Catch Up on the Sec 3 and JC1 topics

The GCE ‘O’ Levels, ‘N’ Levels and ‘A’ Levels are major exams that examine the students’ understanding and application of concepts particularly from Sec 3, Sec 4 and Sec 5 as well as JC1 and JC2.

As such, it is especially important to develop a strong fundamental on the topics covered in Sec3 and JC1 as it will directly impact the understanding of the new topics next year.

It is never easy to fully comprehend the tough topics or difficult concepts, all the more challenging to do so during the final one or two months before the actual exams next year. Some students may lose focus as they do not know what need to be done in their revision while others may experience heightened anxiety which impede them from going into full revision. Others may even lose hope and give up in the exams. These are the scenarios that no student should encounter.

Take meaningful steps during the school holidays now to deal with the topics and concepts that are hindering your progress:

1. Whip out all the notes from January to October and mark out the topics and concepts that are confusing to understand.

2. Spend quality time to re-digest the difficult concepts and weak topics.

3. Seek clarifications from your friends, family members and other sources to clear your confusion.

4. Redo the questions from the worksheets and exam papers to gauge how much you really understand and assess your own ability to apply the concepts onto the questions.

5. Set small tests to see where you stand under stimulated exam conditions.

6. Learn from your mistakes and never repeat them again! Embrace the correct concepts and methods and embark on the correct way to solve the questions which you could not do so previously.

7. Repeat step 1 to 6 on alternate days during the entire Nov and Dec school holidays. You are on your way up!
