If you said that you've flopped in Add Maths, then its kinda forgivable, but since you asked what will happen if you fail in Maths, then I guess.........

Hehehe... kinda remind me of myself when I totally flopped in this mid-term. Anyway, GAMBATEH

Instead of just blindly memorize the sub-topic and coerce yourself to do it, why don't you try a way or two on how to fathom it. Try to refresh your memory by reading thoroughly for the first or second times. After that, make a simple short notes on the guidelines regarding the sub-topic, for example: identify various cations/anions by carrying out several confirmatory tests. Perhaps you can even underline/highlight the vital notes only to prevent yourself from drowning into several miscellaneous information that are irrelevant/unneeded that might muddle you, I often do that and it works just fine for me. On the side notes, if you still can't mentally grasp the information that you want to know or if you're in a quagmire, you should seek aid from friend or teachers and as well as surf the Net. There are lots of lots of tutoring videos(KhanAcademy,Edunation Malaysia,Msia Free Education) in the Net that you can find that will bring endless avail to you, just use it wisely and everything will be great. Learning can be really fun if you're able to twist your learning techniques.

Shouldn't it be 144? Anyways, I reckon we don't really have much time left until the ultimate battle comes. In reality, we're about 140+ days until SPM, but technically, we don't really spend each and every second to revise, and not to mention about the holidays that might distract us(it irk me to no end when I often procrastinate due to countless distractions), unless you're able to wisely use the precious time to do revision. PS: Try to remind myself that the day until SPM is really nigh

I feel sorry for you Good thing I have a proficient add maths teacher that teaches me, though on some occasions her over-abundant homework does wear me out

Hi guyz By the way, just wanna let you know that I came across this YouTube channel,myhometuition when I was searching for a video that can aid my Physics (especially Form 4 Topic 5 Lights,which gives me a total headache). I found it to be very decent, albeit the fact that it only supplies 3 tutoring subjects,that is Physics, Chemistry and Additional Mathematics and the fact that each subjects doesn't really cover the whole topics which kinda ticks me off ,lolz. In a nutshell, if you reckon you have trouble specifically in certain subtopics such as the Form 4 Topic 5 Lights, you can check it out and see what you can get. It never hurts to try finding out something new as well as learn a few tricks on your way towards the Grand Battle, which is roughly about 141 days and 7 hours away......

Wow, I gotta admit,that was an amazing feat Just to let you know, so far, I'm only able to cover-up and finish the entire syllabus of Chemistry and the BM Komsas(Form 4 and 5 including novel) during the mid-term holidays, by the way my chemistry school teacher is really really slow as she only manages to cover until topic 3 (changing of Fe(III) ions to Fe(II)ions) As for Biology,I've recently managed to finish the entire Form 5 syllabus except for chapter 4 (which really bugs me). Haha, for some reason, I jokingly name my revision session during the school recent holidays just for fun, lol . It kinda reminds me the Gerak Gempur that I had during my younger days in the PMR, but I instead named it Project Black Knife,hahaha Well, I'm still not done yet as I've only read all the notes and cling on the tutoring videos only, and haven't done a single question. I'm really busy with all of the growing pile of schoolwork for now, but I'm gonna promise myself to keep spamming SPM past year questions when I'm vacant.
Lolz, I guess she has tons of tons of anger management issues . Anyways, let me tell you the major flaw of my school teaching methods in last year of my Form 4. You see,when my school was about to enter the final semester of examination, several of my teachers either skipped certain syllabus or teach too fast, and not to mention they did left out all the vital points included in the Form 4 topics. Well, when I state these awful flaws, it doesn't mean that I solely put all the blame on the teachers, I did several err as well. When it comes to exam,be it mid-term or final year, I will tend to be all-nighters,for the sake of covering up the syllabus that was gonna come out in the exam in order to achieve '' good results''. But since this year I'm gonna take the SPM examination, I can't really afford to do the same mistakes again. That's why I coerce myself to aim to finish the syllabus of at least one subjects, which I manage to do so far, but it wasn't adequate for me as I reckon my knowledge is restricted to SPM only. So, I surf on the net to find topics that are ''out-of-syllabus'' which really dazzled me and learn it little by little. Frankly, it was very hard and struggling as I lack a lot of resource, but, I gotta admit, I kinda fond of exploring few Chemistry-related topics that are new to me and embark on them(Hess's Law, Enthalpy..). So @Nadzlee, try to find one way or another on how to solve your problems, even if your teacher really does irk you to no end, it doesn't really mean the end for your Add Maths . Remember that you don't need to cling on your fully-detest Add Maths teacher to ace in the test, as there are lots of lucrative education info in the Net that you can fully exploit on, or perhaps you can try your own orthodox ways to ameliorate your Add Maths

More importantly, we're compelled to cram to finish the whole syllabus just before the SPM trials which is roughly about 2 months away, darn, my tense is culminating

Errm, forgive me for my ignorance, but can you please enlighten me on why in the world would SPM is tantamount to taufu???

Fast? I don't think so, I've heard rumors spreading around by my class monitor that says that Penang Free School has completed the whole Add Maths syllabus. And another more insane thing is that my friend from a SBP says that he's going to cover up the whole Physic syllabus anytime now. Darn, I'm a slowpoke....

Ooo... Thanks for the explanation.

I concur with you of the fact that History is by far the most boring subjects that we're compelled to learn, though I often ace it.

Thanks for your advises, really appreciate it especially regarding the LAST MINUTE flaw which I recently did in my mid-term, dayum

Right now , there are only 2 things that're gonna be your main concern, CCA marks or your health difficulties that you might face when you attend the camp. Which might be your pick?

I guess no, you will only get some certificates that show you on what are your performance, I guess ...... But what I do know is that our oral(lisan) marks will be included in the BM paper as a whole, so if you already aced in the BM oral, then you are quite safe. But I'm not confirmed if this applies to the other language subjects

WOW, an impressive feat indeed

I'm in quagmire when it comes to my language subjects such as BM/BI. Frankly, I've got no problem on handling the komsas or literature part, but when it comes to essay/karangan, then it will be a whole different story

All of the other subjects seems quite ok with me,I reckon (Except for History which I'm currently in stalemate,darn ). My whole classmate and me did complete our Math syllabus since weeks ago if my memory serves me right, and we're currently focusing on spamming tons of past year questions. But, when my Math teacher nonchalantly told us that our former Form 5 batch did it way way more earlier than we did, we all...................

Nevertheless, keep on going We're still 104 days away from our big battle, can't wait till that time comes.........

Well done, you've just finish your Maths syllabus , give yourself a pat on the back. Conversely, I never ever like any of the Cerpen and/or Sajak that I've had face throughout my ENTIRE secondary school life Damn, that's really bad. They kinda remind me of History, and I'll always have to coerce myself to read them just in order to score in the exam, not more than that. But ironically, those Cerpen/Sajak as well as History are few of the part of the examination subjects that I can relatively passed with ease. Well anyway, I'm glad that you're vividly able to recall few if not most of the poem that you've learned. Unlike you, I often compel myself to read through the short notes/points of the novel again and again and again(frankly its very tedious ) because I can't really seemed to cling on my rusty brain to deal with these subjects, save for Physics,Maths and Chemistry though.
I concur with you of the fact that KBKK seems to be the killer questions, be it in the BM Komsas part or in History. Your situations regarding answering those tricky questions kinda reminds me of mine in the mid-year test too, it hurts and I lost 3 to 4 marks for giving answers that are extremely irrelevant or superfluous

Seriously, I don't know where to start. Things might be all jumbled up.

Your experience is relate-able, I have went and still going through a lot ups and downs myself. But all in all, I'm glad of all of that, for I have forged countless of wonderful friendships with a variety of people by doing what I like and connecting it with the right people. It is quite a comfort to know that the people around me are here with me due to the fact that we share common interests, or are at the same level of peculiarity, or even just because we click.

Dude, just hang in there. As long as you stay true to yourself, there will always be people waiting around the corner for the right moment to bump into people like you, be it your college life or when you're working. The world is an enormous place, remember? They say great things take time to happen

Regarding the Trials, I reckon I'm gonna start to pull an all-nighters to finish covering up my Form 5 syllabus as well as refreshing my memory on the Form 4. Literally it's roughly about one month time for me but technically, its way more less than that, considering the fact that I often procrastinate on completing the growing pile of my schoolwork

Textbook is extremely essential not only in BM Komsas, but in other subjects as well. Most of the questions that're gonna pop up in the examination are inter-related with the textbook, albeit the fact that most of the time we use our favoured revision books to add our knowledge and information in what we have learned due to the fact that revision books mostly contains lots of cramming exercises, compact notes and some in-depth theories. But conversely,some other textbooks are highly recommended compared to the revision books that're in the store. For an instance, I mostly utilize my Biology textbook when it comes to memorize/comprehend the notes thoroughly. The same applies to my History textbook; I exploit it as I found out that several if not most of the notes provided from some Sej revision books do contains information/notes that are slightly different form the ones in the textbook. And not to mention that supposedly we're opt to select answers that're in objectives question, be it History or Biology, and that we're given option that are from the textbook, while the next option can be found in the revision book, we will have to choose the former. Trust me when I say this that I've been into this quagmire more than once before. And I will always get the same reply by my teacher saying that I gotta answer the questions according to textbook bla bla....., and not to follow my revision notes bla bla..... As much as I like to protect my standing and reasoning before it comes to a stalemate with my teacher, I gotta bitterly admit my defeat if I were to oppose any answers/theories from the textbook, and none of my answers will be further tolerated. So you see, this is where the fundamental of textbook comes in, be it you like it or not. As for revision books, they are a vital tools too, if and only if their notes/information do not wholly vary with the ones from the textbook. When it comes to specific or exact terms/definitions that I need to comprehend, I'd say textbook is a much more safer tool to be used. But when you need to ameliorate your critical thinking skills, let the revision books be your best pal. So, regarding your doubt about whether you will waste your time by using the textbook, I can't precisely say yes or no. It's all up to the subjects,your needs, and the choice is in your hands

I don't think we can do it now via online or any other means, because one of my teachers told me that we will only get the results as soon as or possibly by the end of september(After we're done with Trials)

Oh I see Thanks for the info by the way. But I can't seem to understand on why several government-based websites like the plkn and SAPS always got jammed, it irks me to no end.........

Obviously, I will pick the option number 2. I've stumbled across this err more than once

n=5,right?
