Hi girls,
Long time no post. It was a very fun adventure in UK. I fulfilled my childhood dreams of going to London to see Big Ben, Tower Bridge and Buckingham Palace. It has been very exciting and there were lots to see. It did 'snow' a little-in between snow and ie at the Lake District. It had been a very cool experience and yes, this trip is so worth going! I feel safe to say that this trip was very meaningful and obviously fun! If u wanna look at the photos of the trip to England u can go to facebook to see, I'm still trying to upload more.
As you know O levels are next year I read a very interesting article that may benefit us. I think we could try this method.
1. Set a Goal to achieve for GCE O Levels. How many points are you aiming for? Since this is June, you may have 3 months to go before the Prelims. Your Goal Statement could be "To achieve 6 points for L1R4 by end of September for my GCE O Levels Prelim Exams".
2. Set up a Time Table. You should have stopped most of your CCAs already. Now focus in preparing for Exams. In your study time table, you should focus on subject revision, practice mathematics, group study, working on past years' exam questions.
3. Form a small group of about 4. Ensure the other 3 friends in your group have the same goal to achieve good results for their GCE O Levels also. Locate the least distractive place to study. Could be in a friend's home, some country clubs, a quiet McDonald restaurant.... or even in the church you attend.
4. Distribute Past Exams questions to each member of your group. Give each time to research and produce the best answer. Then get the person to teach and share the answer he is responsible for. The most powerful thing to do is to teach others, you learn best. Get your friends to question why he answer it that way. The more questions you throw in to clarify your friend's answer, all of you will learn. If a similar question appear for the Final GCE Exam, you are bound to score well with the best answer.
5. Find time to relax. Do not panic and get stressed up even if you have a number of subjects you are very weak in.
6. Help your group members. If you find that he is rather weak in a certain subject, help him. Spend more time with him in that subject, the more you spend time to teach and explain, not only does he gain better understanding, but you become an expert in that subject also.
7. Start revising those subjects which the group find the weakest in. Find out who is expert in which subject, and get him to be the leader in that subject. If all are weak in a certain subject, you can approach your subject teacher together to get help..... or look for a good tuition teacher to assist your group. You pay less if it is group tuition.
8. Make sure that you eat healthily and drink a lot of water or juices. Do not just consume fries and hamburgers and coke.... this is not healthy at all.
9. Spend time with your parents. Keep them updated on what you and your friends are doing. They are the ones who worry most about how you are doing in school. If you are honest with them, they may want to help you find a good spot to study. They will even want to participate in helping you as your tutor, your driver, your runner to help buy you food and drinks. Please work with your parents... this is the best time to allow them to bond with you.
I know it's very wordy but I feel that maybe it does work! What do u think?
