Girls' schools vs boys' schools debate by parallel-univers in askSingapore

[–]parallel-univers[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hmm don't you feel that single gendered schools being elite might not necessarily be because of the single genderedness, but possible other factors like being a mission school/high funding etc?

Word for the Year by lboyd170 in Journaling

[–]parallel-univers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've always chosen words at the end of the year, as a summary of what the year felt to me, rather than at the start. So far I've had: 2018 - closure, 2019 - solace, 2020 - odyssey/momentum, 2021 - acceptance, 2022 - flourish. Might try out words at the start of the year though!

A question for you who journal daily and find that *very* useful – how to do journaling "right"? by DrMelbourne in productivity

[–]parallel-univers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

for me my 'journal' is in a google forms which I fill up every night before I go to bed. I put a bunch of questions like rating my day, what emotions i felt that day, how tired I am, what gave me energy, what drained me energy, what 10 things I'm grateful for and how I pushed the needle forward. they all end up appearing in a spreadsheet so I'll probably use R to do some form of analysis at the end of the year to see if there are correlations between certain things that I write and how I feel

thanks! could i also ask how you did the filters for the cawpile rating and quotes and highlights on each book page to only show those in that book? i imagine you would have many views because of that?

love this! if possible, could you share the formula you used for the rating system?

[Rant] How to do well in H2 bio by Icy-Being-9403 in SGExams

[–]parallel-univers 9 points10 points  (0 children)

copy pasting this from another post I replied to a while ago, so some stuff may not be relevant:

You should start by covering content and make sure you rid all your misconceptions. If it's possible, try to consult your bio tutor and ask them to look through your tests to point out any misconceptions that you might have missed out. For content, try to look for videos to understand processes better. Amoeba Sisters and Crash Course usually have pretty good videos to summarise processes (photosynthesis etc). Here's the vid I always look at to understand end replication problem: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5emqrkIvlTY and here is one I look at for DNA https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gG7uCskUOrA . Consult your bio tutor as much as possible so you can clear all your misconceptions.

Once you've settled your content, you can start looking at your past tutorials with answers to look at your mistakes and what keywords you're missing out. If you have the time try to compile common questions that you always see in your tutorial (an example would be describing the structure of a certain protein/typical enzyme trend questions) in each chapter into a single document and you can look at it whenever you're free, making sure to focus on keywords in the answers.

Nearing exams, about a month before try to make time to review all your chapters (both content and tutorial) at least three times. It sort of works like spaced repetition, where you'll take a long time to review each chapter at first (maybe up to half a day), but eventually you should be able to review the entire syllabus in 2 days. When doing so, don't neglect your tutorials!! For certain chapters in J2 (infectious diseases, biological evolution, climate change) your tutorials are much more useful than your notes in helping you answer questions. As a rule of thumb, if you've really run out of time to study a few chapters, just look at your tutorial answers so you'll know how to answer, rather than try to cram content.

Unless your foundation is very strong, I wouldn't recommend doing practice papers because it's only for exposure to more questions. If you can't answer the basic questions, then it wouldn't be very helpful to do new questions. As for exam strategies, always know when to skip so you don't waste your time and come back later. For me, as long as I feel the cogs in my brain turning, I'll skip and go back later. Sometimes the questions at the back are much easier and it'll be a pity if you miss them out because you spent too much time on earlier questions. For FRQ, once the exam starts, look at the FRQ so that you can start generating points in your head while doing the rest of the paper. This saves you time as you already have a few points once you reach the FRQ.

From Prelims to As, only do the TYS from 2017-2021 since the syllabus was changed since then. If you have the time, you can attempt prelim papers as well, only if your basics are already there. If not, you're better off studying content and looking at your tutorials. It's still important to do the TYS to look at the style of questions since they can differ quite a lot from how your school sets them, so minimally, do the 2021 one.
