For the past 2 public exams I've been using Pilot RexGrip 0.7

I know its expensive but IMO it feels good to write, as well as its my lucky pen tongue.gif

Ooh, I've used those before. But I like the colour intensity of gel pens. So bright and bold. Smudgy, though, I know. What a waste. My friend recommended the Faber Castell CX5 to me, which I used to use, but they bled through the paper and smudged too - my handwriting is quite small and sometimes it just looks like an ink blot ugh.


Will pick up a RexGrip tomorrow, thanks!

GENERAL PEMBUKAAN (for fakta masalah sosial)

"Tak tumbuh tak melata, tak sungguh orang tak kata," pepatah Melayu ini tepat menggambarkan masalah ______ yang kerap diperkatakan oleh rakyat Malaysia. Sesungguhnya, perbuatan yang tidak bermoral/berperikemanusiaan ini bukan sahaja menjadi buah bibir masyarakat kira, malah menjadi topik pendebatan yang hangat di Dewan Rakyat. Sebagai anggota masyarakat yang prihatin, kita seharusnya mengenalpastikan pokok pangkal/sebab utama berleluasanya masalah _____ ini. Lebih-lebih lagi/Selanjutnya, kita harus mengorak langkah untuk membendung gejala ini hingga peringkat akar umbinya.

You can change it to fit any masalah sosial or even for karangan about perpaduan kaum. Quite useful IMHO. I don't use these but my friends have been using for all the karangans this year, just the same pendahuluan.

GENERAL PENUTUP:

Intihanyam usaha menangani masalah ______ memerlukan iltizam yang teguh dan komitmen yang ikhlas daripada segenap lapisan masyarakat. Tanpa sokongan padu rakyat jelata, usaha kerajaan untuk memerangi gejala sosial ini akan menjadi sia-sia sahaja bagai hujan jatuh ke pasir.

This penutup is very general, and you should definitely add more to it, but the rangkai is there.

Can anyone share ways to study for Chemistry ? I can't seems to memorise the equation correctly and always got it wrong.

Memorise the products formed. Don't try to memorise the balancing number because you may get mixed up. Just memorise the products formed and then balance the equation yourself.

Know the charges of the ions. There are like 15 common ions, make sure you're 1000% sure of the charges.

There aren't a lot of different types of equations that they can ask you. Just learn the products formed from the basic reactions (I think there are around 10) and you should be good to go. icon_rolleyes.gif

sweat.gif wow, you wrote 7 pages. i only can write 4 pages max (BM wasn't good), but my teacher gave me 80/100, as for section A, i got 23/30.

your karangan made me worry for my SPM now sweat.gif  thought i may at least get A-, based on my trial BM result (75)
*
Don't be worried! A good karangan doesn't necessarily depend on the number of pages. Depending on your handwriting, 4 pages can be quite a lot. I write 4 pages and that's about 1.2k words. (Probably not A LOT, but it's a relatively good length).

As long as you are writing with good language, good points and good elaboration, you should be good to go! 80/100 is pretty good! My teacher told me that usually in SPM, 23/30 will become 26/30. To get A+ for SPM, she said if you get at least 105 for both papers, it's fine. (She marks the papers so I trust her.)

1 question for all of you, as you all know, BM p1 bahagian A, it states that the length of our karangan should be between 200 to 250, but did all of you actually follow that?

for me, i wrote like more than 330 words during my trial exam. some of my friends said that we can ignore that rule. his tuition teacher told him that he should ignore that rule and write as much as he can. according to his tuition teacher, word length between 200 to 250 really can't write much.so, ignore that rule.

but, at the same time, some of my friends said that we must follow that rule because when the examiner is marking your paper, he will get fed up when he saw your 'long long' essay.

what about all of you? did you all follow that rule?
*
There's no rule like that. In fact, you are encouraged to write abou 350-400 for short karangan, and 600-800 for long karangan. Write as much as you can without going off point or talking crap. Make sure your long essay is longer than your short essay though.

ETA: there is a "rule" like that but please don't follow it!

At least 105 in P2 ?

In retrospect that sounds a bit weird, but if you do the calculations, it works out. If your karangan levels are over 105/130, then you have no worries.

Rumusan eats my marks sometimes. My paper 1 is quite solid - except for bina ayat and peribahasa sometimes unpredictable.

Wah you take Chinese AND Chinese literature? Respect, man. I cannot tahan. Quit Chinese after F3 hahah

For karangan I get 85-92 my range for section B. While 23-25 for sec A I'm worried maybe it's my teacher being too lenient... for spm I am very worried for BM myself.

The conflicts with sec A for p1 is that when an examiner came who is marking at johor. He got 5 years experience. He said they usually read until 350. More than that they ignore. But some said write panjang2 so I am confused.  My teacher also said follow the rules. Ugh sleep.gif
*
92 could be lenient. My teacher said that people rarely get above 87 during SPM, and those who do are VERY, VERY good. Maybe you are that good!

In my experience, karangan for section A does not have a length issue. If you're worried, 5-7 sentences in one paragraph for section A is not that long. You only need to hurai 3 isi anyway. So it still keeps within the 350-400 word range.

Your technique can be used for Q2 and Q3 [ assuming that we ignore Q4 and Q5 ] , because Q1 normally wants points from perspektif 'diri sendiri' .

But with Q2 and Q3 , it isn't always 'Langkah-langkah' or 'Kesan-kesan' . With the fact that not all Q2 and Q3 questions are about 'masalah' in mind , I'm interested to know how you'd come up with pendahuluan's or even isi's for questions like these :

1 . Huraikan faedah-faedah yang anda peroleh dengan menguasai kemahiran ICT [N06]
2 . Sediakan teks ceramah 'Menghargai Jasa Ibu Bapa' [N06]
3 . Tuliskan teks syarahan 'Rukun Negara Membentuk Rakyat Berkualiti' [N07]
4 . Jelaskan kebaikan bekerja lima hari seminggu . [N07]
5 . Jelaskan ciri-ciri sebuah petempatan idaman anda sekeluarga . [N08]
6 . Sediakan teks syarahan yang bertajuk 'Pertanian Merupakan Sebuah Perniagaan' [J12]
7 . Bincangkan pertumbuhan saluran TV [J12]

Thanks !

About the marks above 90, that's good to know. I'm not sure if she meant it in a certain context, so I'll definitely ask her. Sorry if I worried anyone, hahah.

I think it's important that I reiterate that I don't personally use these pembukaans, and that the general pembukaan I gave is meant for masalah only and is not an all-encompassing pendahuluan. In fact, there are about four general pendahuluans to cover most karangan fakta - although as I don't use them, I don't have them with me.

(I've always been able to sort of wing BM essays because I've been able to think of points on the spot, thanks to frequent reading and practice. I hope that goes smoothly for SPM.)

My pendahuluans are usually a sejarah or globalisasi approach. I like to use sejarah in writing my pendahuluan. There's always the generic globalisasi-individualistik-hidup bernafsi-nafsi approach in case sejarah doesn't work out.

For isi, I always remember the main five points, and then create an isi around these five things/people.

The points are:

Thank you very much .

But for the ICT question , it states 'Anda' . So you can't use ibu bapa / kerajaan , etc .

The way I rationalise it, I get the benefit of being able to communicate with my parents overseas. I also get the benefit of being able to join online programmes held by the government. I get the benefit of being able to attend a sekolah bestari and also watch TV online. I thought I rationalised it quite clearly in the short point form I gave you, but guess not. Sorry!

Hello guys, anyone of you going for January early intake?
I am interested for January intake. Any tips on what should I do? When's the deadline for the registration? (For most of the colleges, like Sunway, Taylor, INTI)
*
Hi, I'm going for Sunway's January intake. Deadline for registration of Sunway is 15th December for scholarship recipients, so I think registering before that would be safe. Taylor's is currently open for registration, and they have an open day on the 19th of October. It would be good to check out the open days of any colleges you are interested in, or just go there when you're free to talk to their course advisers (most colleges have people there to help you make the right decision) and scope out the campus.

Wow! 15 December. That's like only few weeks after the SPM.
I am taking Business course and so I think Sunway college should be the best one.
Scholarship recipients? Do you mean for the Sunway Pre-U scholarships which you apply with your mid-term results?

Yeah, the Special Pre-U Scholarship. smile.gif

Honestly, no. I am working towards it, and it'd be great if I get it, but it's not a game-changer. Besides, I haven't been working half as much as you, hahaha.

Well, if she managed to get the Sunway Pre-U scholarship, she could enter earlier. When the results are out, the bursary can take effect? You would be paying reduced fees for the 3 months I guess.

Yep, that's exactly how it goes. Sunway has already given me an 8k bursary for an essay-writing competition though, so if I don't get more than that for the Pre-U scholarship, at least I have a discount, haha.

After the official results, if I'm eligible for the bursary, KPM will pay. They won't pay me back for whatever I've already paid, they'll just take over for me.

Hi, I am from Sunway. If you do get 9A+ and you're in Jan intake , for your first semester, you can get the Jeffrey Cheah's entrance scholarship, which covers 100% of the fees. Then, from the second semester onwards, you can switch over to the bursary, which cover both fees and accommodation. In other words, you have nothing to lose if you choose January intake, except that you have to find your own accommodation for 6 months.

Awesome. What happens to the money I've already paid, then?

For Moral, how do you guys answer the "jelaskan" structure questions? I dug through this thread a bit but it seemed like there was no definite answer (or maybe I missed it.)

The way I do it is (nilai) + (watak) + (one kata kunci) + (short huraian).

Example: nilai rasional. Ali perlulah berfikir dengan wajar dengan tidak menghisap rokok.

Also, are there official kata kunci? The ones I'm using differ a bit from what some of you guys are using.

What happens if I'm writing a definisi but instead of "serta" I write "dan"?
