I hope that with a new physics teacher this year I could get back on track again. Last year my teacher made me lost my interest in Phyiscs and as a result, I got A for first term and ended up with a U in promos Evil or Very Mad

anything is possible. But tough to get A1.

The best for GP in promos in my school last year was only a 65/100 sadly to say.

Any tips to score in GP?

Stop using terms like chao geng and nua.. It's detrimental to your english langauge.. Laughing

It's not as though I instantly got all four As from the very beginning.

If you want to know the progression of my grades over time, here it is:

Yr 1 June: CDEO

Yr 1 Promos: BBCD

Yr 2 March: BBCD

Yr 2 June: ABCC

Yr 2 Prelims: AABB

GCE A Levels: AAAA

My initial grades were nothing to be proud of, no? In fact, I got CEOO initially in Yr 1 June... they moderated the grades upwards later on. Heck, I failed every single Econs essay test in Yr 1. The lowest grade of every exam I took was in Econs.

There was totally no style in what I was doing - I employed a slow, all-out blunderbuss strategy. It was entirely pure brute force. I had to wait until Yr 2 June to get my first A - in Physics.

Like I said, you have two years to master everything. Do NOT leave everything to the last minute. Take it slow and steady.

I have to agree with that. The only way to improve on your English language is to use it properly as much as you can.

I once tutored a Secondary 1 kid, and his level of English was, to put it bluntly, atrocious. He kept using all sorts of 'geek speak' and SMS shorthands in his writings, forcing me to penalise him very heavily in his grammar and vocabulary.

When I asked him how many SMS messages he would send in an average month, he replied that he would send about 600-800 messages. In other words, that's 600-800 chances for him to write in poor SMS shorthand. It's small wonder that all that shorthand notation got into his writing.

Imagine the incredulous look on his face when I told him to start using proper English - down to correct punctuation - in his MSN and SMS messages.

He resisted doing so - and now he's paying the price with barely-passing grades in English.

Seriously, if you want to improve on your standard of English, a good start would be to use proper English in these forums.

d3sT1nY SG

You use perfect english in sms..? Laughing

Amazing.. I only TRY to use it here..

fudgester SG

I don't send a lot of SMS. According to my M1 bills, I send an average of 60-80 messages per month. The way I see it, if I'm going to have a lengthy phone discussion, I might as well just call the person. Laughing

The number of SMSes utilised goes down during the examination periods - I sent a grand total of 20 messages in the previous exam period.

Anyway, I don't claim to be using perfect English, for I am susceptible to making my own grammatical errors and typos. I just try to type in proper English whenever I can in my SMS and MSN messages.

striderz_o405 SG

I use it everywhere except forums Laughing

at least i am not like stooky who uses "i ish a boii"

sinicker SG

practise. anywhere, anytime, any place. Very Happy

gd4u SG

Hmm, i guess i read english papers regularly … hence i could do a decent codeswitch, although my grammar ain’t perfect.

fudgester SG

To be brutally frank, I didn't bother preparing for GP.

It's all about a lot of reading and a having a good amount of general knowledge. I credit my GP grades to my parents who inculcated in me the good habit of reading the newspapers every day.

They went on to subscribe to Time and Reader's Digest for me and my siblings, even when times were tough and I had to often make the stark choice between either eating lunch or buying lecture notes.

And please... read for the right reasons. Read because you enjoy reading. Do not read because you want to get that elusive A1 for GP.

hegu SG

Din study for my GP. I've given up on both my teacher and the subject. Prayed hard that my standard of english for 18 years could bring me as far as possible.

in the end, my result was not as bad as i tot, at least i know roughly where my true standard lies. Smile
