      I am now currently serving ns. My education qualification is onli O lvl. I failed only maths. Is it better for me to enter private institutions such as mdis, informatics etc etc or go bmc to retake maths as a private candidate?

      If you are not going for the generic path - go JC/Poly then to Uni - and don't want to waste too many years by backtracking, move on directly to institutions.

      Nowadays, they have foundation programs that assist you in meeting basic course requirements. All you need to do to ask their academic advisors then consider your options. sunglasses.png

      Hey i used to be in BMC for 2 years.. A few questions u need to ask urself

       

      You really want to study?

      Can cope without any 1 pushing you?

      Can you still hold your cool with 80 percent of ur classmates fooling around instead of studying?

      BMC, unless you very determined, is as good as nothing. The teachers dont push you, and your classmates tempts you to do stupid things play around even more.

       

      If you retaking, i strongly suggest getting a private tutor on your weaker subjects, NOT MATHS ONLY, and chiong.
