I have no idea

[user1294]

im currently a pfp student abour to study in a design course and these pass few months in poly were no joke. Staying up till 4am almost everyday doing projects made me really humbled, but i still enjoyed my little design life.

But as some you guys might know that in order to move on to yr 1, you would have to pass all your subjects. I thought it would be a breeze since i was able to cope with my studies in secondary school. But boy was i kinda wrong, math has been not very mindful, not very demure. Dont get me wrong, i was able to understand and apply the necessary concepts but i somehow failed my last exam really badly, and that got me into a whole spiral on how if i fail my next paper, i would not make it to sem 2. What’s more, the upcoming paper was 60% of my overall grade. Coming from a person who’s an overachiever, this news was rather um panicky. However, ive recently sat for my paper and well… that math paper was something. So im just hoping to just pass it and go on to sem 2.

However, the thing is i really have no confidence that i would score high enough to get into sem 2 and that’s what been on my mine. I really do not want to get kicked out of my dream school which ive worked sooo hard to get in just because i failed a test that’s not even related to the course i would be studying. I really do not want to go back to ITE no matter how much i miss my friends there, i really dont want to go back there.

To add on, the course that im going to be studying isn’t really my interest. Well i wouldn’t say not interest, just not good at it. So ive been thinking about thag too, since im not really that creative or innovative when it comes to designing, so i really had no idea what i was thinking putting this course as my top 3. And it haunts me knowing that i would probably be miserable for the next 3yrs if i were to carry on with this course. So thag i have no idea what to do, should i change to a coirse thay im interested in or continue to stay?

I pray that it’s not so serious and that ny teacher could close one eye on this situation but im starting to think thay he may have realised it cos ive been unable to log into my student portal and when i try to change my password, it says that my username was not found… Chat, im scared.

I would suggest that you try your best to do well for the upcoming paper by accessing past year papers from the school’s library portal. I’m not sure if you can access Year 0 papers but you can still access Y1 papers of the recent years just to give you an idea wrt the difficulty level of the upcoming exam. At least, you can do something to prepare for the upcoming exam, you see…

I was in a similar kind of situation in that I joined the course in poly just because I had nowhere else to go. The worst part was that I had to sit for 1 extra year due to health issues. But I guess I reaped the best I could out of my journey when I gave my best in whatever I did in poly. Most unexpectedly, I scored well for year 3 even after underperforming in Year 2!
Since you really don wanna go back to ITE, I suggest that you push yourself to study well. I don’t think you’ll find it difficult since you said you have been a high achiever.

You can do it!
