After choosing my subjects, the first thing I wanted to do was to get very intimately acquainted with my syllabus. It’s all available online, on the Singapore Examinations and Assessment board (SEAB). Here’s mine:
- H2 ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND LINGUISTICS
- H2 LITERATURE IN ENGLISH
- H2 ECONOMICS
- H2 MATHEMATICS
- H1 GENERAL PAPER
other posts:
- private candidate
- h2 lit
- youtube lectures
- useful links
- standard deviation
- a beautiful morning
- filling new meters — notable that even back in 2012 i was writing about how a state of flow feels like artful collaboration between different parts. thinking also about how in chess, pieces protecting each other is a kind of good reply game
Visa, get the marks first, then talk about how you’re studying for it. It’ll carry more weight then.
There’s no point sharing your strategies if you get a C for it. But there is a point to it if you get an A (By point, I simply mean that everyone is judged on the same marking scheme, however faulty it is, and those interested in your strategies would invariably be aiming for the same mark along the same uni-dimensional scale). Right now you are just being damn ‘extra’ because, seriously, nobody cares until you’ve proven that what you are sharing really works. I have faith that it will work, but I’m just objectively pointing out the superfluousness (not to mention, a slight case of chicken hatching early) of doing this now. I never posted a single exam tip / strategy / advice until after I knew what I was saying was applicable to others.
Not trying to bag you out. Just pointing out stuff in case you’re still running on the (worthy) high of meeting PM. 😉
true; rephrased! thanks!
P.S Good choice of subjects, honing in on what you are more confident in. Probably Maths will be the toughest
I stumbled upon your blog and have been reading some of the interesting political articles your wrote. I am glad you realised your past weaknesses and have been working on your dreams and goals. Don’t give up and keep trying; Unleash the real potential in you!
Mr Lim, your ex-teacher
Hi Mr. Lim! It’s so cool to hear from you! I was always a fan. 🙂 I hope you’re well!
