And there are 2 papers left...

Dear all,

Hang in there. You are coming to the end of the examinations. You can do it! There is Science Supplementary lessons tomorrow from 1.30pm - 3.30pm. I will extend by another 1 hour to 4.30pm for those of you who need the extra lesson.

I just want to make a short note for all of you now. You may find that I am harsher these few weeks but it is definitely necessary to help you all be disciplined. I am still disappointed to find a handful of you forgetting to bring your revision papers when you know that you need to go through the papers and these papers were the SA2 papers for last year so you have a rough idea of how the standard is. Some questions may come out again or similar questions at least.

As I was marking through some of your revision papers, I still have people who handed up blank answers and this is simply not right, considering that you have come to the end of the year and this examinations truly matter! It constitutes most of your overall marks.

Of course, it is only a small portion of you so I am glad to see that most of you do want to put in effort. You have 2 more papers so make the most of it. I know that you are nervous and some of you really want to do well badly so continue to keep the faith and hard work. I am sure you can do it.

Notes for Science:


  • Identify the topic of each question first.
  • Highlight the key words (Not all of you highlighted key words for your English. Thank you to those who highlighted!)
  • Identify the concepts (I will complete the revision of concepts and processes tomorrow)
  • Use key words please!!! Go through the list of vocabulary words in your notes for each chapter. 
  • Note your spelling!
  • Target for MCQ (40 and above upon 60, so you can only afford to have 10 questions wrong.)
  • Target for Open-ended (20 and above upon 40, so make sure you pass the paper.)
See you all tomorrow,
Sincerely,
Mr Nelson Ong
