SUCCESS 038: Jun Wei S4 EX Pure Physics A1 Pure Chemistry A1

Einstein Elite: Jun Wei

Sec 4 2024 Prelim Grade: EX Pure Chemistry A1 and EX Pure Physics A1

Jun Wei’s Success Motto: “Your dreams are the blueprint while your determination is the architect of your success!”

Q: What results did you get for Pure Chemistry and Pure Physics in the WA2 and the prelim this year?

For my WA2, I achieved A1 in Pure Physics but only scored B3 in Pure Chemistry. I went full steam ahead for my prelim and emerged with double distinctions A1 in Pure Physics and Pure Chemistry.

Q: What did you do in your preparation for the prelim this time round and how was it different from last time?

For the WA2 preparation, my revision was less frequent. I did not go through any notes for the topics to be tested and only attempted a few papers.

After the WA2, I stepped up on my revision. During the June holidays, I dived into the Sec 3 and Sec 4 topics again by going through all the school notes in greater details, understanding and remembering all the core concepts from the different topics. I tested myself these concepts by applying them onto the questions in the topical TYS. After the June holidays, I worked on the prelim papers from other schools to raise my competencies on the more difficult questions as well as to increase my exposure to a larger variation of questions.

Q: What do the tutors in the Achievers’ class do to help you in these subjects?

The tutors in both the Pure Physics and Pure Chemistry Achievers’ class do not hesitate to explain clearly the learning content. They also provide interesting information from time to time on the core concepts which pique my curiosity and strengthen my understanding. The tutors know exactly when to set additional questions during the lessons to reinforce the major concepts to ensure that every student in the class can follow well before they move on.

Q : What is your target for the O level this year? What will you do to achieve it?

My target for the O level this year is A1 for both Pure Physics and Pure Chemistry.

I will press on with my revision, do prelim papers on a daily basis by alternating between Pure Physics and Pure Chemistry. For the questions that I am unable to do or I am still not clear of even after looking through the model solutions, I will seek help from Chat GPT. I will key in my own answers and Chat GPT will tell me if I am correct. If I do not get the correct answer, I will improvise my answer and try again and again until Chat GPT verifies that my answer is correct.

What Team Einstein says:

Awesome performance, Jun Wei! We are extremely proud of you and 100% confident in your capability. Keep up the fantastic drive for excellence, do your best in the O level to pull off the double distinctions in the double Pure Science! We believe in U!!
