Over 6 years coaching JC students, we’ve helped 100+ score 70 RP and above — and 60+ into NUS/NTU Medicine.

Here are 25 things we wish someone had told us on Day 1.

STOP DROWNING IN CCAS
everyone talks about “balance” like you need to give equal time to everything every single day. that’s impossible and it’s why everyone burns out. don’t burn out with these tips! 🐦‍🔥

“Cher, A Levels are 6 months away and I’m so stressed 😩 What should I do?”

A JC2 student asked me this last week — and my answer surprised her.

How to Actually Survive in JC 🙇‍♂️

After teaching hundreds of JC students over the years, one question keeps coming up:

“How do I keep up when everything moves so fast?”

This carousel breaks down the advice I find myself giving again and again in the classroom.

If you’re just getting started, this is the advice I wish every JC student heard earlier.

Sharing the personal statement that got me into Oxford.

I’m sharing it because when I was applying, I spent hours trying to find real examples from Singapore students and barely found any. Hopefully this saves someone that scroll.

I wasn’t a natural writer. I struggled academically early in JC and had to figure most things out the slow way. This statement was no exception.
If yours feels nowhere close right now, that’s fine. Mine wasn’t either.

If you want actual help with your application, we run university admissions support at Macro Academy. Have a look and see if it’s for you.

we hear you! if you’re hoping to study in the uk check this out! 👍

comment “PS” if you want a sneak peek at the personal statement that got me into Oxford too :”)
