Thank you smile.gif

E.A? No, I don't. Because there's Commerce. The problem is, I already made my decision on not to take it. That was the decision I've made since last year because the teaching method of last year's Commerce teacher was soooooo hard to understand. Even other students have difficulty understanding it. That is until this year when we got ourselves a good teacher. It was fun. But I still can't understand it. Is it because that I'm merely not interested in it or is it I'm understanding it in the wrong way? Nevertheless, I still stick to that decision. Even though they say that if there's something you're not interested in it, you have to. I wouldn't want to risk it. I mean, it's SPM. The crucial year of all. I'm tingling all over just thinking about it x_x Then there's this teacher willing to teach me thoroughly. She said try sitting for UK1 first. If I do that, then I'll have to face the consequences all to myself depending on how I do.

Well anyway, I'll see first. There're other things to worry about like Accounts. And of course, the addition of 2 subjects. I was wondering the best method to understand something. Like how you're taking E.A. It's almost the same as Commerce right? Correct me if I'm wrong biggrin.gif

P.S: I heard from a friend that if we don't sit for a certain paper on that day, it won't affect our SPM results?

Commerce , like E.A , Malay Literature , Geografi , they are all pretty straightforward . No challenging concepts to comprehend , if you compare them to the science subjects . So I guess it has to do with your disinterest towards the subject . If that's the case , then your problem is solved . Don't take it . I wouldn't take a subject that I'm not interested in , unless it's compulsory .

Just tell your teacher that you're not interested . Problem solve . This is the year where you'll need to have an aim , a clear direction . It's also a year where you need to get rid of distractions .

E.A is not the same as Commerce . Firstly , Commerce involves a lot of retention of facts . Whereas E.A revolves around rational understanding of human behaviours . Since in economics you assume that humans make decisions rationally , concepts are intuitive . In the exams , you just need to apply what you've learnt in the cases that are presented . Whereas for Commerce , the cases are aids to help you come up with the facts you've memorised . Also , E.A teaches analytic skills ( like science ) where you are required to draw graphs , come up with models , and do some simple calculations .

Yes , you can do that . But in your temporary 'penyataan sijil' , there will be a TH . So you wouldn't want to do that .

How's your language subject doing in grades ? biggrin.gif

Thank you . smile.gif
Do you mean results of the previous tests and exams , because our first 2013 test is in March .
If that's the case , they are okay . I've got A+s for all of my English tests and exams , but my BM may need more work , since I've only got one A+ ( mid term ) , one A ( first test ) and an A- ( I did horribly for my final exam , BM , and I was worried ) . I'm not satisfied with both of the subjects to be honest -- English because I still haven't grasped the format in and out , and I'm having hiccups during summaries and directed writing ( summary because I couldn't identify most of the required points, directed writing because I sometimes forget to limit the length of my essay ) . For BM , I've a great teacher , and with the extra classes and Guru Muda sessions conducted , I'm getting there . I just need some patience , that's all .

How about you , for other subjects as well ?

No , if you have mediocre teachers , paying attention in class does little to help your grades . By self-studying , I mean studying at home , on my own , without attending tuition .

actually students no need teachers. as long as they have books, they could study the books and score straight A+ in SPM. Simple smile.gif

But if there's a good teacher , the process will be much smoother and pleasant . smile.gif Some students require teachers to teach concepts they cannot comprehend , like Physics , Maths . Especially Maths , you cannot just read the book and score . There are also things to consider like answering techniques , experiments conducted in lab , etc .

How long do you study per day?
*
This is subjective . Sometimes I only spend an hour , if I'm really tired and not in the mood due to extra classes conducted by school . When I'm really in the mood , very motivated , get enough rest , and thinks that in two weeks time there will be an important test / exam coming up , I will spend close to 8 - 10 hours per day . That's my brute force method for subjects like Biology , Sejarah , and sometimes Ekonomi Asas . I then refresh by re-reading what I've studied to make sure I'm able to retain the facts in my brain . For science subjects like Chemistry , Physics , and Maths / Add Maths , I spend about 3 - 4 hours max per day by learning new material or doing exercises ( mostly past year questions from 1993-2004 ) .

I'm going to spend more time studying since this is the final public exam for me .

No , I never have enough time during weekdays . On weekends , or during holidays , I wake up pretty late , and I make sure after waking up I have enough time for all the necessary routines , breakfast , shower , etc . Then , when my mood's there already , I'll start . Go on for an hour or two , then break -- with long internet time , with a lot of music . Then continue . Then break for food / TV / busybody-ing . Then continue , and an important break during the evening - I make sure I either skip or jog for at least 30 mins ( mostly skipping ) . Then do other things , and wait for the mood to come back . Then continue with this until about 10 PM where I stop studying completely to do other things like watching TV with family or surfing the net .

Are thrombokinase and thromboplastin the same?
*
Yes . If you want to follow the SBP / MARA kids , you'll use thrombokinase ( platelets secret thrombokinase ) .
If you follow the conventional Biology students using the supplied textbook , you'll use thromboplastin ( aggregate of platelets , collagen fibres and clotting factors in blood plasma form activators known as thromboplastins ) .

There are many more weird difference when it comes to Bio terms between SBP / MARA and the rest .
Take chapter 2 for example , the parts of a vertebrae . We use transverse foramen , vertebral foramen , but they use neural canal , and some terms which I've forgotten . The odd part is , in SBP's trial schemes , they use the terms , but when it came to the past year SBP questions printed , they were switched to the terms we 'sekolah harian' students use .

WoW! That is a different textbook. I thought whole country same textbooks ny. Hmmm. I'm in Negeri Sembilan and mine is different. hmm.gif

Indeed it is ! Looks like they have better textbooks than us . blush.gif
I'll stick to thromboplastin anyway , as I'm solely using SUCCESS .

To S'gor-ians : Check if your textbook uses vertebrarterial canal , neural arch , neural canal and a long word 'pzysomethingsomething' ? Also check the functions of basophils and eosinophils . Our textbook explains all of the leucocyte's functions in one tiny paragraph .

Hi, guys. Planning to buy the past year papers books in two days time. I think it's out d. What do you guys think about buying which type of past year would be more essential? The one that follow the year or the one that follows the chapters?

Firstly, thanks for the opinions. Keep the opinion coming.

I hope it's never too late to start studying now???
*
Is the topical version sold in bookstores currently ?

For Maths and Add Maths , buy the ones arranged according to the years .

For the other subjects , get the ones arranged according to chapters .

Some of the answers for Paper 2 ( Physics ) in the topic book are wrong . Be careful .
Biology is really reliable , as well as Bahasa Melayu .
Chemistry has the worst answers ! Really terrible . I who wrote the answers . You're better off checking answer schemes in trial papers to get an idea of how to answer essay / paper 3 questions .

I asked my friends about their opinion too. Some said that past year that follow year will be better because u would not probably know the chapter they are from, better for some of them..

I think the tropical past year is not out yet.

Still deliberating~
Another thing is: my teacher told us that it will be better to buy the SBP past year trial paper book only by october, because it will probably include this year trial paper. Do you think SBP is essential?

Anyway, how's you all's study progress?
*
For subjects like Biology , it's always a good idea to read the answers . You won't have time to do all the questions especially the essay questions . It's better to practice trial papers instead .

Buy the SBP Book with the 2012 paper . By October , Cerdik will not publish the books with the 2013 paper , they will publish them in 2014 .

Yes , SBP papers are a must !

Biology - Done with chapter 1 and 2 . Trying to start chap 3 and at the same time do form four revision .
Chem - Done with chapters 1 and 4 .
Physics - Done with chapters 1 and 2 .
Add Maths - Chapter 1 and 2
Maths - Teacher is at chapter 4 but I still haven't started my revision / practice yet .
Sejarah - It's always hard to say that I'm done with a chapter in Sejarah . Constant revision every single day .
BM - Done with konserto terakhir .
English - done with all the poems .
