How to Beat Examination Stress – O Levels Chemistry etc

Picture 1: Can you see the 10 faces in the tree ???

This period is the time when local students are relinquished from their Co-Curricular Activities (CCA) and Singapore Youth Festivals (SYF) 2009. It is the time where you really see students “mugging” (as what my chemistry students says) for their Mid-Year Examinations.

I was surfing my Facebook account talking to friends where i realised many students are feeling the stress and strain as they go into this mid-year examinations. You will see the subject titles from their account: “Stomache-pain with E-Maths”, “I hate O-Levels Chemistry”, “Chemistry is so boring”, “I don’t understand what my Chemistry teacher in teaching all this while”, “A-Math is killing me, i should have dropped it earlier”. “how i wish mid-year is over now”, etc.

Now, examinations is always stressful, and it is especially so when the students have not been following understanding what the school is teaching for last 14 months (for Sec 4 students). What i would suggest is to DO YOUR BEST for your Mid-Year Examinations, and when June Holidays comes, get help to revise intensively for what you don’t understand.

I am always an advocate for “Study Hard; Play Hard” as well as “Work Hard; Play Hard”. Although there is not much time for you to “play”, i would still suggest that you take little “mental-breaks” in between your revision. This is even more so, when you “Celebrate the Little Success” of finishing up a topic / chapter..go read papers/eat ice-cream, etc for 20mins, and come back to your books/notes again. This gives you more reason for you to study harder.

Below are more funny pictures given by my friend, i would like to share it with you:

Picture 2: Can you see the Baby ???

Picture 3: Can you see the Kissing Couple ???

Picture 4: Can you see the 3 Women ???

Picture 5: What do you see?

PS: Leave me a reply below. I would love to hear from you.
