O Level/IGCSE Retakes 2016


FAQs on Retaking O levels/IGCSE

1. I did not do well for my O-Levels/IGCSE. Should I retake?

Well, the final decision is yours to make. But if you think that the results are not a true reflection of your potential, then there is no harm in giving yourself a second chance. If you do retake, you might end up getting better grades and qualifying to a college/polytechnic course that you want.

2. But all my friends have qualified to the poly and college. I feel so embarrased to waste another year.

You are at a stage in life where peer pressure is significant. But think about it this way, it is your life and you must make decisions that will give you a brighter future. There is nothing wrong in telling your friends that you are going to give yourself a second chance. In fact, this shows that you have a strong character. Did you know that Albert Einstein failed the entrance exam for the Swiss polytechnic in Zurich when he was 16 years old? But what made him the greatest scientist of our time? He had the guts to give himself a second chance. Don't think of retaking your O-levels/IGCSE as a wasted year, think of it as investing another year for a brighter future. Do NOT waste your entire life trying to save one year!!!

3. I am very confused. Can I talk to someone who retook their O-levels/IGCSE before?

Starclub is a private O level/IGCSE school, established in Johor Bahru, that has been helping students take their O levels/IGCSE and guiding other students to retake their O level/IGCSE for more than 10 years. We know it is a difficult time and this may even be the first major setback in your life. It is natural for you to feel confused but what you need right now is a clear mind to make a strong decision.

4. How do I retake my O levels/IGCSE as a private candidate?

To retake your O levels/IGCSE as a private candidate, it is best that you find a private school that offers full-time GCE O level courses.

5. What are the minimum number of subjects I need to take to be considered a full-time private candidate at Starclub private O level school?
