Which subjects do people score most and least for O lvls?

My guessing is; in descending order of most to least

Art

DNT/Home Econs/F&N

POA

Combine Science

E Maths

English

A maths

and least Combine Humans

for pure sciences

most Chem then Bio followed by Physics.

this is not mine personally but based on OTHER people's opinions eg from school and what people say.

Maths and Physics so hard to score meh :(

That doesn't sound very good...

gunner77 SG

<(0))>< SG

i don't see many ppl scoring sky high grades for english
at least from my current batch

and u left out Mother Tongue

hiphop2009 SG

different pple think differently.

i think mother tongue easiest to score leh.

cannot compare one.

deathmaster SG

depends on what the person is good at.

for the mathematically inclined, math, physic and chemistry, which involves alot of abstract concepts and calculations, will be their forte.

for the humanities inclined, the humanities and the languages may be their forte.

but imo, the most scorable subjects should be math and physics, the calculation-focused subjects. the marking is absolute, unlike in the humanities, where there may be grounds for contention in your essay.

mother tongue is good... y... u can take it twice... 1st try in like may... then 2nd shot with the rest of the subjects.

Master -_- SG

E Maths the easiest, hands down...

Hardest will be Music..from what i heard from my friend who took Music...

MyPillowTalks SG

Well, depends

FOr me the hardest to score will be English, chemistry

MT o level i got a B3

F&N wise, u need to have a coursework that is damn solid, cos when they benchmark urs against those from better schools, u wont get shifted down. The place to score for F&N will be the section A and B, mostly just memorise and vomit out. and applying wad u learn. The essay is sometimes hard, depends on ur luck

Combine humans is SS and elective....hard to say also

wonderamazement SG

for my batch... to score A1 for E-math... have to be at least 90/100

xXBlack_RebelXx SG

for my batch... to score A1 for E-math... have to be at least 90/100

You which year? Thats crazy. Are you sure?

onigiri SG

for my batch... to score A1 for E-math... have to be at least 90/100

yup. our teacher once told us that to score A1 for E-maths, your marks will have to be around 90. that got many of us worried at that time. but yea, most of the people in my class ended up with A1s. I think perhaps the 90 marks is gotten after moderation?

for my batch, I heard that our English was really bad. Highest was only around 60plus, I heard? So they have to moderate like crazy so that there was a sensible amount of A1 students.

SBS n SMRT SG

Most for me is BIO

Least is A Maths

Mine list is

BIO

GSS

HMT

bro, it boils down to the student. but if "Let the students attitude = constant" (=.
i would say easiest to score is

DNT/Home Econs/F&N - teacher guide student on project from the first day.
followed by

Combined subjects - content easier.
then,

Pure subjects.

but if look at real trend, pure students tend to score better. Cos a underlying factors, hmm like teachers teaching top 3 sci classes. Students very 'on'. Geezz miss those days in schools.

eagle SG

I'm really surprised by the number of pple who put maths and physics at the last... :(
Those were my favourite...

Hopefully ExamWorld can help more students :D

Eagle my favourite subjects include E/A maths and Combined Science especially Physics.

E maths, A maths and Physics are rightfully applied mathematics and considered to be part of the natural sciences. There is no room for BS, straight to the point. Easy to score if you understand the questions and apply the concepts. Very rigid.

codexboy SG

from what i observe both at A and O lvls, maths is the most common A subject, when someone has As 955 of the time tht subject is maths, maybe because singaporean students comes out as one of the tops in mathematics???
