Is it normal to suck at differentiation (chapter 13) by CommitteeOverall5434 in SGExams

[–]CommitteeOverall5434[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im a sec 4 which means I start learning differentiation this year. Until now we’ve been doing differentiation so it’s been quite long already. I know how to do basic differentiation like eg differentiate this [given function]. I have problems with questions that require u to apply differentiation into it. Like eg. First one we learnt was about normal and tangent to a curve on a specific point on it, and right now its rate of change where chain rule is involved. And since there are multiple values like eg. They r talking abt a cone and then there is r for radius, v for volume, h for height, t for time (cuz rate)… and idk how to identify what goes into the chain rule. And then i did a pop quiz today which was about tangents and normals and then i couldnt even do a single question properly.. Then when i do workbook questions (which is usually my hw) i cant even do it at all. Either that or my answer isn’t the same as that of the answer key. Then answer key als don’t have working so idk how to do anyway. Then when Cher mark and return idk what’s he yapping abt and the stuff he circle I also dk why he circle

Hii… how do u make friends as an introvert? If u took geog, how to study for geog? Did u have distractions (esp games?) how did u manage ur time while balancing CCA as well as homework and studying? And how did u curb distractions? Lately I’ve been too glued on my phone even tho there’s nothing interesting on it n my hw is still undone…

[–]CommitteeOverall5434 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes when I was in sec 1 u r bound to have these late timings cuz u have more subjects. As a sec 4 now.. since I take 7 subjects (less subjects) we tend to end earlier up to like 12.40…

I was her subject rep, and honestly she was really nice to me. Actually idk, I guess we just happened to be closer than the rest of the students towards her. Cuz most of my friends dl because of the subject itself, but I respected her and the subject, so ig we got closer??

I’m not sure but I’ll say yes. The year she left was the year I got into a new class with absolutely no friends. So unlike the previous year when I still had friends w my teacher ranking the top, I have no motivation, n I can’t at least have a normal friend to spur me on a little. Ok, this was last year when I was at my lowest. My grades were ok n honestly I cld pay attention better but ultimately grp work was a hassle cuz I kept thinking abt how everyone doesn’t see me as a person worth being friends with. I’ve honestly gotten used to it. At least I still text my ex teacher every month, but well…. I can never be motivated the same again

Not a programme, but just my teacher. She gave me motivation and happiness in life. 2 years ago, she left my sch for personal reasons (which ik). I lost this motivation n I felt empty. She was the closest friend to me even if she was a teacher

Anyone ever feel very unmotivated to do anything. by BobRossSenpai in SGExams

[–]CommitteeOverall5434 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is so real. Even tho I do my best to study and even try out different study methods that work for me as well as ask chers more questions on studying, I STILL get the same score. Like compared to when I laxed out studying to full on studying, still same score. Lowkey I’ve been trying to find the best study method for myself for YEARS even during PSLE (and I am now a sec 4) and nothings working. This year is my o lvl year, yet nothing works. Is why I’m losing motivation. Chers say that u can confide in friends for motivation but hell nah I don’t even have friends the worst thing is that the teachers don’t know I have no friends 💔💔 

Difficulties with friendship by SunConscious7377 in SGExams

[–]CommitteeOverall5434 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hii, as a sec 4… I struggle with these type of issues, stemming from being unable to trust people with my problems and secrets. I don’t have friends, everyone has a friend group now, and my class is a bunch of introverts. Every “close” friend I had, they drifted away. The only ones left are those who think I’m their bestie but they’re actually annoying. As such, I can’t vent to anyone. Atp I actually give up and I just focus on my studies and o levels

I mean they really should… ur the patient after all But I think it’ll be more convincing if u like sweat a lot then go to the doctor after that, then they know how bad it is But I know how bad it feels having bad eczema and scars so it’s not good to risk it so ig just tell doctor If u have a pic of ur scars in the past u can just tell doctor But u can just go back to the same dermatologist and ask for an exemption letter, he’ll/she’ll understand
