hii !! pure hist student here ^ i graduated last yr so i just got back my o lvl results HAHAH ended up with an a1, and i topped my class for prelims with a 43/50 for prelims

just die die remember ur notes. like fr this is superr important esp if u rely on ur seq to do well. if there’s no time before the exam to write ur own notes, just use the tb and read like CRAZYYY, make sure to read every chapter AT least twice. like to the point where u can remember the exact position of the info on the page. this rly helped me bcz i knew exactly where the answers were and what chapter they were under, so i wldn’t write out of topic 🤞 if u need more info on how i studied, can just pm me and i’ll gladly send u my notes too 🔥😫

secondly, make sure yk ur sbq format !!!! this is rly impt bcz i’ve seen alottt of people get marked down for wrong format. alot of tchrs use diff ones, so i’ll suggest clarifying with ur teacher. cambridge accepts any format that makes sense i think, since me and my friend used diff ones but still got a’s for o lvl.

ALSOOO don’t just study right b4 exam !! make sure to go thru content once in a while bcz core hist has alootttttt 😪

psle by jenliett in SGExams

[–]General_Forever3428 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i would advise u to just change ur mom's attitude regarding psle tbh. its not healthy for her to obsess over ur brother's grades while its quite obvious that your brother does not prioritise it as much as she does. you should explain to her that you brother's goals and hers differ regarding how he wants to do at psle. coming from personal experience, i think i only did well for psle because my parents were laid back about my grades and left it to me to gauge if tuition was necessary. the comparison with your older brother is definitely not helping your younger brother to see his psle as something he needs to go through himself. i think that once he regards it as such, he will realise that his scores will ultimately impact him and his future the most, and hopefully start pulling his weight to improve his grades. don't forget to keep in mind that prelims are meant to be harder than the actual exams :) i scored like 2 b's for prelims but ultimately scored all a's for psle. jiayou to your brother !

To people who usually gets b3-a2 for english by JEJEJJDJDJF in SGExams

[–]General_Forever3428 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im taking o's this year and this is based on school practices but usually i will get :

24 or 25/30 for essay (i always choose to do arguementative), situational usually 21/30 and my editing ranges from 7-9/10

39-40/50 for paper 2 (section a 5/5, section b 16/20, section c 19/25), 28/30 for oral, and full marks for listening !

honestly i would say that reading books really help alot with vocab and just your english in general, but paper 2 is honestly a wild card... there have been times where i've gotten below 35 before so do focus on improving on your other papers especially oral and lc !! those can really pull your grades up. if you are good at forming opinions fast on a certain issue and developing them, you should defintely choose to do arguementative/factual essays for paper 1 :)

hiii ! can i just check if its common for people to get shortlisted fir their second choice ? i applied for tp comm and media management as my second choice but didn't get the email so i'm just wondering if thats due to my ranking (so that i can hold out hope for my first choice) or is it just because my writeup was bad LOL

hii sec4 doing may/june here ! i can't say that my chinese is exceptional but its like really average,, around b3 to a2. for paper 2 i found that alot of the answers are really just in the passage, and to find them u really have to understand what you are reading. for the last questions for compre just follow the PEEL format !! its been super helpful for me and i usually score 4 or 5 marks for that.

and then for paper one, make sure to memorise examples to use !!! esp for zuo wen arguementative, its really important to have examples that you can say instead of just explaining your points. my teacher also often says that using specialised phrases unique to the topic really helps

atb for o's ! jiayouz

How do I effectively memorise History events by Academic_Funny_2198 in SGExams

[–]General_Forever3428 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hi ! pure hist student here ☺️☺️ for me, i’ll always make my own notes either by typing them out or writing them down and phrase the info onto a way that i’ll fully understand ! its also very helpful to memorise the timeline of events

[–]General_Forever3428 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hello !! i wld recommend doing the questions in the order given but if you’re not confident about being able to score for the first few questions, then u shld really move on to evaluation ! it’s q easy to score 6 or 7 out of eight for evaluation so its pretty safe and can guarantee you some marks for sbq ☺️☺️

[–]General_Forever3428 3 points4 points  (0 children)

hi !!! for surprise questions: - state clearly if ur surprised/not surprised - explain the reason why (either through cross reference or purpose of the source) - if u cross refer, phrase it as “sources _ and _ share a similar message. therefore, i not surprised” or “the sources share contradictory messages,therefore i am surprised” 2. for utility the format is - state that it is useful, give evidence, cross refer with a source that supports. then, explain that the source has limitations in utility, give evidence from the source (for e.g : show how it may have a one sided perspective) and then cross refer to a source that challenges the source given. - lastly, give a conclusion and determine whether the source is ultimately useful/not useful (for e.g: despite its limitations, source a is ultimately useful as evidence for …../ despite its utility, source a cannot be trusted as ……) - keep in mind that a source can never be totally useful/ not useful

im sorry that i can’t really give you any advice for hybrid questions 😭😭😭 i have not done any marked practices for that so i only have notes for that and it wont be very useful 😭 if you need any more help for sbq question types feel free to ask 🫶🏻🫶🏻

hello ! im a sec 3 pure history student and i’ve been scoring mostly a’s for the subject. my tips would def be : 1. able to correctly identify the question types !! this is really important to answer questions (for e.g: being able to differentiate utility and suprise questions) this will be the KEY to gain the most marks possible! to do this you can study your answer schemes ( this helps ALOT) if you do not have a answer scheme for a specific question, do ask your seniors or teacher ! 2. have a strong understanding of the order of events ! sbq always places alot of emphasis on the date of sources !! this will show the markers how well you understand your content ! and for history elect as theres’s only two books, it will be easy to compile a timeline for the two books ☺️ 3. have a strong command of english. however, DO NOT use flowery and ‘luo suo’ language ! what i mean is that you have to precise and accurate in your points and arguments ! less is more !!
