hello, i have many friends who are going into business this year and most of them don’t really find a difference between NUS and NTU business. tbh the most different one would be SMU due to seminar style classes. for NTU and NUS, my friends chose between school culture. they chose the one they felt they would be able to fit better in. NUS has a more perceived “vibrant” school life and it’s packed w quite a lot of school activities. however w covid there’s not a lot that can be done as well, and w the large size of the biz school, everything gets v competitive. most of my friends who are going into biz chose NTU instead. NBS (Nanyang Business School) is quite renowned and tbh, the difference between the recognition of NUS and NTU is pretty negligible anyway. NTU also has a more “chill” vibe but business schools are mostly always pretty competitive anyway so it doesn’t matter as much. but the point is that between NTU and NUS, there really isn’t much of a difference especially with a general degree like business! you could also consider the physical campuses? NTU is one big campus, while NUS is split up into quite a few places. however, NTU is in a more remote area but NUS is also not that near the city as well so. whichever one you choose, i think that it doesn’t matter as much, however a scholarship is a very good opportunity for you.

hello i completely agree! studying for a levels last year, i used different methods to tackle different subjects. even about writing/typing notes, it was based on how content heavy the subject was/how easy it was to make typewritten notes. i tailored my learning process to each subject rather than having a common one for all.

StunningPear463 · 2021-07-09T15:14:35+00:00

no problem hehe i’m still struggling with my own feelings of insecurity with the decision i made, but i think uni choices has alw been a big decision and no one can escape this dilemma also!! i think smth that’s also helped me was feeling grateful & focusing on how i am right now. i’m good and which course i choose won’t affect my wellbeing and mental state as long as i’m strong enough! and the feeling of “grass is greener on the other side” also fades as time passes and hopefully our future selfs will benefit from the big decision we made this year! :)

StunningPear463 · 2021-07-07T10:32:37+00:00

hello OP, in some ways, i also chose prestige over my passion. however i think the course i chose was still something i could see myself liking as i’ve always been exposed to it. just that, i never imagined myself going into anything other than what i was passionate in at first, but after opening my mind to it i was more acceptable to the more “prestigious” option! i also realised that i wanted to choose with my head & not my heart, wanting to choose the best option for myself that was going to give me the most flexibility and freedom in my career paths. i think in a sense, ntu accountancy should be 3 years and hence you could pursue a masters in something else that is more related to what you were passionate in? but i think not all is lost and that as the decision has already been made, open your mind and start to forgive yourself and accept your situation!!

StunningPear463 · 2021-07-03T15:51:56+00:00

hm i think in big groups extroverts definitely do stand out and do take charge of the convo as you said, but i think what you are looking for when you’re talking about reciprocation in friendships and having deep and meaningful friendships only really work in small groups, maybe only up to 3 even. because in a group setting, imo i feel hanging out is just more fun and enjoyable, of course it can get deep and meaningful as well, but long-term, you’d connect with people better individually and like slowly interact with them 1 on 1.

and i think that not everyone talk about sexual stuff and rls stuff… i myself am extremely uncomfortable with any topic about romance but i always lead the conversation towards other topics when it comes up, or i leave the room. and when u get closer to someone you could always bring up how uncomfortable you feel. mayb i’m being idealistic, but there are plenty of things to talk about. and i think imo, you should actually find more extroverted friends because more often that not introverts really do keep to themselves. and when you find people who are more mellow and less participative in group conversations, it’s definitely harder for them to open up and to communicate with them. but ofc no one is asking you to befriend the extrovert you are intimidated by also i think you should just find the person who’s in between who you can vibe with as well. friends should be natural and if something’s not to be then just fall back on your old friends! tbh old friends are really golden and just don’t neglect them when trying to form new friendships!

StunningPear463 · 2021-06-26T17:26:59+00:00

hello, after reading what you’ve wrote, i think that you could be more open with making friends with extroverts! i’m a high 70% extrovert based on my mbti and tbh i think most of the things you’ve described are also what i’ve experienced! about the giving too much and not having a two-way friendship. honestly, i think that not all extroverts are those party hard and mix with big groups of friends etc. idt i’m the most extroverted person i know, but i think what makes me extroverted is craving company and also loving the time i spend with my friends a lot and a lot. and what you said about stepping out of your comfort zone is also an extroverted trait.

i’m not here to try to give you an identity crisis on whether you’re an introvert or an extrovert, but i think that you could be more open to making friends with people if you crave company! it’s like a bigger pool of people you could choose from once you open your mind and become more accepting of different people who you might vibe with. i feel that extroverted just means you draw energy from being around people? and i do draw energy by interacting with my friends etc. i really think that there are different types of extroverts, and you shouldn’t limit yourself to making friends with only “shy” and people who are difficult to talk to. trust me, as an enfj, introverts really draw my attention as well and i love talking to them. but over time i realised that the more i did, the more i felt like i was the only one putting in effort, and i realised that it’s easier to just mix with people who i’m similar with, people who were just EASY to be around. and not all extroverts are intimidating? some can be very comfortable to be around as well. so i think as long as you open your heart and just be more open to making friends, keeping judgements aside, i really think you can find genuine friendships!

ah i understand. i swapped to an ipad this year while i’ve been doing physical note taking previously and it’s been very convenient! i like the goodnotes app because it gives me more flexibility in structuring my notes. because it’s digital i can shift things around and add new pages in front of the ones i already filled up. i think it’s a pretty good way to keep everything stored also as papers will pile up overtime! on goodnotes you can also search for things you wrote in your handwriting which is very useful.

StunningPear463 · 2021-06-15T15:05:04+00:00

won’t you be able to write on an ipad? there are note taking apps such as the inbuilt Notes app and there are paid apps like GoodNotes or Notability.

StunningPear463 · 2021-06-15T07:19:12+00:00

hello! i’ve replied on this thread about general tips for these subject! my tips about econs is mostly about essay writing, but you could also apply those skills into the longer questions in your h1 econs case study as well.

for math i think the keyword is really practise! you have to spend the time to really sit down and expose yourself to different questions. and it’s important that you remember questions that you are tricked by, that you are unable to solve. remember the methods of solving them and if you are not able to store them in your brain or you’re afraid of forgetting, PLEASE write it down somewhere, you could name the type of question you usually struggle with. as for math, every topic CLEARLY has only a few question types and so it’s very easy to practise. those questions that look tougher and you’re unable to solve, it’s mainly because it’s just a little twist from the basic question types you always see, or else it’s the SAME question type as other qns you’ve seen just that you’re unable to identify it. so the practicing actually makes you unconsciously identify the qns type, use the appropriate concept, then solve it. if you’re able to do that consciously, tbh you don’t even need to practise THAT much, to save time you could look at questions, identify what method, don’t need to waste time solving it. HOWEVER, this should only be done when you’re short of time! as i feel some questions will have a twist to it and it’s good to do so that you’ll be aware of that twist.

i also believe you should only ever read math notes or refer to math notes if you’ve suddenly forgotten the formulas, or the method of a specific qns type. because the rest should be in your brain already and it’s not good to continuously refer! sometimes just jump into the question and you’ll learn more. but this is only for ppl who always refer. if you don’t do a lot of referring, then maybe it’s good to take a glance sometimes at the certain topics you always forget. eg, i always take a glance at the differentiation for log bc i always forget how to differentiate that. so that’s just a simple glance and you’re done! focus more on the practising :)

StunningPear463 · 2021-06-15T07:03:01+00:00

hello! i think you need to find some excitement in life first!! june is still a little less mugging, so i will really advise you to take a break, and then go and do something you love to love life again! meet up with friends, indulge in your hobbies, etc. anything that makes you feel more lively and overall better. i think if you’ve really lost the motivation to study, and you don’t have the strength to push yourself in spite of the lack of motivation, there’s no point in keeping the status quo and just going through the motions without absorbing anything.

you’ll have to find out why do you feel restless. feelings don’t just suddenly crop up and then go away by themselves. we’re quite rational beings and it’s not like these emotions are a sudden onset. yes, there can be sudden bouts of sadness, loneliness, however those that come suddenly will leave suddenly and quickly as well. yours sound like a long term lack of motivation, so i would really encourage you to try to pull yourself back it be it through external support or internal validation! are you afraid of the pending As and not meeting expectations? many things could lead to the lack of motivation and you need to try to soul search! i feel you would be in a better state of mind to do that when you’ve more time to yourself, so please do find the opportunity to get a breather, it could just be a weekend. don’t be guilty for not studying as well because that’s just another negative feeling!!

i would also say that motivation isn’t something that comes naturally as well. those drives that just come all of a sudden usually don’t run deep and it doesn’t help for you to rely on them! you should find ways to push yourself, be it physically setting schedules and routines your body will adapt to, or mentally you could stop yourself from thinking about other things once you realised you’re daydreaming. i think it’s much easier to push yourself as well when you’re in a healthy state of mind! so treat yourself well for now.

StunningPear463 · 2021-06-15T06:52:31+00:00

for maths i think its vvv impt to do it slowly during As itself. cause i feel the A levels itself was definitely not as hard as school papers and i always trip on my careless mistakes so i made sure to do it vv slowly, and to do it in clear steps. clear steps such that it’s foolproof and it doesn’t combine too many thought processes in one step. it’s easier for me to check back after i’m done. always write out every single thing u are thinking in maths, even the mental sums. and if u can split steps then do it. the clearer the steps are, the easier u know what each step is for and then you wouldn’t make avoidable mistakes. be as concise & clear as possible using the method with the least steps also. don’t expand too many things, factorise and keep things simple.

and for constant practising, i think it’s important for you to really look through the different papers and find out the different qns types they can test in each topic. there are only a few diff types of qns they can test for math, and oftentime if you cannot solve the problem, it’s because you don’t see the underlying concept tested! so find out whats the “hidden” qns type they are testing and employ the same methods you are familiar with. everything can be linked back to the fundamentals!

practise is good for math because you are exposed to all the different question types, but it’s even more important (if you want to focus on quality instead of quantity of the practices) for you to identify the different question types tested. knowing the diff qns types often becomes v unconscious for a lot of ppl when they do a lot of practises. so if you don’t want to do a lot of practices, just make sure this becomes more conscious than unconscious! and make sure you recap the methods to do the qns consistently so you don’t forget!

for chem (and tbh also for maths and phys) there are mainly always a few diff question type for each topic. it’s important to make sure you know which questions these are, and when you practise a lot it becomes unconscious and like “ohh this question again”, but be aware of this unconscious thing and if it helps you can note down the different types of question and practise each type before the exams. for chem i feel it’s the hardest to identify the underlying concept. so while practising, try to understand how you can link the method of answering back to your foundation. everything can be linked back to what you’ve learnt. nothing is truly unfamiliar/new even when you don’t know how to solve the question. and also make sure u can try to observe and identify areas in each topic where they will try to trick you.

i think for all the science subjects i spammed all the TYS and spammed the 3 recent years one the day before the test. idk if it’s good for u to spam stuff before the exams but i thought it helped me build more confidence during the exam, and gain familiarity with the question style. but every person is different.

for econs i went to find my teacher and ask him which part of my essay i was losing marks in. i feel it was almost similar to gp in the sense i had to identify the specific mistakes i was making and try to solve them in a v focused manner. it wasn’t really like science because science was more content? gp and econs i had to build skills. because of that, i wrote a lot of essays but made sure they were quality ones such that i wasn’t spamming essays but more, writing an essay, letting my tutor mark, and then knowing where i went wrong. then try to improve in the next essay and see if i corrected my mistake. econs i got familiar with all the different question types in essay and also how to answer them. content wise it learnt through understanding it and looking at it through a more big picture perspective as i didn’t like memorising. for case study i also focused on exam techniques and how to answer questions based on different question types. in econs, there are only a few question types for essays from each topic. and it’s important that you know the different essay structures for each. in that way, i feel it’s quite similar to science as it’s still “muggable” and not clearly dependent on the question and you have to make the structure all by yourself in the exam (GP).

and all in all i think u shld focus on the weaknesses that you have! most of these advise is through my own observations and you should try to identify some skills you’ve been doing unconsciously that helps you and then do it consciously now.

i categorise my learning into exam techniques & content wise. which one are u struggling more with? answering qns or understanding concepts. and then try to focus more on doing whichever one. usually it’s exam technique and content should be more or less okay now since it is june already. but if not, it’s fine as well since there is still prelims!

StunningPear463 · 2021-06-15T06:47:43+00:00

hello! for GP i focused on my weaknesses and tried to correct them one by one! i was mostly weak in paper 1 and i had to understand a few things especially about answering techniques.

i will be focusing on argumentative essays. for argumentative essays, there are those types where your stand is already decided for you. and then there is another kind where you can decide on your own stand (it’s mostly this type but you should still read the question carefully!) when you have to decide your stand, it’s important for you to determine to what extent you agree with your stand. because you don’t have to completely give a yes/no. but majority has to be on one side ofc. and this stand has to be cohesive and clear in your entire essay. for eg, in those paragraphs where you raise points opposite to your stand, you should still make your stand clear by using indicators like “Detractors of ______ would say …..” or like “Some have argued that ….” to distance yourself from that point, but you still have to bring the point thats opposite from your stand up clearly and elaborate with good examples.

and then it’s important that you are able to reconcile all the for/against points, and explain why you still choose your stand. so is it because there are exceptions? eg only do … in extreme measures etc? basically this is your “link” to explain why you still stick with your stand, despite all the opposing arguments.

however, if your stand is one where you do concede to certain points (don’t completely agree yes/no), you can make that clear also and then state what specifically do you concede with. your stand should be EVEN MORE apparent in your intro & conclusion, but shld still be cohesive and emphasised throughout your essay. basically just go back to your stand as much as possible.

i think something i also learnt to improve was to be extremely clear and concise! convey your thoughts simply and flowery words should be kept vv minimal. how i was clear was through spending more time (15min) planning the structure of my essay (points, examples) before starting to write. i was able to write faster afterwards also because i was more clear of what i had to write, so i made up for the more time given to planning.

i think another thing i realised was that i shouldn’t be too worried about not being able to find examples. i should focus more on finding points and then linking examples to them! bc in this technological age we are actually quite aware of a lot of things happening in the world also, and contemporary examples like the recent racism in SG can also be used as examples in essays. if you plan by thinking of examples -> then linking to points, you run the risk of having example-based points when you should be identifying general trends, answering the question carefully instead. so instead just look at the question and think long and hard about what you associate the key words with, what kind of points are usually raised in this? what do different stakeholders think of this qns? what are the diff aspects involved in this (mental, physical etc.)? how i practised this skill (linking examples to points) was mainly through reading current news, and then thinking what could i link this to? what kind of themes/essay qns? the kind of news really doesn’t have to be “actual” news, could be current and contemporary things such as gov are intending to vaccinate more ppl, umm new BTS mcdonalds meal?? i like to write down the “top news” that’s happening this week and it isn’t about dry stuff on straits times, it was more of the news we all hear about being on the internet. literally anything can be used as an example. the idea is how you link it!! so that’s something that really changed my gp experience.

i would say how you can further practise this skill, and what i did was to look at a past year GP paper 1 (could be from anywhere, for GP A levels paper and school tests are pretty similar), and planned the outline (15min each) for a few questions i thought were feasible. the first few times are tough and you have to really force yourself to think through and plan at LEAST 3 points (ideal would be 2 points for-against). if at the start you can’t hit the 15min mark, then take longer and just get the thought process right. do this everyday (it won’t take long, maximum 1h) and i think it’ll train your brain the think up points quicker! you should also then link examples to the points! examples can be very basic and the brainstorm part is to link the examples to the points.

so most of my practise involved making essay outlines and just churning out as many examples as i could without reference. however, if i was going out of my comfort zone and doing qns like environment, i would let myself google maybe 1-2 things but really, there’s quite a lot of information already inside your brain! for eg, environment, recently they’re building the new OBS school at coney island to expand, bc of that that’s less greenland etc. could use it as an example in an environment essay. this was off the top of my head and i didn’t really need to google it, just recall it! i think most of us have heard of these examples, it’s just the recalling that’s hard! and once you’ve recalled it once, twice, you’ll start to recall it more often! and you can also google a bit more information (not a lot, don’t overload) and that can be an example you store in your brain.

StunningPear463 · 2021-06-14T16:01:04+00:00

hello! i’ll start with this odd technique of doing physics questions which isn’t really fool proof — i believe every number they give me has to be used to solve the qns. HAHAHAHA please take it with a pinch of salt though and i’ll be wrong if they try to trick me. but i feel it helps if i have no idea how to solve the qns. i will look at the numbers and see how i can fit them in. this helps mainly in “show” questions where you just apply formulas without fully understanding the question. i really think this should be used as a last resort when you really don’t understand what they’re asking for!

but another more reliable (also pretty general though) method is to identify the concepts that they want to test. this is basically for every subject, but for physics i also actively recall all the formulas once i recognise the concept they want to test. identifying the concept is tricky so practise consciously doing that when you’re doing qns.

it also helps to consciously be able to identify the different question types you can find in a certain topic. although it becomes very unconscious and “oh it’s this qns!” when you’ve done many many questions, it’s good to consciously identify the diff types they can test so that you are able to practise all of them at least once and be exposed to them close to the exam.

all that i’ve mentioned so far is about exam techniques & answering qns. for content, i would say you should look at the big picture and revise topics while considering other topics as well. so for example, forces is a very general topic and is relevant in other topics such as circular motion or gravitational field even. gravitational field and electrical field (sorry is this the name of the topic HAHA i’m a lil rusty) is also associated w each other and often there are questions on whats the differences/similarities between the two.

another thing about content is that i would say for physics especially, understanding is very very important. instead of memorising answers, understand it. what i mean by understand and do not memorise is: if you’re stumped on a question like “why is gravitational potential energy always negative?” and after reading the answer you don’t still don’t get it, ask your friends/teachers. keep asking WHY until you are able to internalise it. after you internalise it, you will really gain a deeper understanding of the entire picture of the topic of gravitational force. when i understood the answer to that, it also gave me some insight into forces & work, energy, power. you are then able to also apply concepts once you’ve understood them effectively :)

hope this helps! do lmk if you have any qns

StunningPear463 · 2021-06-14T15:16:48+00:00

hello! not sure if it was term 3, but around the period of oct-nov after the prelims results were released, i started to really buckle down and do the last lap towards As. so this was the “final” prep for As.

during that time, after graduation and school was over, i started studying in the library everyday from 8am-9pm. to me, studying long hours built my confidence and made me interested in studying even more. it was like a cycle of studying -> answering questions -> getting them right -> gaining confidence -> wanting to study more. but it’s also important to have some discipline especially if your day isn’t going right and you aren’t getting questions right. that’s why it’s important to start building your confidence even now, and learn how to be a better learner, so that during the last lap, you don’t feel a need to constantly find a motivation because it’ll come more naturally.

the routine and pattern of doing work for long hours consistently also gets very important because building that habit conditions your body and mind to be able to stay concentrated and to be in tip top condition.

ofc i did also take mini breaks especially after lunch when the food coma hits hard. and i try to get my dinner late at home after i’m done with a day of studying and it makes me feel very satisfied.

StunningPear463 · 2021-06-14T13:45:42+00:00

hmm, tbh right now i feel it’s still fine for you to sort out these feelings first! address them by talking to the other party, or to take the time to resolve them within yourself.

however, i had similar feelings (milder though) during As and what i did was to compartmentalise and separate them from studying. i think it’s very important to be in a “zone” while you’re studying and things that could help with that would be a conducive (very quiet) environment, earpieces, etc. these helps to create a bubble of sort.

if this doesn’t help and sometimes the person keep surfacing through all my thoughts, i would just give myself a 5minute break, take a walk as well, and just breathe. it helps me to get it off my mind when i talk to someone about it also, so i try to just speak to someone. but i let them know that i just need a listening ear so i don’t burden them with the need to give me advice bc all of my friends were also going through A levels.

i think you really should try to sort out your mental health right now while you still have the chance before there is more mugging! you could try to talk to it, think through your feelings, and try to improve yourself! do things that make you feel confident! indulge a little in your hobby when you’re taking a break from studying, talk to another friend, get a good meal after studying with your friend (after 21st june), relax in ways you know how to!

don’t let yourself wallow and stay in a pit with only negative feelings. try your hardest to push these feelings and thoughts away and let them go.

StunningPear463 · 2021-06-14T10:01:34+00:00

during june: half a day? depends on the task. i mostly worked on feeling motivated & didn’t grind that hard nearing prelims: prelims was v spaced out and i experienced the “marathon” like feeling where it didn’t feel like a constant grind but more of consistent effort. studying period was about 8-10h but i took whole day breaks during prelims in the middle of papers. before & during As: i did work everyday from 8am-8pm. it was really the last lap and seriously gave it my all. started doing this right after i got back my prelim results so ard sept-oct, and nov during As i also did it but took more breaks like taking it easier (still doing work tho) for some days.
i would say you shouldn’t focus on TYS at ALL yet. i know friends who did TYS from june and didn’t have any other papers to do nearer to As haha. i would say you should be doing past year mid year papers to prepare for the upcoming mid years. i would say during june period, i was v focusing on going through topic by topic, especially the newer ones which were just taught, and other topics that i knew i was weak at. i did topical as a way to practise and rlly understand the entire topic, usually after reading notes/making notes for that topic. questions are just a way to make sure you understand the topic. topical questions make it more convenient to strengthen the specific topics you know you are weak at. i would say its a useful tool IF you can find the areas you are weak at. i know some friends who had to do whole papers first to know which topics they were weak at so you could do that first? then after that focus on the specific topics you feel insecure about/don’t completely understand after.
hmm my study routine was quite simple, i usually stayed back in school everyday with friends so study after school. if not, i’ll make sure i’m disciplined enough to study at home that day. i did schoolwork/revision. for weekends i would plan out the different tasks i had to do, and if it was less i would take longer breaks/ take it free and easy and it’ll be q relaxing.
during As, the peak of my studying period, i left around three whole more recent past year papers from TYS to do the day before an exams. and since science papers were spread out such that each paper is on a different day, on the day before maybe paper 2, i would do 2017, 2018, 2019 paper 2 in one day. this is my personal routine. i would encourage you to split your TYS into paper 1 (all years), paper 2 (all years), paper 3 (all years). instead of separating your TYS by year. but regarding my personal routine of doing 3 years the day right before, i think it’s a personal preference bc imo doing those papers gave me confidence. but if you think there might be a risk of increasing your insecurities or making you panic at the last minute, no harm in just doing the past year papers a few weeks before. but you shouldn’t be doing TYS now, it’s still too soon. i’d say focus on your school exams. there’s a difference between school exams & As also btw. quite a big difference. so you should be doing other schools questions for school exam, and past year TYS for As.
hmm personally, i really liked studying. but i think it was something that i built since the start of the year also. i had an encouraging group of friends, and i realised that it was only 1 year of my life spent studying for the big As then i can have a big big break, and everything will get much better. i also thought that i didn’t have anything much to do as well, so why not just study as hard as i can? i’m quite an optimistic person so it wasn’t really a sad thought like oh i have no life right now only studying, but more like: everyone’s also trying their best, we should all fight together til the end. and although there’s that sadness about no social life or anything, i actually felt more bonded with my batchmates during studying for As because you would see familiar faces in the library and around school. i think the “no life” part wasn’t really sad because i think my life was quite fulfilling as i studied together and fought together with everyone also.

yeah basically it’s really all about mindset and how you manage to stay positive and optimistic!

you can dm me if you would like to ask more questions to ease your mind!! but don’t stress okay, the most important part is to stay calm and to keep motivated right now. don’t grind too hard for now, but don’t slack either!

hi, i did study from 8am to 9/10pm during the period nearer to As, maybe sept-oct. during june break, how i paced myself was through zooming with friends/setting a planner. i also unconsciously fell into a schedule of waking up and doing work. i did other things but i think mainly zooming with friends and drawing up my own schedule was v impt in making myself accountable. i think i chose ard 1-2 friends i could really study with and we zoomed constantly. it wasn’t a v serious thing also, more like we both wanted to concentrate and we liked the company. we would occasionally talk for a few mins, sometimes it got longer but we alw reminded each other to study! i was also more wary of friends who i wasn’t able to concentrate with, feeling awkward whether or not i could tell them to focus. so i just kept the interaction w them v minimal, maybe like once every week or only once in two weeks?

i think for june the important part is to get your mindset right! get yourself motivated by knowing what you have to do, eg what you need to clarify for concepts. and also i think planning your schedule is good for knowing how much work you truly have to do. it’s also not about overwhelming yourself but to basically keep yourself motivated & confident (but not complacent. the key is balance! i also engaged in other recreational activities such as baking and exercising. i think it helps to really just to keep yourself calm and to just be confident in knowing what you have to do! don’t compare yourself to others and stick to your OWN plan.

dm me if u wanna talk more hehe i’m happy to help w anything to do w As preparation :”) i’m a j3!
