yiha093 SG

core/pure geo or his beter?
if u were to compare.... Neutral

MyPillowTalks SG

depends, frmo wad i noe, history is similar to social studies, geography is sth different, but for me i take E literature

spadeTwo SG

history if u can write and remember long stories.
i suggest history, cuz easy 2 score, if you can memorize the textbook, u full marks le.

polarsnake SG

I find geog easier to score leh. History must cross reference here and there, somemore got L1 L2 L3 de...

jondizzle foshizzle SG

Neither is better than the other, it’s all about what you’re interested in.

spadeTwo SG

you is write alot text and understand the text can liao Mr. Green

relgn SG

i also prefer geo. History so chiam, must memorise like seow then must think also. Actually both also required to memorise. But geo no need to think, just puke out what u have inside your brain.

kenn3th SG

This year's geo is a new syllabus,
it has 3 structured questions one compulsary and two - select one.

basically a scorer, unlike history where u must depend on your luck and the difficulity of the source

ahTer SG

Go for geog.

Geog basically is memorizing work, where you study already can get good results. Hist is different, need to analyse sources and whatever, very easy to screw up.

udontknowme SG

mi like history!!!!!

just remember the huge main points and dates
and ownself spin story

Sienx SG

i took hist..cos i pwn in it LOLS...my geog for some reason cant stop failing...

and maybe cos i like writing essays and reading up on history

yiha093 SG

i dunoe lei
i choose
E lit
pure chem/phy
CS
thats all le.. Wink

actually i cant decide between lit or his cause both 73 LOL

EightTales SG

geog nowadays also going into LORMs marking. stands for Level Of Response Marking. but for my school, its only applicable to the 8-marks questions. for me, geog is easier to score.

kenizaton SG

hmm..it kinda depends on your sch's teacher..which sub have a better teacher..i'm taking pure geog and i got F9 for it..in fact,3 quarter of my class fail geog..and the teacher's happy that at least someone passed the exam..wth?? and on the other side,the class next to me (pure hist) had almost all distinction..and the teacher is still working dam hard on the class...giving remedials and so on..for my pure geog teacher leh?2 yrs have gone by and we only had like..2 remedials?pathetic..not gonna use the sub my 'o' anyway..so heck care bahx..

conclusion:choose the sub that u're interested in and make sure the teacher that's gonna teach u that sub doesnt slack..dont be like me k..lol..

note:there's not much tutors teaching humanities in singapore,therefore,i believe for humanities,the teacher is very important to the student Smile

yiha093 SG

well.. my eng teacher(shes a good one Wink )
said our lit teachers are of a good calibre...

wishboy SG

i prefer geog over hist, cos there is no future in hist... Very Happy jjk!
my hist cmi de, keep failing and failing, too much data for my brain with very low memory space
geog is quite ok, since it tests on drawing diagrams, and got the LORMS (Level Of Response Marking System, like L1 L2 L3 L4) question (structured de), 8 marks, quite easy to score for this Smile

kenizaton SG

oh..it's really up to u..if u're not interested in the sub,teacher good oso no use..hmm..really depends..anyway,hope that u can get into the class u want..all the best.

Ashearo SG

I took Pure History the last time. I like it cos its interesting. It will help you a lot in your future writings. If you are planning to go to JC, you will realise that you can use a lot of the content that you have learnt in Pure History. But your English has to be pretty good before you take History because there is a fair bit of text analysis to do.

coldzero SG

LOL?! History is not "Who is the one who started blah blah dynasty, ans: spadeTwo" then you get full marks. You need to analyse the question, then argue your point through. It's about skills, not based on pure memorising la.

Cool-gal SG

take geo lor.
its abt understanding of world n nature.
i regretted not understanding geo cos now i realised, it taught so much abt the earth we are living on.
history more on memorising, esp the year n date of the happened event.
i dun noe how is the syllabus now.
TS, which u prefer??
