I tell u ah....10 years ago hor, i only sec 2.
I also keep fail my sec 2 maths, 38-40 marks overall.
My school don't allow me to take A maths in sec 3.
Last time i also duno how study maths, I take the txtbk read one
day before the exam then go exam. Come out fail i also duno
why.
Teacher keep write careless, see me after school, redo, attend
remedial class.
Teachers have to teach 40 students, cannot cater to one student
during class, they have to try very hard to explain over the chit
chatting, and hopefully all of the 40 students understand what they
are talking about, and hopefully all students can follow.

One way to start is to read about the syllabus here:
http://www.seab.gov.sg/content/syllabus/nlevel/2017Syllabus/4045_2017.pdf
Eg. Page 4, the paper write certain part have been underlined
and will only be tested on Section B of paper 2.
From the document, know the focus of the topics that are going
to be tested

Studying is like flirting with girls, doing only one type of
question is like flirting with the girl sitting next to you in
class.
Doing simple questions from textbook is like flirting with the girl
in another class who is very dao.
Doing TYS is like trying to flirt with girls from different class
with different personalities, while their boyfriend around them.
Thus you need to know what the girl(question) actually wants, be
careful of the boyfriend (tricks in questions), and what the girl
mean when she say something (question asking in different
manner).
The more girl you flirt with, the better you are with
girls.
The more maths question you do, the better you are with maths.
Yes, can practise by doing the Ten Years Series.
When practising TYS, try to do topic by topic, focus on one topic
at a time.
1. Revise the topic you want to attack first.
2. Try out simple examples from textbook/worksheet.
3. Try out some harder questions
4. Try out some TYS questions on the topic you revised
5. Write a summary on the topic you revised
6. Photocopy a set of your revision notes and keep the original
safe at home in a file. Put fire extinguisher in your room if
needed.
By doing so, your brain will automatically see how the topic evolve
from simple concept into simple example, and finally how they twist
the question into a more complex form. After which, the TYS will
show how they twist the complex form in many ways.
