SPM is next year. Crap... I'm gonna try to aim for 9A+. I've started um... studying on December. I was TOTALLY FREE AND WAS RESTING BECAUSE I JUST FINISHED FINALS DURING NOVEMBER. NOBODY ASKED ME OUT. Then when I'm on my studying month... SUDDENLY EVERYBODY WANTS TO ASK ME OUT. WTF UGHHH ANNOYING.

So I've covered....

Chemistry = (3/8) chapters
Biology = (2/8) chapters
Add. Maths = (3/11) Chapters
Physics = (0.5/4) chapters. I don't count the first chap
Sejarah = (1/10) chapters.

UGHHH I'm running out of time fml....

To be honest, one can cover the syllabi of non-calculative subjects in just one month.
Focus on your calculative sciences, practical/vocational subjecrs and mathematics, and leave reading subjects at the ending.

You mean Physics + Add Maths + Maths ? But Biology and Chemistry are quite painful too. not to mention the Form 5 syllabus seems harder. I'm scared!

I did not study SPM F4 at all when I was a year younger.
Yes, that are the few to focus first, with the inclusion of Chemistry. Chemistry has a focus on calculation in all years.
Biology is just memory test, with of course, their comprehension.
You worry too much. When time comes, you will get it somehow, and if you don't, I am here to aid.

So aid me at what should I do or revise this december ?

I'm pretty okay with Physics , Chemistry , Maths and Add Maths .
Just need to brush up on light , salts , manufactured substances in industry and solutions of a triangle .

The same can't be said about Biology and Sejarah though . May need to do some intensive studying on the later chapters of Biology and also the long Islamic Civilisation chapters .

I'm good to go with Biology and Chemistry.

The mathematical except Modern Maths subjects... WELL. But now I see it add.maths is quite easy since I've been doing tons of exercises.

I don't know if this sounds childish or what but is it possible to continue my study for Pharmacy in Japan and possibly live there and become a pharmacist there ?

Like how and what should I do from now ? Can I apply scholarship? Malay one and will I go through like all those people in Malaysia who took like language courses in Japanese or Korean in some university before going there ? Because I know I need to master Japanese first... but yeah I want to migrate to Japan if it's possible out of personal reasons.

Can someone help me with bloody physics omg it's the hardest subject for me, my weakpoint never gotten an A..... always C. Ughh how do you answer it and especially those modification/justification question, the 10 marks one. In sec B/C. Omg i hate it!! Omg please help me with physics. I've only covered chapter 3 forces and pressure but I'm still having problems with calculating the archimedes and pffffffft. Gah physics. Nightmare!

Modification part is the easiest section to score. All you need to know is the concept, and the physical theory behind them repeats always.
Like how..... it's confusing like dafdsfafsfsf.

If you take Bio,will be lagi worse..
The true colours of Bio will come out in Form 5 syllabus.
Chem and Phy for Form 5 is bearable..Maybe Electromagnetism(Chap 3)(Physics) requires more understanding and imagination skills.
Add Maths Chap 5 Trigonometry is tough..But in SPM exam,only 2 sections of it come out..
Just be Consistent and study at least 1 hour a day...
Dont be like me,Study gao gao and undergo crapload of stress before the month of SPM...Really no peace of mind when you sleep at night.
Every year seniors will say study consistently.But there is bound to be juniors who always slog during the eleventh hour..
It's a phase you go through la.
Well,Good Luck!! smile.gif

Huaaa bio will be tough ? I constant studied it during Form 4. I love Chem and Bio.........

ugh tips on how to study ? I want to try and get all A+. Gonna do my very best. But struggling with physics here OTL.

After hours of revision , I've finally finished my form four Chemistry . Phew . Salts wasn't that bad after all . (=

Now , for Physics ...

If you can handle Biology , Physics shouldn't be a problem , right ? The hardest science paper ( difficulty in scoring an A+ ) is Biology . The experiments are way more simple than Chem and Bio too . A question : Done memorising the experiments in Bio ? And done with the Nutrition chapter ?
*
I've covered Biology. But right now, I'm covering it again........... finished chapter 5. Chapter 6 next. Wah.... you've covered a lot................. KYAAAAAA jealous. Chemistry, I've covered everything but I'm still lacking at 7,8,9. Acid, Salts and Manufacturing. Still got A for my finals tho for chem huhu. Pain in the ass. I'm so lazy today so no studying. I've been focusing on Physics and Add Maths more. My weakest subjects..... trust me I can't really handle physics. I UNDERSTAND IT BUT WHEN I APPLY IT ON PAPER. BAAAAMMMMM GOT C. foooook. But at the same time, it might be my fault since during 2012, I've only been focusing on every subject except Physics, Add Maths and BM..

I don't see why people are saying that Salts requires a lot of memorising . In fact , if your basic is good , only a little memorising is necessary .

Study in chunks : That's what I did .

Start with solubility of salts . Then methods of preparing soluble salts ( very important to know the procedures well -- you will be asked in the essay section ) . If you're done , you can start studying method of preparing insoluble salts ( this is fairly easy , choose 2 soluble salts where the product will be insoluble , hint : choose a nitrate salt and add a potassium or sodium salt ) .

Then , jump to the qualitative analysis of salts ( stoichiometry , this is easy if you still remember how to balance equations and do some calculations involving chemical reactions , you should be able to cover this in no time ) .

With that aside , start with the gas tests ( oxygen , hydrogen , nitrogen dioxide , etc ) which will help you in determining the presence of anions in a salt compound .

Go on with anion tests ( again , pretty easy -- only four of them . )

Cation tests have may be a bit tricky -- you should know the colours of ions , copper ( II ) blue , iron ( II ) green , iron ( III ) brown , zinc -- yellow when hot , white when cold , lead -- brown when hot , yellow when cold , lead ( II ) oxide -- black , copper ( II ) carbonate - green , potassium manganate ( VI ) purple , etc ) .

Then all you have left are the solubility tests using NaOH and ammonium solutions , these are the important ones . Also remember specific tests like Nessler's reagent , potassium hexacyanoferrate ( II ) , potassium iodide ( to test for the presence of lead ( II ) ions which forms a yellow insoluble salt ) .

That's about it . You got to refresh every day after reading this chapter by reading short notes , even after multiple readings I still am not 100 % sure of certain things , and I'd have to refresh later ( I've left my Chemistry aside for four days now -- concentrating on Physics ) .

All the best !

If you specify your question , just a bit , I think I can . Which chapter are you having trouble with ?

Hmm most likely the ones involving modification and justification. I'm having some trouble with resolution of forces, archimedes. And overall idk so scared man trying to get A+ for SPM but kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Huaaaaaa.

Modification and justification involves more answering technique / common sense than Physics concepts , to be honest .

My advice would be to use tables to answer these questions . Modification on one side , and the reason on the other . The reasons needn't be complex , just think simple . For example :

Modification : The car should be made of low density carbon fibre
Reason : Light and strong , enable car to move faster

It is that simple . Look at trial answer schemes and SPM answer schemes . Looks like your problem is more on answering techniques rather than your understanding on Physics . Don't worry , most of us are still not sure of the answering techniques for all the subjects , I'm sure we'll get there before SPM .

Resolution of forces involves the breaking up of forces into their components -- sorry man , I can't help you here because it gets technical when there are more than two forces involved . Maybe posting a question here would help . You just need to practice more on this , plus make sure your basic trigonometry knowledge is there ; without it you can't do much . Is your Maths good ? If you are , you should be able to grasp this quite easily .

Again , you're being too general . What Archimedes ? The person ? His principle on buoyancy ? Calculations involving buoyant force ? Apparent weight and actual weight ?

YEAH, my answering technique for physics suck. Like I know what the answer is but i can't apply it on paper. so frustrating!!!! Modification kyaaaa idk how people say it's easy. T_T

Well archimedes when it involves the application for it. The Hydrometer and stuffs.

The application parts don't come easy , friend . Even I , who claim to be passionate about Physics , have to read the applications part multiple times to get them right -- especially the hydraulic brakes part , aneroid barometer , etc .

Do you have good teachers ?

Yeah but I guess it's my own fault because I didn't really pay attention for Physics masa form 4 zzz. But i did try but OTL whatever need to get back up. How to study physics efficiently ? >:( mesti you dapat A kan

Simple answer : I understand . I rarely memorise anything in Physics , with F = ma as an exception ( if you would want to call it memorising , I remember all of the form four equations due to frequent encounters with them when practising calculation questions . )

I try to understand even the equations , like impulsive force , when time of impact increases , the overall impulsive force decreases , and then relate it to the equation . I ask myself , why , when throwing a ball upwards , the gravitational acceleration must be negative ; when going downwards , positive ; when involving both upwards + downwards motion , it's taken to be negative . I ask questions all the time -- I think this is an integral and a healthy attitude that must be in everyone when studying Physics .

Same. I can do Bio and Chem well but Physics....... so sad !!!

I know the answers but idk why wrong when i put on paper. Sedih 5ever. Huaaaaaaaaaa.
