sorry keef,not you :)

Singapore peeps are heaps smart.

A TER of 98 is recognised in the official British Council handbook given to WA students as being the equivalent of 4As.but comin from perth, I know bloody damn well 4As is harder than getting 98 for your TER.

Supposedly after 98, it builds on S papers. I got 99.25, which is meant to be 2 S papers, but there’s no chance in hell I would manage that, even if I spent 24 hrs a day studying.

I topped the freakin state for History, yet I know that id only be an average student at best in somewhere like HCJC.

And the Singapore peeps in UCL law would most likely be 4As-and-above people. I still remember. Lewis and i. At the English unis open house. An RJC girl enquired as to why she hasn’t been offered a place in my faculty (yet).

RJ girl: I applied sometime ago, and have not got an offer.

Rodney Austin (the law guy): what did u get for A levels?

RJ girl (rather sheepishly): 4As?

Rodney Austin: O levels?

RJ girl (rather sheepishly again): 10As

Rodney Austin: how many A1s?

RJ girl (more sheepishly than ever): er..9. 1 was an A2.

!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!

Dear ol Rodney then (just to play hard to get n shit) went on to ask her if she had done any legal internship etc and concluded by sayin he cldnt guarantee her a place due to the high level of nearly all applicants yadda yadda.

A few points:
1. she would most definitely be accepted and Rodney was juz talking cock
2. I don’t understand wad was there to be sheepish about. If I had those results id proudly proclaim them to anyone who asked.
3. to reiterate, Singapore students are too damn smart.

I hope there’s some rich ass hongkongner who just somehow bought his way into the uni. Perhaps then I wouldn’t be at the bottom of the class. Save me from ignominy.

No one remembers second worst.
