Hi Guys/Gals, I understand that some of you are quite stressed/worried about O’s and the prospect of last-minute studying. With that in mind, here’s some useful advice for planning your study time…

*Disclaimer: The information posted here is PURELY my opinion and based on my experience, nothing more. The reader shall be responsible for planning his/her study time according to his/her style/preference.

Last Minute advice for O’level Students

Here’s the scoop… O’ level’s graded using a “bell curve” normal distribution:


With “B3”s being the highest frequency, this means that Most students get a “B3” with little effort/preparation. This is evident from most English exams, where a majority of students get that grade.

So, an average student will get 6 x B3 = 18 Points for L1B5… not very appealing?

At this point of time, your best bet would be to Focus on your strong subjects and spend additional time ensuring Zero mistakes for that subject, giving you an “A1”
Personally, I would recommend spending 2/3 of your time refining your best 3 subjects and remaining 1/3 for your other subjects (non-A1s).


For your weaker subjects, aim to get at least a “B3”, for each of them!

A “B3” is VERY simple! Know the basic concepts WELL (you can do this by practicing TYS; remember the 1:2 rule?)

For “A1”s, you must be a Master (rabbi) in that subject.

For example, a good way to get <> 3 “A1”s I know had “A1”s for these 3 subjects.

Tip: SPAM PRACTICE PAPERS until you can do them with your eyes closed (Disclaimer: For Math/Sci only)! @_@

Do 20 – 40 papers from now till O’levels.

Quantitative subjects are the easiest to get “A1”
Your other 3 would be:

English
Mother Tongue
1 Humanities (Compulsory)

For English and Mother Tongue there’s little you can do at this point of time but thankfully it’s EASY to get “B3”s for these subjects (But Hard to get “A1”s).

Other “hard-to-score” subjects include: Any Writing-based papers (too subjective)

So therefore, 3 x B3 + 3 x A1 = 12 points!

If you’re more prepared, try to get your “B3”s up to A2/1 standard.

E.g. 3 x A2 + 3 x A1 = 9 points!

Tip: Get at least 4 x “A1”s if you’re gunning for NJC and above.

That’s all… All the BEST for your O’s! God Bless! =) =) =)
So..yea, hopes u guys found it useful. ;D

Xingjie's birthday and Ernest's study tips (FINAL EPISODE!)

Okie, i knw i hvn been posting abt Ernest's study tips, was quite busy these few days and Qm keeps taking up my slots xD so.... before that, wanna wish who a HAPPY BELATED? XINGJIE~ WOOOOOOO~ *cheers, standing ovation* yeps, ytd was Xingjie's birthday, didnt get to inform you all here, haha! but its not too late to wish him though, so if you havent, send him a quick sms or in FB (: HAPPY BELATED XINGJIE

Alright, now.. lets just continue with our final study journey okay? :D *fasten seatbelts* wheee~(i knw i'm childish xD)


Lesson 6 - Memory

Recall graph – Your memory decays rapidly. To retain as much information as possible, you need to recall at various intervals: 0hr, 24hr, 48hr, 1 week…
Or else 70-80% of info will be LOST(lost i tell ya!)

(ya i knw th picture is small, bt i cant make it ani larger)

· USE YOUR 5 SENSES
· USE YOUR IMAGINATION
· Talk to yourself

Here’s an example of how I memorized 6 points in a really boring subject:


Causes of laboratory acquired infections:
1) Contact with lab animals
2) Ingestion of foods
3) Inoculation with sharps (needles etc.)
4) Skin-eye contact
5) Inhalation
6) Spillage

Firstly, use your creativity as well as your logic to study!

I imagined in my mind’s eye that I’m eating putrefying meat on a table with a glass of algae-infested milk (Ingestion). I drop the glass and break it, severely cutting my hand and wrist (Inoculation) as it was spilt (Spillage). That spill results in me breathing in some of the worst smelling milk ever (Inhalation)! Before I can grab my wound which is spilling warm and bright red blood, a purple and black cat (animals) jumps on the table at the milk, scratching out my eyeballs and flesh (skin-eye)!

Grotesque you say? How can you forget such a picture? It gets the job done!

Don’t you think studying can actually be fun? It does when you learn the art of using your untapped imagination! You are the script-writer!

I used my 5 senses to paint a story in my mind. It’s unlikely that I will forget such a scenario when I see the test question!


**Disclaimer: I’m still getting used to this unorthodox method of studying

Lesson 7 - Study Groups


Study groups are a good way to reinforce information! However, it can be more of a distraction, wasting all your time instead of being an effective one!

·
Maximum 3 – 4 people

· NO Gossipers, Gamers, Sleepers, Stressors present

· Come prepared to ask Qs and Clear doubts, NOT to learn all over again!

·
BREAKS 30:5min, 45:10min, 60:15min (DON’T study without breaks)

Study places:

· AVOID FASTFOOD OUTLETS & FOOD COURTS and the like

· Air Conditioning is a MUST (your brain works best at 19 °C)

· Silence with soft classical LYRIC-less music

·
Home or library recommended (Remove all sources of distractions: aka Hp)

·
NEVER EVER study on the bed (or else your mind will associate your bed as a place of work instead of rest)


Lesson 8 - Class room

This is your battlefield(boom boom!), period.

·Sit away from the windows and doors if possible

·Look out for tell-tale signs of hints given and record!

*Remember, your teachers are the ones setting the exam!!!

·Try to position yourself such that the teacher is on your RIGHT (You remember 50% better this way)

·Come prepared with questions of your own, recap immediately after the lesson (remember the memory graph?)

·Know that you can always approach your teachers after the lesson (you won’t be embarrassed! Even better, you can get “close” to them)

TTs all for now = ) = ) =)

Go get YOUR A1s!!!

Remember:

Matthew 6:33 – But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you

Proverbs 23:7 – For as a man thinks in his heart, so is he

Proverbs 13:20 – He who walks with wise men will be wise, But the companion of fools will be destroyed

James 1:5 – If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him

Philippians 4:13 – I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Alright! (: thats all for now, thanks for taking your time to read these tips xD i'm going back to my E-learning nw T,T sobs~ xD SEEYA!
