Guys, any tips on group studying? Just had one today and all of us watched movies since morning till now @@

By the way, anyone has an idea on which states that still remain having peperiksaan selaras negeri?

Do it with a small group, at a library, without electronics(no phone) and with people who actually want to study. I just spent the afternoon doing group study with 2 Form 4 Juniors on Form 4 SJ. It's pointless doing with my classmates, we end up being non-productive.

Avoid group studying with close friends because you will definitely end up wasting time. If possible try to study alone because you can concentrate better - put your electronics away.

But you did ask for group studying advice, so:

1. Make a NO ELECTRONICS rule. First one to touch electronics has to belanja lunch or memorise and explain one chapter of sejarah or something like that. SWITCH OFF WIFI.
2. Avoid studying with good friends. It's super tempting to chat and procrastinate with friends. Find people you don't really talk to, or super kiasu people because you will feel motivated (eventually) by their determination.
3. Study with someone younger than you, or someone who doesn't know the material as well as you do. Teaching is an excellent way to reinforce your own knowledge. Teach a junior or a friend who's weaker in academics.
4. FOCUS. You came here to study, not to chill or watch the clock move or check your phone. It may be tough at first, but after 10 minutes of silence I think most people will have focused on what they're doing.
5. Don't interrupt your friend while they're studying, especially if you're both studying different subjects. They will feel annoyed and lose focus, meanwhile you are likely not focusing yourself.
6. Study in a library, or a place that requires absolute silence. You'll be less tempted to talk.
7. If group studying is not working out for you, don't hesitate to stop. Ultimately, you need to do what's best for you, not what everyone else is doing.

Good luck!

Usually I wont group study, cause I have my own plans. But since there are people who need help with their studies, I joined them. But end up...... Haihs.

I prefer studying with girls, it is very effective.

More efficient then anything else

Not sure if you were being sarcastic or what , but 9A+ doesn't say that you screwed up , to me . By the way your username is familiar , you've been here ?

Wow all of you guys' results are amazing. Still struggling hard to get A+ but hope I can work hard on it.

Any scholarships available to apply now?

My school gave study leave from 30th september

Girls more chatty...

Haha I was being pretty serious. I meant that I screwed up my BM - could've done better!

Yeah I pop in from time to time!

What course are you planning to take? Cambridge A-levels? Edexcel A-levels? AUSMAT? SAM? Foundation in Science? Foundation in Arts? ADP?

Petronas and TNB scholarships need your actual SPM results as far as I know. I don't know where you plan on studying in the future, but Taylor's has a bursary that requires you to register first. INTI has a scholarship open but is closing very soon. Most colleges offer merit awards within 2 weeks of receiving your SPM results.

I am not planning to study overseas so I think I will take foundation in business.
I am living in Klang so KL area would be the best choice.

What course are you planning to take then?

I'm ugly, so

I'll be taking Cambridge A Levels in Sunway.


INTI has a scholarship for foundation in business If you've missed scholarship season for Sunway and HELP, they do offer merit awards after SPM so no problems there, really!

I see what you did there


Urgh, I can't seem to cramp all these Bio stuff into my head...

Cool! Sunway is one of my top options.
I just checked INTI and their scholarships is closing on 13th. Will try for that! What do you mean by merit awards?
