I Miss MATHS!!!!
Sniff....
One thing good about studying here is that the A-Level course is a two-year course. Time consuming - yes, i agree. But since the intake for PMC is only in September, i dont mind the course being two years. If its only for a year, i'll graduate from A-Level in December 2010 and i'll have 9 months to ROT before my university intake -.-
Another good thing is that we only have to take 3 subjects for exam. Most colleges like Taylors, KDU, Disted etc make their A-Level students take 4 subjects. So, think about it: More time (2 years) but less to study (3 subjects)... Isn't it a good thing? ;)
Haha, maybe yes, huh? ;)
Yes, it is a good thing... But three subjects... "Hmm, i'm definitely taking Chem and Math - they're my favourite!! And maybe Bio, since i'll be needing it a lot during uni..."
Good thinking? Yes!
Correct thinking? No!
-.-
For PMC students, we're forced to take:
Chem - cos it's compulsory for medicine course of most universities.
Bio - cos it's encouraged la, i guess...we're gonna be needing lotsa Bio as doctors! :-/
Phy - The intake for PMC is very strict. So in case we cant pass the interview, Phy will be a safer 'alternative' than maths cos apparently, more universities require Phy than Math when it comes to medicine -.-
So, can i take Math??
Yes, I can. I can join the math classes when i have free time. But i am not allowed to skip my Physics classes. I can register to take Math as an extra subject during the final A-Level exam but i have to pay some extra fees for it.
So, should i take Math??
I tried to find out if taking an extra subject will help me during my application to medical course...and the answer is 'no'. -.- The Head of Programme said if i wanted to take Math, it wouldn't give me any priviledges when i enrolled myself into a uni, but if i had the passion for Math, i could do so. Well, i LOVE math. But since it won't help me, i prefer to focus more on Physics and Biology than satisfying my passion for Math. And i didnt know that my last Math class was the one on 3rd June 2009.
Sniff....
