Don't think about it in terms of absolute score. Instead, visualize it as having to be within the top 10% within your faculty.

The absolute score to get A will be different for each module, depending on the performance of your peers. As long as you're among the best, you'll get the A/A+.

So in universities, the grades are awarded based on the performance of the cohort and are dependant on the " bell curve" ?

Need to be ultra hardworking

Dear Mr. Sinkie, hope this post finds you well and happy.

Yes. Working hard for ourselves, families, community and country is a given. Besides, you must have heard that "eating bitterness" is one favourite Chinese pastime. Ha Ha :):):).

Indeed, the opportunity to be able to work hard is a privilege.

Thank you.

Pertaining to university examination; may seniors here advise how university examinations are carried out.

At university are student allowed to use their laptops to present script / answers instead of pen and paper? (This is particularly critical for those whose penmanship has deteriorated since secondary school and have progressively relied on the keyboard )

Are 'objective type questions' used to test our knowledge? Or a mixture of objective and subjective (essay) type being the norm?

Thank you.

Exam still pen and paper.

Exam format depends on the module you're taking :s22: and the things module want to achieve.

Activities are stirring for 2017/2018 Intakes.

NTU is inviting potential undergrads for their "Coffee Chat 2017 with NTU". 18 Nov 2017 at Marina Bay Sands.

Will NUS also offer free coffee ?

Yup. This invitation is from their Office of Admission.

Also just received another from NTU; this one from NTU SCSE and scheduled sometime in December; this one is called 'Information Session' and since it's in the morning lunch is included. Most grateful for their kindness.

chances of applying smu

What are the chances of transferring to smu from an overseas university. I am from a top 20 university based on QS ranking and I applied smu (info sys ) when their application starts. However, they have not contact me yet :(

As you are still an undergrad (I assume), then they should look at your base qualification (i.e. your JC, poly, IB, et). Fair not to be floored by the dazzle of your university QS ranking. More importantly, what degree programme are you pursuing now?

You are totally up there with the best of us for a positive reply from SMU.

Just checked. Nobody from my network has anything to add re-SMU. Perhaps its just the timing. Stay cool man. I'm from the CJ family too (only 600 m separated us physically).

Advice needed from more worldly bros / sis here.

Just been offered an opportunity to participate in an Early Admission exercise from Uni A even though the window for admission application is in Feb 2018. However, the love of my life is in Uni B.

Do I apply, get an offer and hold till Feb 2018 for all Big 3 application windows?
Will there be a disadvantage to do so? (seem a little unfair to Uni A)
Will all Big 3 Unis, send out invites for early admission?

Thank you.

I think you can wait for Uni B’s early admission exercise offer.

It is a matter of time when Uni B will send you the offer.

Since you got top 10% in your cohort, I am sure they will send it to you!
