How I survived O's.

This is to address the many requests I received from my lovely readers. ;)

In sec 3, I REALLY DIDNT STUDY/PAY ATTENTION @ ALL. You can ask Xue. HAHAHA. I was supposed to retain cause I failed both my major pure sciences & A Maths. But my teachers were kind enough to push me up a grade to pass me. Nonetheless, English & E Maths were kind to me & they were the 2 subjects I did well without much effort. So in sec 4, I decided to buck up. It requires mad effort, really. & just like everyone else, I started to chiong only during prelims. It nearly killed me cause I knew nuts about my sec 3 stuffs & had to prep up for the sec 4 stuffs too. But I never gave up.

2 weeks before prelims I focused on my weaker subjects. I started writing notes for humanities & practiced A Maths everyday. Humanities is the only subject that I dwelled on for notes. For everything else, I just kept doing assessments & TYS.

For Social Studies, seriously just choose 3 themes to study cause @ least 1 will definitely be tested. If you're lucky 2 or all of the 3 themes could be the 3 SEQ topics.

For Geography, DIEDIE STUDY NATURAL VEGETATION. It's the easiest. of course, you have to know the other topics very well too. There's no easy way out for Geography, sadly. & it is very important to quote examples. Tre important, hands down.

For English, I only made an effort when O's came. I found my flare in writing; Argumentative. I wrote 3 full essays a week before O's. The day before O's, with whatever possible argumentative topic came to my mind, I wrote down points + rebuttal. & I always ends my essays with a catchphrase related to the topic. Eg, Seeing is not necessarily believeing, sometimes we should stick to the status quo, English is the lingua-franca of the world (used this for O's, picked it up on the day itself!). I hate comprehensions as much as anyone else, really. But instead of wasting your time & energy to loathe summary writing, learn to love it. Much convincing & persuading required, but definitely worth it.

Dont give up & dont stay up the whole night before O's! Get at least 5 hours of sleep. ;)

Goodluck future O candidates. Yall still have many months to prepare. Tag me if yall have any other enquiries, I'm more than happy to share. ;D
