Hey all
So its school all over again after the end of years. For those who didn’t get the results they wanted or are upset with their results, its okay! It’s just the end of years. Good news is that none of us retained, all of us got promoted to sec 4. So we still have one more year to pull up our socks and work hard to achieve what we want. The big goal is the “O” levels so there’s still alot of time until the big thing. We just have to use that time wisely, learn from our failures and stay motivated and united as a class. If you are stressed or need help, you can always get help from anyone in the class. 3a’s a fun-loving and exceptionally talented class so we should use that same energy when we study too!
For me, I just belief that if we work hard and have determination and strong willpower, we can achieve anything. I had my taste of failures too and there was a period where I didn’t do so well for my exams and all. I think its all about taking action and sticking with it.
The real secret to success is you. Each of us have our own preferences, likes, dislikes and style. If we can develop studying to fit to each of our unique style and create our own method of studying, it’s gonna bring us the best results. Studying is not boring if you pair it up with the things that you like. I like drama, so my studying can be a little bit more dramatic. Doing homework and reading the textbook are big boosters. Homework not only helps increase your exposure to questions, it also develops your exam skills and allows you to plan your time well for the papers because you know how much time you take to complete a set of question. Reading the textbook is the best way to understand what your teacher is talking about. And its better because you are clear about the doubts you have from a certain topic and you can ask the teacher readily. Setting goals to motivate yourself is good too. CCAs are an awesome way to distress, relax and feel happy if you can’t cope with life. However, I think the most important thing is attitude! I think if all adopt a positive attitude towards learning, towards our teachers, towards our failures, success will come to us naturally. Belief in yourself and your abilities and have the determination and motivation to do well. Within the 8+ months of preparation for O levels, i’m sure you’ll succeed!
The year is almost coming to a close. So good luck everyone for next year! Have fun and enjoy yourselves. And may all of us pass with flying colours for the “O”s! Lets continue to stay united and bonded together as a class as we move on to next year. Remember to do your homework during the hols!
The following is the schedule for the checking of exam scipts:
7.40 - 8.55: EL

This post is specifically for the Hist Elective students, but its talking about Social Studies in general. It’s for those who did not turn up for Ms Wee’s remedial lessons- notes from her lessons.Here are the main details:
Exam Format:
In general:
Look at your SS textbook content page. There you will find the outline of the chapters there. Notice the bolded, headlined words in the blue boxes. (Singapore as a nation in the world, Understanding governance etc), these are called themes. Each theme can contain more than 1 chapter. Note: For EOYs and O levels, chapter one is non-examinable.
The Chapters tested for SS EOYs are Chapter 2,3(up to healthcare in Singapore only), 4 and 5.
For EOYS
There will be 2 broad parts to the paper.
Section A: Source-based Question (SBQ)
Section B: Structured-Essay Question (SEQ)
SBQ
There will be one question for SBQ in four sub questions: a,b,c and d. All questions are compulsory! The SBQ will involve only 1 chapter. If a chapter is tested for SBQ, it will not be tested for SEQ. (E.g: If the question for SBQ is russia, russia will not be tested for SEQ) For SS, background information will be given where necessary. Note: No background info for History.
SEQ
There will be 2 sets of questions, consisting of 2 sub-questions: a or b. ANSWER ONLY ONE QUESTION SET. Note: You must answer the questions as a set. In other words, lets say there is:
Q1a,b.
Q2,a,b.
You CANNOT answer question 1a, then question 2b. You MUST answer question 1 a and b OR question 2a and b.
Each set of questions will be set on a particular theme. The theme for SEQ may be the same as SBQ, but not the topic/case study itself. Each SEQ question set is on a different theme. AS each theme consists of different chapters, Q (a) and (b) may be testing different or the same chapters, so long as they are of the same theme.
E.g:
Answer one question
1. Conflict and Harmony in Multi-ethnic societies
(a) How far was the Sinhalese-Tamil conflict due to the resettlement policy? Explain your answer.
(b) “Divided loyalties was the most important factor in causing the conflict in Northern Ireland”. How far do you agree with this statement?
2. Understanding Governance
(a) How far was the control of traffic flow in Singapore achieved by the Vehicle Quota System?
(b) “Leadership is key is the most important principle of governance”. How far do you agree?
The total mark for the paper is 50mark.
Each section is 25marks.
O Levels
The format is the same, except that for SEQ, there will be 3 question sets. Choose 1.
History
Exactly the same. 2 sets of SEQ for EOYS and 3 sets of SEQ for O levels. SBQ exactly the same.
Revision Summary (SEQ)
The following is a summary of what are the types of questions that can come out for SEQ.
Chapter 2
Principles of Governance: Which factor is the most important?
Managing traffic flow: Which factor is most effective?
Managing population growth: Which factor is most effective? Can either be testing you on policies to slow down population growth or promote it. Note: Study your time periods.
Chapter 3
*For EOYs, only healthcare in Singapore is tested.
Policies to meet healthcare needs: How do these factors help meet these healthcare needs?
Chapter 4
Sri-lanka
-Causes: Which contributed to the conflict the most?
-Impact: Which is the most serious?
Northern Ireland
-Exactly same as Sri Lanka
Chapter 5
Challenges Singapore faces: Which factor threatens Singapore the most? (Testing on impact)
Strategies: Which factor is most effective?
Managing diversity: Which is the most important?
Advice From Ms Wee:
When you study,
-prepare the basic explainations you’ll need for each factor. Explainations will change according to the question demands but its important to get the basic ex for each factor.
-Do some background thinking. Rank each factor for a particular topic. Which is the most important factor and why? Rank them in order from the most important to the least.
