In preparation for the common tests, i initially thought of going to the library and dig up the archived common tests of past years. Turns out, they don't archive common tests.
And also turning out, using secondary school style mugging ain't gonna help either. Doing past year papers was what i did to prepare for 'O' levels. Poly tests however, are radically different. As module leaders change, each test focus can be totally different, so questions for one year may be totally inapplicable for the next.
So how did i prepare(if i did to begin with)?
Comprehension. Reading through my notes and tutorial questions and making sure i understand the concept thoroughly. It has worked for microeconomics, and i'm itching to see if biz stats would be the same.
So on a different note, i read in newspapers today that NUS accepts 6000+ students, NTU- 5900+, SMU- 1000+.
Those figures are giving me the chills. I hoped that those were the figures for one school e.g. school of business, but no. That's the intake for one year.
It means i must be the cream of the crop for my poly course. As it is, JC students are finding it hard to enter uni already. Apparently, one student who applied to NUS pharmacy i think with 3-4As but a b4 in GP(heh. GP. That's one subject i'd have enjoyed doing) but was rejected.
I have 120+ rivals for that spot in uni. Many are like me, entering poly to get an edge by honing our alternate skills like presentation and project work.
I really can't slack off then. Beat off the competition and let them eat my dust. Muahahaha.
Thanks to all the blogs i referred to (countless) for html code help :) (esp. cyn' and sixseven)
