yup, today is the start of the registration for the PAE. and if you do not know what PAE stands for, it is called Provisional Pre-U One Admission Exercise.
it is an exercise where graduating students from schools get to choose to enter into a JC or MI for the first three months, based on their Preliminary results. the purpose is to let these students to have a feel of JC/MI curriculums as they await for their "O" level results. and then, i'll not go any further..................... to know more, visit this website http://www.moe.gov.sg/corporate/preu.htm and click 'A' Level Subjects at H1, H2, and H3 Levels for 2006 Curriculum.
sigh... after looking at the cut off points of all the JCs, it seems impossible for me to get into the JC i want for the first three months. CJC which everyone thought was easy to get in at first, has now obtain a cut off points of 14 for arts and 13 for science.
i had a hard time choosing the JC we hope to get in with my friend. the only few that we could get in with our points are JCs that are out of civilization. they are so FAR away!
all i can hope for now is that i get myself into SRJC during the first three months and pray that i can enter a college that is to my preference when i get my "O" results.
nevertheless, life still goes on. so be happy with what you have (you know who i'm referring to).
