What's next after GCE "N" Levels?

It's been some time that the GCE "N" Level results have been released.

Let's look at the following pathways which you can take after N Levels.

First of all, you need to know where you want to go: whether to pursue a course at an ITE (Higher NITEC/NITEC), a course at a poly under the Polytechnic Foundation Programme, or to take the GCE "O" level examinations.

Take some time to reflect and decide on your future.

At the end of the day, what you decide now will affect where you will be and what you will do in the long run.

Secondly, do not choose a course just because your friends choose that particular course. It might be their interest, but this does not mean that it is your interest. Follow your heart and select the right course which you will not regret after embarking on your next phase of education.

If you were to take the GCE "O" level examinations, i.e . promote to sec 5, be prepared to work extremely hard because it would be a big jump from "N" levels to "O" levels. The questions will be more challenging that what you have gone through for "N" levels. Having a good foundation is thus an important start if you aim to sit for the "O" level examinations at the end of 5 years.

Last but not least, I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
