Regarding the active or passive voice for paper 3, I've just attended a chemistry seminar and the teacher says that we should use active voice for the experiment. And then I just recalled what I had wrote for trial exam, I used passive voice and my teacher didn't deduct my marks at all. I wonder why .....

Both are okay la , but I find active voice easier and less cluttered , more dynamic .

Thanks for the update. Is flip-flop circuit in the physics syllabus? icon_question.gif

A simple flip-flop circuit can be constructed from a pair of cross-coupled NOR gates!

XNOR and XOR gates are out of the syllabus , but in SPM they still do ask them , in 2006 and in 2011.

Flipflop circuit is also out of syllabus but I learnt it nevertheless , who knows it might come out .

You know, I'm not at all surprised. I would really appreciate if you could share your list with me, as long as you're sure that it's accurate. (Sorry, but I know you're OCD with moral too, so I hope you understand how I feel).
I've found a list from this blog, by the way.

Thanks!

Use that list , mine's pretty much the same thing . The notes posted on his website are enough for an A+ .

I'm going to start with experiments soon, anyone know which we should focus on?

I'll update you with my list of experiments . Personally , I haven't started reading the experiments .

HOTS question thingy news are spreading like wildfire . Expect the unexpected for this year , even in the sciences , and Add Maths !

By the way aren't we supposed to write like , saya akan tinggal di dalam negara kerana saya sanggup mempertahankan negara yang tercinta walaupun terpaksa berkorban nyawa . But you said we should write nilai and penerangan ? How ?

Please guys . Tone down on the talk about tips/leaks for now . Leave them first . Reliance on tips means lack of confidence .

Nope .

So far , after asking 6 different people , I have six different answers . Even an Olympiad Bronze medalist provided an answer which is different from the mark scheme .

2! X 6P5

So far , you're the only person who got it right . Mind sharing your reasoning ? I understand 2! because U and E can both be arranged in 2 ways , but 6P5 ?

6P5 because UE/EU also needs to be arranged.

Yes , I understand the 5 part , but 6 choose 5 ? Shouldn't it be 5 choose 5 ?

Why would it be 5 choose 5? blink.gif  If I'm not mistaken, there are 6 slots and 2 were already taken, so only 4 slots left icon_question.gif

Sorry five choose four . Hmmm , after asking seniors , I think 1200 is the best answer . Do you have any more seniors whom you can double check with ? But I think I'm quite sure now , seeing your reasoning and manutd's .

So kedah's answer is wrong .

This is how I do it, and I think it's a little different from the way you guys do it, but I got the answer, so here's a quick diagram on my thought process.

By the way , mingissms , do you still do Maths and Add Maths practices ? I'm trying to focus more on reading subjects currently . I find the act of researching about A lvl distracting me from my SPM studies , more excited about the subjects than SPM .

HAHA dude, I went through that during trials, because scholarship season was smack in the middle of my trials.

I still have yet to do past year papers for Add Maths and Maths, so I'll finish that. Maths and Add Maths is my way of relaxing anyway.

I've done most of my reading, I think. Need to brush up on experiments, moral and sejarah and maybe some bio closer to SPM, otherwise there's really nothing else. Guess it's just spamming past year and trial papers for me now.
*
Yeah , Biology , Sejarah ... Usual stuff . Anyway an essay question which requires flowchart to to be drawn to explain formation of pollen grains came out in my Gerak Gempur . Any thoughts about that ? Eight marks . In chemistry , cleansing action of soaps , eight marks also .

I can only come up with , at most 5 points for formation of pollen grains .

Doesn't the flow chart count for marks as well? 5 points for elaboration and 3 for diagram?

Oh, by the way, do you have any tips on studying/answering biology? I find it tedious, even though I enjoy the subject.
*
Hmmm . I think you're right .

What do you need , specifically ? Yeah I agree , biology sort of has KBKK questions which require odd answers , odd , as in , doesn't relate to the question . I really enjoy the subject too . As tedious as it gets , it's a whole lot better than sejarah . Whenever I read sejarah I get all agitated . Mehhh . I just finished bab 8. So many freaking dasar's! I think I've got to read those last few chapters many many more times . And all the cabaran's for wawasan 2020 ... It's hard to explain my frustration .

I'll get back to some of the queries tomorrow . Very exhausted .

But : I really respect straight A1 scorers from the 70-90's . Especially the pure science students .

Physics 1993 , P2 , SEC B :

Explain the function of a nuclear reactor with the aid of a fully labelled diagram . [9 marks]
