Hi, not sure if this has been asked so...
I'm from the normal technical stream who didn't have science for N-Level but I desperately want to get into the course Bio-Medical....is there any other way to get into that course or should I opt for private O's so that afterwards maybe I could get into poly straight away and not waste time?
I know the gaps are huge but I'm willing to work hard, also let's say if I were to take private O, is there any good private school that you can recommend??
Please help and thank you.....
If you can afford it, get private 1-to-1 tuition *in addition* to (not in replacement of) enrolling in a private school (that has laboratory lab facilities for your science practical). Because you never studied N level science before (let alone O level science), you're gonna need all the help you can afford.
Unlike A levels (which require subject specialization due to much higher difficulty level), it's possible to find O level private tutors who can teach you 2 or even 3 sciences, all at the same time, saving you money. One such private tutor is Mr Jeremy Ow (who covers double math + triple science).
Since you said that you are willing to work hard, i guess the best is for you to re-take O levels again and then get into the course that you want.
Yes, you can try taking private O levels to save time.
The private institutes usually conduct crash course in science so I suppose you will need tuition.
However, jobs in biomedical field are not so easy to find. You may work as a lab tech in a life science lab. Medicine is one of the toughest discipline one can ever find on planet earth. I wonder if you are intending to be a nurse or an allied health professsional.
The biology field usually needs a PhD (at least 9 years in university) to do research. A basic degree or poly diploma in biomedical science offers job opportunities that come with glass ceilings.
You really need to work very hard to get an O levels and a biomedical diploma.
There is MDIS which offers a foundation cert in life science and a diploma in biomedical science.
I would suggest looking at other options, if possible.
i think he is referring to biomed in polys.
check the requirements
Anyone know what books to focus on for this year o levels English literature???!!! I really need tips for English literature!!! I'm a private candidate so I have no clue what to study/focus on for English literature o level!!please comment all the info you know about English literature o level 2016!!! Best if u are a moe student for o level
.
Private Os will be a really good option for you since you know what you want.
I used to go to Math Vision Enrichment Centre and they have a really great tuition system, which I can elaborate more if you contact me.

Well, good luck to you.
O level science consists of two disciplines, and you need to take at least five O level subjects to enter a Polytechnic course.
It may be better for you to take N level science, pursue a Bio-Medical certificate at ITE, and use your GPA at ITE to enter a Bio-Medical course at Polytechnic.
Since you have taken some N level subjects before, you only need to take N level science. It is much easier to take N level science than to take O level science and around four other O level subjects.
By the way, why must it be Bio-Medical? Bio-Medical is not the only industry in the world. Besides, the pay of nursing jobs is petite.
