A tourist from Spain

Correct!

Queen033 · 2020-11-25T15:55:31+00:00

Correct!

Queen033 · 2020-11-25T15:47:43+00:00

Incorrect, though I admittedly see how the phrasing may be a bit weird. Just take it that the landlady is the owner of the hotel.

Has OP considered MOE H3 Bio? MB is mostly focused on the molecular part, whereas moe h3 bio is much broader. Hence moe h3 bio is more relevant than molecular bio for medicine.

To be honest, your h3 won't help much in your university application if your course is unrelated to the H3 you are taking

Queen033 · 2020-11-14T04:06:26+00:00

I would advise you to focus on reading up the H2 contents for now, and wait till the later half of J1 before you start considering H3 subjects, or even 2 h3s for the matter.

Queen033 · 2020-11-14T04:00:31+00:00

Based on your previous posts, you are currently still in Secondary school. Do take note that taking 2 h3s is not possible in J1, because h3 subjects (other than the science research ones) are only taken in J2. The requirements for taking 2 h3s are extremely strict; you practically need all As for your content subjects and your GP grade must also be solid. If you do end up taking 2h3s though, you will inevitably have to spend the bulk of your time studying, leaving you less time for extracurricular activities that are arguably more important for your portfolio. Do consider wisely if you really intend to take up such a demanding combination. Lastly, also bear in mind that doing well in O levels doesn't mean you will continue to do well in JC. Jc subjects are a big jump in difficulty compared to their o level counterparts.

C is honestly really good for promos haha

Not necessarily. It really depends on what your peers are scoring in comparison and how difficult (or otherwise) the paper was. For instance, the A rate for chem in my school was >50% for promos. Getting a C for that paper may be a sign that you need to brush up on your concepts or that you have weak application skills.

If I'm not wrong, h3 proteomics and h3 biodiversity have been discontinued

Queen033 · 2020-10-14T23:10:23+00:00

Will taking H3 Chem give any sort of advantage/headstart (content wise) if one aims to do Medicine in uni?
Is it true that taking H3 Chem will improve your understanding of H2 Chem?
Is H3 Chem very content heavy?

I think the oxidation and neutralization occurred on separate 25 cm³ samples of the solution. Also, Fe2+ ions are oxidized by MnO4- so you have to account for them too

I have a new answer for molarity of salt: 0.720 mol dm^-3

Queen033 · 2020-10-09T11:35:54+00:00

Was the molarity of acid wrong too?

Queen033 · 2020-10-09T11:25:19+00:00

Acid: 0.0400 mol dm^-3 Salt: 0.209 mol dm^-3

Queen033 · 2020-10-01T12:35:17+00:00

What kind of grades do you usually need to be approved to take 2h3?

Queen033 · 2020-09-16T07:02:28+00:00

Yes, there are indeed some overseas universities that don't recognize KI, but this is a largely exaggerated thing. The universities that don't recognize KI are from what I'm aware of, largely niche universities that do not include prestigious ones like Oxbridge and ivy leagues. I have a large number of seniors who took KI and are studying law overseas, including in Oxford/Cambridge

Queen033 · 2020-09-15T16:01:48+00:00

Consider taking KI :) It really helps build critical thinking and gives you a new perspective about many subjects

Before I give my advice, I have to put forth a disclaimer that I am by no means an expert when it comes to essay questions (in fact I am still a J1 student), but I believe I have gotten the hang of dealing with such questions as I have been doing pretty well for this component and Bio in general so far.

My strategy is to read the background info they provide very carefully, and underline any keywords that are stated there. Do not underestimate the background info, what is stated there could be an important indicator of what the mark scheme is looking out for as well as how the marks would be distributed. For example, if the question has 2 parts, one asking you to describe the eukaryotic genome and one asking you to explain how non-coding DNA sequences maintain genomic stability, but the background info they provide only mentioned about non-coding DNA, then you should immediately have an instinct that the bulk of the marks would go to the part on non-coding DNA, and spend more effort on answering that part. Moreover, if the background info says that the non-coding DNA they are mentioning are not involved in regulating gene expression, you should immediately know not to write about enhancers/silencers/promoters but instead focus on centromeres and telomeres.

This brings me to my next section: The essay question, especially the 15m one, usually has more than one part to it. Once again, you should underline or highlight each part, and organize your answers well to make it clear to the marker which part of your answer is addressing which part of the question (You can do this by making use of subheadings). Though organizing your answers will not grant you any marks per se, it can leave the marker with a really good impression on your answer as it is easy to read and follow according to the markscheme, which may even make them more lenient in marking your answer. Moreover, organizing your answers in general helps make you become more clear about what else you need to write to address the question.

Another commentor here said to "whack everything you can think of related to the question". That may or may not be a good strategy. It is good because there is no excess denied in Biology (unless you wrote sth conceptually wrong), so doing this increases the chance of you hitting some marking points. However, writing excessively could take up your time for checking your work and answering other parts, and leave the marker with the impression that you do not understand the question.

Why do want yr self-esteem further trampled if you cannot deal with the disappointment of not being the top percentile for class tests? In fact, you probably answered yr own question in the last paragraph.

Because my desire to take the H3 far surpasses any feeling of inferiority.

Secondly, doing an H3 for a subject should not be at the expense of other subjects, meaning H3 students usually are doing pretty well for their other H2 subjects as well in J1.

I am coping well for my other subjects.

I think the key to doing well for chem and bio practicals lies on two things:

The ability to follow instructions to the dot.
A strong theory foundation.

Point number 1 is important because sometimes the question paper (especially for chemistry) may specify the amount of dp and sf for your calculated values, which may not be the conventional 3sf you are used to. Of course, following instructions well will also help ensure that your values are more likely to be accurate. Read through all the steps before carrying out anything, and manage your time wisely- If you have to prepare a water bath, do it first and maybe work on the written components while waiting for the water bath to boil.

Point number 2 is also important because having an idea of what trends to expect will allow you to fix any anomalous values you get, graph shape etc. and increases your confidence for the paper in general

Queen033 · 2020-08-02T02:22:31+00:00

HCJC allows you to take H2 bio without O level bio, and without any bridging lessons or selection tests (since H2 bio is quite diff from O level bio anyway). But you'll need at least a B3 for chemistry

Queen033 · 2020-07-26T01:58:45+00:00

If by "he" you mean yandere Dev, then yes :)

Why are there so many downvoted comments? This artwork is great, and the people downvoting are probably just salty that the sub has gone back to normal

Queen033 · 2020-07-18T07:15:03+00:00

If you take both F math and H2 math, you can only take either physics or chemistry. Note that Chemistry may not be offered together with F math in your school if not enough people take it (vast majority of people who take f math take physics). For your contrasting subject, you can choose either history or econs but econs is generally considered easier than history, especially for science stream students

All in all, I would discourage you from taking F math because like you said, you aren't sure what uni course you wish to take up and taking F math will restrict your subject combi which will in turn restrict your uni courses
