING. I hav a choice to appeal to SRJC tmr.. I REALI REALI REALI DUNO... tampjc (1hr -2bus) SRJC (1bus 25mins)...

So you're in TPJC but want to appeal for SRJC?Distance wise, not much diff to you. (in fact, TPJC is slightly better).
Comparing quality of JCs, should be not much diff.
But I've had students from both JCs, and (although things may have changed over the years), from what they tell me, the TPJC culture is healthier and more condusive for studying, than SRJC. Both in terms of student habit patterns, as well as teachers (who give more counterproductive stress in SRJC).
-
UltimaOnline, i'm in sr now. What do you mean by "as well as teachers (who give more counterproductive stress in SRJC)"? While i believe the environment is important, in the end if you're mentally strong and focused in achieving your goals, no one can stop you. Let alone those losers with small minds.

Of course it's not the environment, it's yourself. A private candidate CAN certainly score more distinctions than a RJC student. It's all about yourself, obviously.My point was, from what my SRJC students say, it appears that in the eargerness/desperation/pressure-from-principal/etc, to improve the grades of the students, they give excessive homework, excessively tough exam papers, excessive extra classes after school everyday, etc. This is stressful for the average student (of course, if you regard yourself as an above average student, you have no worries), and as such may be counterproductive for them.
As for the student culture, it was an ex-SRJC student himself, who on the SgClub School Life forum just several weeks ago, said that the student culture there is intellectually slack. Meaning most SRJC students would rather play than study. This, he said, does not provide as condusive a study environment, as the better JCs. He was explaining in a thread in which someone asked why SRJC % of students going to local Universities were only about 40% (varies from year to year, of course).
HOWEVER, and this would be good news for you (all SRJC students reading this), this particular ex-SRJC student, emphasized that it's all up to you, student culture and pressure from teachers aside, that the final 'A' level grades are entirely in your own hands, regardless of which JC you're in. He is living proof of this - our SRJC student hero scored all distinctions (4As) and went on to study in the University of his choice.

shuld b 15mins (SRJC frm my hse) and 1hr to tampjc... MAN, heard srjc is more spoonfed (isnt it good? cn learn more) then tpjc is independent learning (learn frm?? reading the notes??if the notes nt good??)

15min vs 1hr... I think the choice is clear. Imagine reaching school late during the exam period. Habis.Otherwise, if transport is really no issue for you (eg. you have your own chauffer and you love to wake up ridiculously early everyday), then by most accounts, TPJC is a preferred choice.

TPJC. i stay TPY also go NUSH in clementi to study leh. i dun see the problem.
-
well, i kind of chosed tpjc as i nv appeal to srjc todae.. I tink i hav to make full use of it then, like study and sleep on the bus... im still worried about the distance of course, like exam time.. of course there are more things to worry like cca time, subject combi, jc1 promo, AND of course! ALVL!! MY MY, IM SOOO stressed out evn when school havnt start... going mad soon...
