Agricultural Land in Fuzhou, China
Two days ago, i received an email update from one of my Sec 4 (2010) Chemistry Student from NanHua High School which had went to Fuzhou, China for close to a month, after completing his GCE O-Level Examinations.
In the email, he would like me to blog about his suggestion to all students that are taking the GCE O-Level Examination in Year 2011 to start their preparation early, as well as those in Sec 3.
From his personal experience, he felt that Sec 4 passed too fast with time spent on CCAs and the rush to complete syllabus by the school. Revision time before the exam is really too short, stressful and there was not enough quality time with friends due to the hectic nature of revision.
“It’s only after the examination, do I really understand that the time for preparation is really short. I hope that you could pass this to other pupils who are preparing for the examination that hey should grasp every second of secondary four year” – extracted from his email
This is in line with what i always advised parents and students – that is to start their revision early so that it is consistent and they will not be so stressful before the GCE O-Level Exams. Consistency = Confidence!
For GCE O-Level Chemistry Exams, students will be tested on all the 20+ topics that i have mentioned in the earlier post. As such, it is important for students to understand all the key essential concepts learned in Sec 3 before they progress in Sec 4. This is because in Sec 4, students have very little chance (truly time constraint) to do proper revision if they start their preparation late.
Now, if you agree with my student’s advice and willing to work hard together with me, i would like to invite you to join our Ultimate Leap Programme – our weekly regular classes – that aims to build in consistency in the student’s progress. Topics to be covered for Sec 3 and 4 Classes can be found in the earlier post. Classes will start in mid-Jan.
Happy 2011 and look forward to meeting you! =)
