Probably the worse day in my life

Thanks for the help, yeah I don't usually hang out in groups to study and I don't listen to music while studying as it will only distract me. I just need a s...

Hmmmm, can you tell me how you study? I have been through your situation through O levels. So the feeling of being disappointed in sec3 and O level has a really really huge gap. As of now, if you cannot limit yourself to the hours of playing computer games, then keep it away permemnantly. Or ask your parents to help you. If your school is not strict in the system of promoting to sec4, talk to your form teacher, HOD, whatever it takes to make you got to sec4. For my school it was signing contracts. So maybe this might help you. Get help don't study independently. As if you have problem just ask! And don't ever listen to your teacher if they say the textbook is useless! It is never useless. Some has the information you one, and if it doesn't have get a guide book or meet the teacher, or friends who score As. This is what i am doing for my O level science(retake). I only can hlpe you in your maths, the rest i sucks at it. Hope this will enlighten you a little. =]

Gedanken SG

and the concepts seems so easy and I can understand them, but when the questions come out, bang I slip into a state of depression

Assuming that "when the questions come out" means the point at which you first see the exam questions, I'd query if it's depression or panic you experience. Could it simply be a case of you knowing your material but letting your anxiety get the better of you at crunch time? If that's the case, don't go beating yourself up over a simple lack of exam technique.

The amount of time you put into studying is at best peripheral to your chances of success - it's less a case of your mileage than of where you've been. Do you simply know your material, or do you actually understand it?

As for the ego issue, well, that's the easy part. People don't prove themselves during the good times - it's when the proverbial hits the fan that you show what you're made of, so the only remaining question is whether you choose to take this on as a challenge or run from it as a threat.

hey, dont fret. i did badly in sec 3 and most of my subjects for o levels.

i passed only 4 subjects for o levels, flunk 3. i felt very shitty on the day i got my results.

my friends were all celebrating, while i was thinking what to do next.

it was also that time when i realised who my true friends were. there were some who didnt want to be in contact with me because they were going to jc and i was not. however, the ones who stuck by me motivated me to continue on, so i retook my o levels. this time, i did well and scored As.

I took a diploma because i knew what i want to do and dont want to waste time with useless subjects. i found the course i like and did really well in it and now i am studying in an ivy league university.

dont be upset about your scores now. its not too late to work hard!!

Ah thanks for the tips. Well basically I do understand what the concepts and formula is, but when the questions pop out they become a totally different thing in my mind suddenly. Formulas run into my head and I don't know which to use, eventually resulting in a mental block and affecting my other questions.

Anthiadon SG

Maybe u can consider getting tuition for ur weaker subjects

It would become a burden on my parents' already tight budget.

dkcx SG

It seems to show u lack practice since practice should give u more confidence doing questions and knowing the correct formulas to use etc.

If u can't afford tuition, feel free to post any questions u have in the homework forum and people there will do their best to help u with ur studies.

Anthiadon SG

Anyway thanks for the help guys, I guess I'll try to build up the ego again over the holidays..and I've thrown the disc in the storeroom so..

Yoz yoz yoz.... I was in your shoes before. Last time, there was this game called final fantasy. Fucking hell, this game is fucking addictive, and the whole class (guys only, not the girls) played this game. Everyone was playing, trying to discover secrets etc. It was so fucking addictive that I spent hours and hours from morning to night NON-STOP playing. Skipping meals, not wanting to bath etc just to play that damn game.

My results suffered, but I did not fail. I just did badly. Then I woke up, because my results were not satisfactory.

So, here is my method.. how to stop game addiction. If the game is a console like PSP, PS2, PS3 etc, you bring the console to your cousin house, and let it stay there for the entire year. Dont ever bring it back until you finish your exams. The initial days are painful, but you will get used to it.

If its PC, then you uninstall the game and the disc, you just throw it away, or bring to cousin house again.

You must have determination never to touch these games again. After awhile when the addiction died off, you will not want to touch them again. Just like now I got PS2 just few metres away from me, I have never touch it for the past 3 months.

You can do it. Next year is O levels, just kick the game addiction and study like a dull jack!!

Seems like we are both similar in terms of our weakness and age and also we are taking the O lvls next year. You mind meeting up in holidays to work on our weaker subjects ? It can also help you not to take any unnecessary tuition that would add up to your parents' burden.

U seem damn interested to meet ppl who u meet online and they are people who u hardly know at all.

Don't u all learn any cyber security these days?

I trust everyone knows what is right and wrong in AA, don't think that I'm a pervert or some shitty fags. I just feel that TS is in the same scenario with me and we both want to change.

I'm not saying u are a pervert etc but in a way for ur own safety of meeting strangers.

Of cos most people are hopefully genuine etc but there are people who tell very convincing stories etc only to be discovered later its all a lie etc. There should always be a level of doubt in anything u read from online and this is something i sort of learnt it the hard way.

Anyone who reads this thread will be the worst day in their life

Like I said earlier, everyone knows what they are doing except some jokers like LowHead. If we were to agree to meet and study together, it would most likely be in the library where there are people around.

I never said abt TS but since u are new, just a warning for u cos there are a decent number of fraud cases in AA besides our famous clone
