      During my time Ngee Ann poly was the only poly that offered Accountancy. Some of us did well enough to get into NTU and many got into universities in Australia/SIM. I believe you could get exempted from first yr in the australian unis with a diploma. NTU did not give us any exemptions. Some of my friends went on to complete ACCA while working.


      So there are a few routes to consider if your son goes to Poly. If your son does not get good results for his A levels I personally feel it is tough to get into NTU Accountancy. Of cos he could also consider ACCA or foreign unis but the diploma would have given him a better foundation in accountancy than A levels.

          What a surprise, his results turned out so different from expectations.


          Subjects - (Prelim) O level
          =================
          EL1 - (C5) A2
          E Maths - (A1) A1
          A Maths - (A1) A2
          Principle of Accounting - (A2) B4
          Combined Science - (A2) A1
          Humanities - (B4) B3
          Literature - (C5) B3

          L1R5 - 12, after CCA, 10
          L1R4 - 9, after CCA 7.

          Now he wants to go JC :slapshead: and eyeing MJC although the COP is 9. Anyone thinks he shouldnt waste his time trying and perhaps appealing?

              Quick question,

              If A has 14 points and 4 bonus points; and B has 12 and 2 bonus points, vying for a place, who stands a better chance? B?

                Should be the same. Unless you are saying one is raw 12 and one is after deduction 12.


                FYI, Poly can only deduct 2 bonus points.
