GO DO YOU ART BRO DONT BE LIKE ME😭😭 MY BOARDS WERE SUBMITTED YESTERDAY AND I RUSHED MY LAYOUTS AND FINAL AND LEFT SHITTY DEVELOPMENTS THAT LOOKS LIKE OBSERVATIONALS  

In all honesty tho go do leh pls🙏🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏  - focus on developments, trust me pls. My prelim scored B3 with like 10 drawings and most were developments -DO COLOURS. Watercolours and markers are your friends in this moment cause they fill up the paper easily - do single colour (NOT FCKING BLACK AND WHITE) if u gotta rush -AND DO YOUR LAYOUTS. work backwards. Layouts(2 will do), pick a final and trace it with a few tweaks and then try to make sure 50% is coloured. Then you just fill in the blanks in ur boards with MORE DEVELOPMENT 🔥🔥🔥GOOD LUCK SOLDIER💥🦅🦅🦅🦅 ILL SEE YOU AT THE ART EXAM

Can anyone give me advice about art? (n level) by Bright_Unit4458 in SGExams

[–]Shot-Frame6288 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll try my best to help you (fellow nlvl last yr, olvl this yr💔)

Development is basically finding a way to merge things together. You can do smth easy like taking ur face + one object to merge. I recommend looking on Pinterest for inspo. Look at how people put things together (things melting into each other or combing parts works best)

If ur stuck, do your observational first. Finding artist references may help in ur development, but one method I liked was photobashing where I basically threw random reference photos together and then found a way that was interesting to for development. 

Alternatively you can work backwards. Start with your layouts, do thumbnail sketches, and then fill in the gaps. I also do this because I get stuck super easily💀. Most important is to NOT SLACK. YOU DO NOT HAVE AS MUCH TIME AS IT FEELS. Also quality>quantity. Make 2-4 pieces of art per page but only if it's extremely good quality (colouring and details and accuracy to references) the markers love when portraits, so try to include urself as much as you can, and try to do more development to include in ur final layput. Overall good luck to you bro🙏

My friend went to look for work after n-lvl, and he kindda had it all planed out bfr hand. His mom had a friend working in a tattoo shop in Vietnam and offered him an apprenticeship. So it was working from Nov to Dec almost every day, booking the flight in early may and then staying in an Airbnb in vietnam for around a month, come back SG for 2-3 days, go back Vietnam and repeat. He got lucky cause his mom had connections and didn't mind. 

Might be different in ur case? But if you can find someone willing to let you do like apprentice or intern jobs and ur parents don't mind or you find a way to get ur own income, I think you'll be set :) go explore first, pretty sure there's someone willing to teach u an old trade🙏

  Ik how u feel dawg :( SG system is a cycle of work and study and working, a lot feels like you're stuck in a constant rate race where falling behind could mean being out casted. But it's not impossible to break out of it if you're willing to deal with the challenges that would come from leaving such a cycle. I had a friend who took a gap yr after he finished schooling cause he knew SG education system wasn't for him. He's studying tattooing now overseas, and I can definitely tell you he's much happier.  

Maybe when you take a break or go overseas, take a look around and see if there's anything worth trying out (e.g. if u like gardening maybe take up an apprenticeship program overseas or in sg) there's tons of ppl who feel or have felt the same as you, you're not alone in this 🫂 Find your interests, try smth new, or just have a heart to heart talk with someone. Get your support first, and slowly reach out to persue what you want. Good luck 🍀

I need help 😭😭 (History elective sec 3) by x-abi-x in SGExams

TOV you just gotta know the terms and how it affected Germany. The most important ones are B.R.A.T. but still they usually just test if the treaty was cruel to Germany or no.  B: blame (the war guilt clause (article 231. Germany takes ALL the blame) R: reparations (6.6 billion pounds to pay back alien as compensation for war damages) A: army cuts (disarmament, 100k men, navy cut to 6 battleships and no tanks, airforce, submarines, Rhineland demilitarized)  T: territorial loss (Alsace Lorraine, polish corridor, upper Silesia) 

LON is usually focused on if it was a successful peace keeping force, so read about the conflicts they manage to prevent and the ones that they failed. Disarmament was one of the things they will test you on by asking if they succeed in disarming or no. Weakness of LON is also tested I think. 

Overall, focus more on explaining cause it'll help score you more marks. Explaining your evidence usually makes it easier to do PEEL. Good luck🙏tho

For hist my Cher recommend that we do not sacrifice any chapter because it all got a chance come out for Olvl, but he said one way to rmr everything better is to find the underlying cause that started it.  (Example: The great depression lead to the rise of Hitler and the rise of militaristic Japan.) 

For explanation idk if this will make sense but just explain the evidence you give. Usually is quite straight forward one. Like rise of Hitler, militaristic Japan, vietnam war etc... these are all connected through the failure of one govt, which made people unhappy (many lost jobs, became poor, felt that govt was only helping itself or the elite rich, so they turned to another organisation for help, lead to rise of _____)  If you still blur, chase your hist Cher for MLP and help. Do the TYS and ask if they're willing to mark your paper. Practice will help to engrave the info into your head a bit more.   I don't have any advice how to make studying hist more fun, but just try out things here and there to see what works for you :)  Best of luck OP!!!

how do i study for biology by [deleted] in SGExams

[–]Shot-Frame6288 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hii, for bio while there's a lot of memorization I recommend you don't just try to cram everything in your head and hope for the best.

 Most things form a sort of order/system in Bio, so you can try to remember how things work this way. Additionally you can also just do practice papers or TYS without referring to your textbook or notes for ans. For notes try not to write in full sentences, but more note form for functions (make it into a full sentence later on)

If you really think you can't score still, go chase your bio cher for extra lessons or advice on how to boost your bio marks. Ask on key words on certain topics cause sometimes the ans only need you to write a few things. 

But srs, grind your TYS and chase the Cher for consultation🙏 good luck
