SPM Studying Tips

[Mirianchoo]

PhePhe, don't worry too much; there is still time to study and prepare. 43 days is a lot of time, and you can have 4 days per subject to prepare.

I think that the trial papers are good practice, but if you still want extra practice, try past year SPM papers- my year's Biology paper (SPM 2007) was quite tough; you could try that one. This can get you familiarised with the actual questions set in the SPM exam.

It's good to do practice questions, but remember to read your textbooks thoroughly too. If you read your textbooks well and do lots of trial papers and past year papers, you should be fine. SPM Biology is not that hard to score an A+ in, so give it your best shot! Aim for A+!

hi all guys..=)..this year(2011) im going to sit for SPM...im really nervous..i worry that i can get the target that i wan to score..in form 4,my bio,physic and chemistry sub just score 55++..and after i revised form 4 books..i just realise i forgot almost 70%..=(..i worry that i cant revise back form 4 chapters before SPM..and now..really lots of homeworks..T.T
anyone give some advice for me?thx..=)

You still have months to go. Try start making short notes. Form small discussion group among your friends. Get a few real good reference books. Make good use of your teachers. And finally, believe in yourself.

Chemistry is a bit different but the questions just repeat over and over again.

Biology... speechless. My weakest subject to date but with practices, I got A+ as well. I never imagined myself getting A+ for Biology.

physics i loved it all the while during last year. but when the results came out.. raaaagggrrrr i got A only (i still feel sabotaged) chemistry was nice. do ur revisions and practices sure you'll get the A+ , my bio was a genuine failure.. 5 months b4 the exam my school assesment returned me a 40/100 i tot gone gone gone... in the end, spm A.. but my main grunt is still physics

erm..my advice..though im not that bright myself, but hope this help!

chemistry is quite easy if you understand the basic of things...i think it help to LOVE the subject, that way you wont be too bored studying...i had a GREAT chemistry teacher, and she's the reason why i ADORE chemistry..too bad i only got A-....haih........Sorry sensei....

and BIOLOGY.... nothing to say lar....i think just study hard, do your best and let the marking graph do the rest.. most probably the marking graph would be low since BIOLOGY isnt the 'easiest' subject ever.. I said most probably, so you still need to study to get great marks!

Same here.. physics... A only. T.T

Am an SPM 2011 candidate in science stream, I actually quite like Biology over Chemistry and Physics. I find it very interesting, just that my Biology teacher's marking is unbelievably strict, so it's pretty frustrating when you get 0 marks because you "used the wrong term".

I'm a little averse to Chemistry and Physics because I hate doing calculations (you can imagine that I'm suffering my way through Add. Math).

I think I'm doing okay, but I hate that the no matter how much effort I put in I can't seem to do well in Add. Math >_< It's a real spirit-damper. I always pass, but I've never managed any higher than a C+

Same here, but i manage to gain an A+ for A.Math in SPM.. so dont let yourself to feel down..
For me, A.Math required you to know the basic, dont think that you HATE it since if your mentality is telling you that you hate a certain subject, then it will keep you from understand (most cases). Practice is also necessary in A.Math. Dont study like h*ll one day and leave it for a month. Most probably you gonna forget everything..try to do a least one practice a day, everyday.. ^^ good luck!

Tuition is always a good idea when it comes to add maths.
