Importance of A and O Levels?
Dear Sucessful Cadet Applicants,
QUESTION 1:
Anyone have C6 for Maths and Physics at O Levels got all the way until offer letter?
Anyone got in until offer letter just with Good O Levels and A Levels Results and is above age 28?
Anyone got a MASTER Degree but not good O and A Levels results got in until letter of offer?
MY OWN ANSWER:-
AGE: 28
VISION: Prefect
O Levels = A2 English, A1 Commerce, Maths and Physics = C6, B Chinese Language.
A Levels = Canadian Grade 13 , Average 74%, 6 units,
English 88%, Computing 92%, Algrabra 66%,
Chemistry 74%, Physics 65% % Calculus 51%.
Diploma = NCC in Computing* Not recognised cause not Polytechnic Diploma.
Degree = None.
Flying Exprience = 80 hours on Cessna 172N. PPL(A)
Interview : 1st Interview for the second time. I felt I did well as the Interviewer said he will put my application thru to HR but my results may hinder the selection but He will try anyway.
Sucessful till : 1st Interview only.
With the above I got only into 1st Interview, after which I was not able to go to the 2nd interview.
I suspect that my O Levels and A Levels results where not good enough? Am I right to assume so?
QUESTION 2:-
Person A
O Levels = A1 English, C6 Maths and C6 Pure Physics.
A Levels = ABBB (with Maths and Physics with GP)
A NTU Business Degree.
Person B
O Levels = A1 english, A1 for both Maths and Pure Physics.
A Levels = ABBB (with Mths and Physics with GP)
I assume that Person B will have a greater chance in being sucessful based on his O and A Levels as HR filters from bottom to up, 1st based on O Levels followed by A Levels.
Person A would have "lost" when they compare the O Levels results?
Do let me know about ur expriences via this format, that way we can gather some conclusion on how the filtering works.
AGE:
VISION:
O Levels Results:
A Levels Results:
Diploma?
Degree?
Masters?
Flying Exprience?
Interview: Which phase, How many time already? and how u felt u did?
Sucessful till phase ?
See u and hope to gather enough data so we can make some conclusion.
So far my conclusion based on 10 persons data I have collected so far suggest the following:-
Even if u have MASTERS the 1st filter is O LEVEL meaning that Person B will always get the job above Person A cause, at the 1st Filter, Person A his file is already thrown away.
Filter works this way:-
Compare all O Levels results first,
Then stage by Stage Upper qualifications,
Then Flying Exprience.
Example if all have all A's at O Levels then they will compare A Levels, if still All A's then they compare Degree, If still all got degree they factor in Flying Ex or Work Ex.
So At the first filter O Levels, anyone got a B got kick out lioa.
Person C = 1B at O Levels and A all the way till Masters.
Person D = All A's at O and A Levels and Degree but NO Masters.
Person D will get in first, based on O Levels first filter..
That's all folks ! So hope to see whether my Thoery is somewhat true or not...
