Since its like schooling period, shall share how i used to study... and how i slowly got DEGRADED over the few years :) not trying to brag my results, just showing how badly grades went lower and lower.
Sec 1
To get TOP in class,
1. Work extremely hard
2. Cut down on computer time, computer is the CULPRIT for pulling down your grades (most of the time)
3. Get extra help (better than not knowing anything)
4. Do revision
5. Do homework (test/exams questions are similar to wad u do)
6. Sleep early, wake up early (that's for me, cause i hate burning the midnight oil
7. Mug by YOURSELF, friends are often distractions, unless they are like those super HARDCORE PERVERTed Muggers
Best record in my entire school life:
" 2nd in class in Sec 1 (sem 1) ranked 11th in Sch and 1st in Sem 2, ranked 18th in sch"
Cause everyweek i only have 2hrs to use the com, i rmb i used to play maple during the 2hrs to relieve stress... and its like 3pm -5pm ONLY on saturdays after tuition!
Don't ask me how i manage to survive with 2hrs/week computer time, cause i'm not sure myself!
Sec1 used to be BUSY BUSY for me, cos i joined sports for CCA, so i end up going home at 6plus 7plus for 3-4days per week... i remembered i used to stay up on Mondays till 11pm to finish my EL weekly homework...
Sec2:
To Get Top 10 in class:
1. Just study when you're suppose to
2. do homework
3. adequate revision
4. tuition (might help)
I changed my CCA to Infocomm (IT stuff), so its slackier! slackier got pros and cons
Pros: You get more time to be at home (keke also on the COM)
Cons: Self Discipline fades away...
Best Grade: EL Lit - 50/100 so lucky
So i got 5th (sem1) and 6th (sem2) ranked 46th in sch for both sems.
sec 3 - totally a killa... ( don't follow me... i'm such a slacker )
Failed amaths like Whatdafook! if not is always borderline pass... was like depressing luhs... though in school i always put the HAPPY FACE...
English also got degraded to C from B sadness x1000000000
Lots of tests... like almost everyweek have lor... *i miss having tests*
SO i SUCKED, got 22th in class SEM1, 38th for level, 21st in class SEM2, 34th for level
--- Fast Forward ---
Sec 4 - HELL
i remembered i cried for the 1st few days of school... i totally felt the pressure... felt so lost... so much people has high hopes on me: family, friends, relatives, teachers and so on...
Teacher kept drilling us... for O's of cos.. almost everyweek i have geog test which i looked forward to it, cos i studied...
Detested Social Studies Test.... like totally.. esp SBQ
Not much maths test surprisingly, but lots of maths homework... maths everyday! Love the lessons...
Pure sciences too.... was a bore sometimes... cos i can hardly stay awake and hardly open my eyes...
Mugged for prelims, totally turned mad doing amaths... cos i was scared of getting a C for O's
Night Classes before O's... missed the times the most, stayed back did TYS.. dinner and TYS again...
MUGGED for O's...
Wake Up at 8.30am EVERYDAY, study till 11.00pm latest 11.30pm... thats my limit, so getting the grades i received is not too bad, cos i only studied till 11.30pm... unlike others who can burn midnight oil...
I failed EL for SEM1, so suay... 49/100, but still ^^ 20th in class, 36th for level...
O's results, u guys saw already...
MORAL OF STORY: work hard or you will regret when u see your o's results!
Keep this in mind: Choose the school, don't let the school choose you!
Good Luck to ALL :) I do recommend DPA, but DPA sometimes BIAS... esp for some courses...
highlight to read: high chances of getting accepted by dpa is to have pure sciences and double maths, best if have 3 sciences... its like 70% of the battle won... 30% depends on ur performance during interview/test for dpa :)
