Thinking back

What about me?
I've some sort of meticulous OCD/autistic complex, making me a slowcoach at many times (Probably what gave me that persistence I need in order to survive in NUS).
  1.  Fuchun Secondary School, 'O' Levels, L1R4: 9, L1R5: 13
  2. Singapore Polytechnic, Diploma in Multimedia Technology
  3. Blank of two years
  4. Began Semester 1 of my life in NUS School of Computing on August 2008 (And stupidly selected to major in Communications and Media)
    • Took QET (Qualifying English Test), scored Band 5 (1 is worst ever, 6 is best ever), hence avoided taking the zero-credit ET1000
    • Did not take MA1301 Exemption test, its not worth exempting!
    • Took Advanced Placement Tests for CS1102 - Data Structures and Algorithm, somehow scraped through with 5 additional MCs exempted before NUS life began.
  5. What next...
Credits
  • Myself for being obsessed with blogging in standard English and not the typical slang and internet speak
  • Myself for being reasonably good at Maths.
  • Myself for working hard (Although it still ends up pretty naught anyway)
Advice for any NUS Computing freshmen who bothers to listen
  • Build up your reading and writing skills
  • Don't bother getting exempted from MA1301. You don't get any modular credits if exempted. If you are good at Maths then MA1301 is relatively easy and gives you a good 4 modular credits, if you are not good at Maths then... Nothing changes, since I doubt you may survive the exemption test anyway...
  • NUS standard is way higher than of Singapore Polytechnic
Whatever.
