Drop out of the course and sign up with UOL on your own and self study + take exams.

Save your parents about $15,000 SGD.

Not yet, just called them to find out, they're checking for me...
Anyway when you login to the portal, did you click accept/decline as stated from the instruction in the form?

Yup. I clicked accept. Got to download n read the contract before u can accept.

I called sim... They say 1 week after u accept the contract, they will send you an email with your student portal username password.
That's where u login to pay the school fee.
no hardcopy package.

Hi kittypie. I'm currently a year 1 going to year 2 student. As for tips, I would like to say consistent study. The school culture is pretty much laidback so there wasn't any stress at first. But thanks to prelims and finals, I realised that I should have done consistent studies instead of cramming last minute.

On a side note, INTRO TO ECONS module is friggin tough. There were alot of failures for this module for many years. I think passing rate is currently ~60%. But they changed the exam format this year. I'm this year's guinea pig batch! Just sat for my econs paper today and it was pretty manageable. I think the uk guy decided to be lenient because of the change in exam format(from short qns to 30 MCQs).

Other modules that you'll be taking will be Stats1, Maths1, POA and Principles of Banking&Finance. Stats lecturers in uol isn't really that good. So alot of self study must be done on your own. As for Maths1, its relatively easy compared to all the other modules. For POA, it might be easy for those with existing background in this subject. As for Principles of b&f, it's smth new but still manageable.

AND ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS don't forget about your subject guide. Alot of ppl neglect it and study for exams using their lecture notes but that WILL NOT give you an A/B if that's the grade you're aiming for. It might be wordy and naggy, but it's really the best guide everrrrrrr! And dont forget to do past year papers which are available on simconnect! Answers are provided under commentaries :)

Also, rmb to go for FOD to gain some friends! If not you'll be an emo kid in lectures HAHAHA btw if u ever go to the canteen at the popular lvl, u MUST HAVE their bak chor mee and tomyum banmee!

Enjoy your short holiday for now!
