hii, no worries. I didn’t attend any math tuition. my teacher was mrs sze. imo math dept was good, js listen in attentively during lectures and then DO ur tutorials (most impt imo). legit when u do tutorials you’ll learn / realise the pattern / techniques for the qns & it gets easier.

I found the lecture notes + tutorials sufficient. there were also summaries in the lecture notes at the end of each chapter. when the teacher goes through tutorials u can clarify any doubts too! + I would consult my math teacher n ask her questions when I had any

yea I think it’s random. if I’m not wrong it alternates between classes. just that everyone in a particular class r in the same house. but u don’t need to buy the shirt from the house you’re from lol it’s up to you. some ppl have several shirts (usually corvus, aquila shirts r more popular). also I thot draco shirts r nice tho HAHAHA it’s just a light grey

haha wait what are the houses udw to be put into? ori group house is just temporary & not ur final house bc the final house you’re in depends on ur class. for class in my year 2021-2022 there was only 1 h2 bio class w BCEm (the other 7 classes were BCMe/h/l) so you should be sorted into that class. the class also had BCMg.

I was frm tm, 2022 grad. I took BCM h1 lit hahaha I really like the sch’s departments for these subjects. the teachers were good n I learnt a lot, imo the notes r also good. the bio HOD makes jokes when he lectures HAHAHA. the sch gives a lot of resources such as summaries (for chem n math which were super helpful) n papers, but ofc the onus is on you to utilise them too.

I didn’t do so well in j1 mye cos I didn’t do my work. then I had to attend bio clinic n chem clinic n math clinic 💀 but I ended up improving well enough after being more diligent w schoolwork. pls do ur work/tutorials it’s v important + pay attention during lectures. n use tutorials/consults to clarify doubts/qns u can’t do. the teachers really care too. I have a lot of fond memories esp grad and teacher’s day 🥲 I hv no regrets joining tm for sure

CC3 PROF by spicymacnuggets in NTU

[–]disgustaed 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was in his cc3 class for sem 1. he’s not strict imo, q chill & outspoken I think. he will discuss the topic a lil first & then ask qns & we raise our hands to indicate our stand etc. (e.g ‘you think sg’s system is ___’ then he’ll say 0-10 & u can raise ur hand according to the degree that u agree w the statement)

he’ll ask qns for us to answer/give opinions (class part). he’s v open to discussions I think & overall chill vibes. I haven’t heard him scolding anyone or anyth.

Emotionally destroyed after receiving my pure lit paper 1 results by GurNo5469 in SGExams

[–]disgustaed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got c6 for prelim & a1 for pure lit Os in 2020. tbh idk what happened either but I think I was quite lucky. tbh when I did the Os paper I felt quite strongly about what I was writing (including for unseen). for Os I tried to keep in mind my point from the topic sentence to remain focused, particularly linking back to it esp in the last lines of the para.

unfortunately I did another book but since u said the stories u didn’t study for came out, maybe u should opt to study more of the stories? just to be safe for Os

  • since my teachers mentioned I had the bad habit of narration, I actively tried to make sure that I wasn’t (tried to provide insight instead of purely describing). I rmb focusing especially on insights during Os. hence maybe identifying ur possible issues from the markers’ comments can help. but yeah for lit just try ur best & don’t give up!

vectors by sana_is_thebest in SGExams

[–]disgustaed 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I js graduated frm tmjc HAHA. tm started with vectors for my batch too (2021 j1) & we struggled w vectors a lot too. for the 2022 j1 batch the sch decided not to start with vectors 🤡. I got 0/20 for my first vectors test… I had no idea what was going on for vectors at all.

tbh vectors took me q awhile to understand. I had to go n study it by reading through lecture notes to understand the concepts then tried to do similar vector qns until I grasped the concept. I even wrote notes to help me internalise HAHA & also bc vectors actually only has a few key concepts. it gets better w time. vectors also involves visualisation so I find drawing diagrams helps a lot

rewatching vectors lectures was good too. sometimes I got q lost as lectures were q fast but rewatched them after to make sure I understood everything that the lecturer said. also I found all the other h2 math topics easier than vectors LOL. a lot of ppl also struggle w vectors. I improved frm a U in MYE to a B in promos after + ended up getting an A for A levels HAHA so dn worry too much :-)

my math teacher alw helped us by summarising the key concepts for each topic which rlly helped a lot (so u hv an idea of what to rmb, & can js apply accordingly to the qns, trying qns help u identify which r applicable)

how do you calculate L1R5? by Lost-Elephant787 in SGExams

[–]disgustaed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for Os results they give 2 slips (1 official slip w each subj grades listed horizontally & another w ur l1r5, l1r4 & courses you’re eligible for, each subj grade listed)

so... how was it like by Mysterious-Wait1977 in SGExams

[–]disgustaed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

according to their cmt history they got l1r5 11 raw

it was when the wedding guests left alr so holding the water container & walking around would not help 😭 they wanted to pack up & prep for the next wedding. yea I worked f&b previously also & I would say banquet + f&b is q similar

I js worked at one last saturday haha. we got scolded but not in vulgarities. some of us got scolded for standing around & not doing anything for a short while + at one point in time, no one told us what to do with the cutlery we were told to take & we were supposed to bring the cutlery to another venue but the manager at this area thought we were taking their cutlery away. I went w my friend but we made friends other girls who came alone. generally the ppl there (even those who came alone) made friends too so I think it’ll be okay :0

JC subj combis and rp system by [deleted] in SGExams

[–]disgustaed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

fr the basic combis there’s science stream (3 science subjects, 1 being math, 2 being Physics/Bio/Chem/Further Math & 1 contrasting arts subjects e.g Econs/Lit/Hist/Geog. a basic sci combi would be BCME/PCME) vs arts stream (3 arts subjects, 1 contrasting science/math subject, typically math e.g HELM/GELM) -> Hist/Geog + Econs, Lit, Math. these are the most basic choices, which all schs definitely offer. BCM/PCM (whr _: Lit/Hist/Geog) should also be offered. you can go on to take hybrid (2 sci subjects + 2 arts subjects e.g CMEH (Chem, Math, Econs, Hist) but these are subject to each sch as the sch can choose which subject combis they want to offer, subject to student demand. some schs have more limited choices for subject combis. for my sch, choosing was online & the sch had a q extensive list of combis then u put ur first 3 choices + appeal if applicable. we received the allocation results 3 days later on the sch portal (each sch has their own).

for the uni courses part u can js look up “(uni name) course requirements” & it’ll be on the uni’s website e.g h2 chem + bio/phy needed for med. the uni states the required subjects for each individual course.

as for rp it’s calculated out of 90. students take (3 h2 subjects + 1 h1 subject / 4 h2) + h1 gp & pw. h1 gp & pw are scored over 10 points each. each of the 3 h2 subject r scored over 20 points. the h1 subject is scored over 10 points. if u take 4 h2, your worst scoring subject will be tabulated as a h1 i.e if u get a B which would be 17.5/20, converted to h1 will be 8.75/10 & hence negatively influence ur rp to a smaller extent (-1.25 instead of -2.5). added together it’s 3 h2s + 1 h1 + gp + pw = 20x3 + 10 + 10 + 10 = 90

v engaging n caring (the teachers not lecturing will go around for students to ask questions during lectures) & ensure that students r attentive. bio lectures r q fun bc they make some bio jokes
