A level exams gone WRONG!!

[sophialao03]

What options do I have if my A level exam results are bad?" Just trying to plan ahead. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

1. Retake A levels next year.
2. Go to poly.
3. Go to SIM and do a diploma course.

Easier to get into private uni, or you can opt for a degree course with a more relaxed selection criteria

1.Retake your A-levels as private candidate

2.Apply for a polytechnic course

3.Work full time and apply for a course in UniSIM

4.Apply for degrees offered by private schools

You should read these before you consider a private university.

If it's really that bad,

1. Try to get testimonials (and hopefully you're a school leader / national sports player) and apply the local uni courses with lower pre-requisites (and not business / accounting kind of courses)

2. There are poly courses that offer healthcare courses for A level grads.. (last year its requirements were quite low, they accepted Cs and Ds) These courses grant you a degree at the end of its study (note: but u have to be interested in healthcare to last long in this industry)

3. Go to private university (like me, lol) went to SIM-UOL for accounting and finance

4. retake As next year (not advisable, because usually students score equally bad and in my honest opinion I dont think it's actually worth the effort, because I'm interested in Finance - which doesnt require chem and physics in JC

Depends on what you are interested in, e.g. Finance / Business , because different private uni has different degree, and some are better, while some are not so good

Listen to the rest of the people who have posted here or google my ex-school Ngee Ann- Adelaide, study here go for exchange programme, pay local fees, keep quiet and laugh at all your friends paying double what you will pay at the end of it all

Jokes aside, please do your own research. Thorough research. 99% of the people on earth havent heard of A-levels, much less had a chance to do badly in them and guess what? They are still alive and kicking
