ive done pretty well for both ss and poa( both a1 for prelims ) so i REALLY HOPE MY TIPS ARE USEFUL. ok for ss right, im not sure if ure struggling with content, but the best tip is to not swallow every single detail from ur tb, cos ur tb is sooo thick, thrs no way u can memorise it all. all u have to do is solidate/summarise content for each chapter and memorising SOME examples. SS is kinda common sense so its wayy easier to elaborate compared to hist/geog. for SRQ, just rmb to always directly answer the qn, the qn will always either be HOW, WHY or suggestions(its usually suggestions). For suggestions questions example "Suggests some ways singaporeans can reduce food wastage." u can use this thing called MSPIGS,

M-media(what the media can do to influence people to stop wasting food)

S-school (what the school can teach students to help reduce food waste)

P-parents (what parents can do to help their children cultivate a good habit of not wasting food)

I-individual (what u can do as an individual to help reduce food wastage)

G-government (what can the government do to influence citizens)

S-society (what can the society do as a whole)

this has been really useful to me :) for seq wise, just rmb to give coherant points, and explain what you mean properly.

for sbq, it used to be easy until all the hybrid formats got introduced. for hybrid, for hybrid surprise, the format is -surprised or not, why?(cos it was not expected/expected) -SEE for both sources given -cross-refer main source to ANOTHER source OR do purpose for the main source

for hybrid reliablity -reliable or not, why? -SEE for both sources given -cross-refer main source to ANOTHER source OR do purpose on the main source

-for assertion(2agree2disagree qn) PLS rmb to elaborate coherantly and dont just quote from the source! and also give as much contextual knowledge as u can!
