QUOTE(Heartnsoul @ Oct 22 2013, 06:49 PM) A question guys, do you guys take afternoon naps? I rarely take them but nowadays, I find myself very tired in the afternoon(3pm) after studying and if I sleep, I wake up grumpy and dizzy. This results in me not being productive for the rest of the day. Can't cramp those facts in! Any tips? Evening naps are extremely vital, they're like my daily routine activities, and now it becomes my hobby.  Unlike you, I'll be fully refreshed the next thing I woke up from my evening slumber, so I'll have the chance to keep myself busy at night as I can't sleep early. I reckon you're physically and mentally new to this thing, so yeah, it might take some time for you to acclimatise to this thing. Oh, by the way, refrain yourself from taking a cup of coffee if you're intended to pull an all-nighters. It'll keep you up and be refresh, but, for a small duration of time(for like 2 to 3 hours). The next thing you know, you'll feel extremely drowsy and it'll aggravate your mental concentration, I've been there, done that.

QUOTE(chun96 @ Oct 22 2013, 09:08 PM) In 'membina ayat', are we not allowed to use the word given as the first word of the sentence? It's all boils down to the questions. There're certain restrictions to as how will we construct a whole new sentence from the given word, and we are usually verboten from making a proverb or idiom out of it. But just so you know, my teacher once told me that there's once where the questions allow students to add any imbuhan to the given words. In a nutshell, it's all depend on the questions itself.

QUOTE(Heartnsoul @ Oct 23 2013, 01:54 PM) Thanks for all the tips guys. I'm going to power nap later. Gonna finish my Add Math module first. So, how are you guys going to use the 4 days after Add Math and before Physics? I'll definitely refresh my memory on Biology(the essay part) first, as it's the final subject for me. After that is done, I'll probably resort to focus entirely on Physic P2 and Chemistry P2. That's what I have in mind, but can't confirm it now for sure, as there may be a change in plans for the time being. 4 days sounds quite suffice, at least for me.

QUOTE(Heartnsoul @ Oct 23 2013, 02:33 PM) Yea, lots to read for Biology. I'll most likely spend a huge portion of the time reading Biology experiments. Physic and Chem experiments are okay, but Biology experiments are... ugh... too many and too long. Plus, I don't feel safe not reading those that already came out Anyways, my math teacher said that it is very dangerous to do plans and elevations in Math as the marking is very strict. He says they have a perfectly draw plan on a tracing paper which they use to mark it and if your off, your screwed. Was wondering if anyone's teachers told them the same thing? And anyone doing plans? I seem to find Earth as a Sphere annoying. Yes, it's quite risky, but I've been drawing them since Form 4, so I guess it ain't really that daunting to me. You've got to be extremely precise on the length, and ensure that you have all of the good tools at your side. Every details that has been drawn will be inspect thoroughly, and you'll probably screw yourself even if there is an observable tiny dot on the edge of your drawings. That really irks me to no end, because I often spend lots of times redraw and re-erase them in order to get the near-perfect plan/elevation. But, this question is kinda straight-forward,so I will choose this questions as I've been trained for this for a year now, and not to mention that I lack exposure on Earth as a Sphere.

QUOTE(chun96 @ Oct 23 2013, 06:15 PM) 13 days till SPM! Feeling extremely stressed. Anyway, when (date) will you guys start preparation for 'Bahasa Melayu' and English? I've already started revising my Form 4 Komsas, the only thing that I left now is drama and novel. I'll start Form 5 Komsas on this weekend, if I'm coerced to revise other subjects first, then I might as well leave it till next monday. As for English, I'll try to refresh my memory on novels on next Saturday(2nd Nov) perhaps, it seems rusty for the time being

QUOTE(JEGEND @ Oct 25 2013, 03:54 AM) hi guys. i haven't start studying yet . anyone on the same boat  Welcome to this group  We're exactly 11 days away from our big exam, and we only sit for it once in our lifetimes. So, if you think that you want to give it all in this exam and if you reckon you still have the chance to make things right, then now is the time!!!! Don't assure yourself that there is always a tomorrow, for that mindset will only slow you down and makes you procrastinate a lot. Study like never before and make all necessary preparations, only then it's probably safe to say that you're good to go into the battlefield. Remember, you wouldn't want to mess this up, you've only got one shot, so make it count

QUOTE(JEGEND @ Oct 27 2013, 12:46 PM) Does anyone know what's the mark to get an A- in SPM for Sej , Phy , Chem and Sej ? worry though . I don't think anybody out of the LPM/SPM markers explicitly knows the exact pointer of A-/A/A+ for each subject. It changes annually and it'll most likely follows the bell curve graph. Supposed the number of students who scored high grades in the said subjects in this year increases drastically and outweighs those who not, then the pointer for getting an A-/A or A+ may perhaps be raised up a little as well. Don't agitate yourself with all of these issues especially at a moment like this, just keep your head on the game and make full preparations for the time being. Once you're done, you'll likely able to ace the big test, no matter what the marks/pointers are

QUOTE(green_algae @ Oct 31 2013, 06:02 PM) all the ramalans are totally different with each other  my teacher gave me this: a) kebaikan komputer b) kepentingan internet kepada masyrakat c) usaha - usaha mewujudkan patriotisme dalam kalangan remaja b) peranan ibubapa dalam mewujudkan keluarga bahagiaim not responsible if any of this does not come out  It seems like anything related to ''semangat patriotisme'' is included into the list, since my BM teacher did mentioned it too not too long ago. So far, I've read all of the spotted topics for BM essays in this thread, and I think it's quite safe to say that they're all doable  , but I might need to brush myself up on the elaborations though, sometimes my brain gets jam when it comes to that part. Oh, regarding the bolded part above, it came out in my school's Form 4 mid-year test. If(and only if) it really do come out in the SPM, then I'll be hitting a jackpot

QUOTE(Heartnsoul @ Nov 1 2013, 03:09 PM) Too risky, G2 kena water gone liao. Why not try a ballpoint pen? Anyways, how do you guys usually draw a line of best fit? Ignore all the points and draw through the middle or connect 1st and last point or? It depends on the points themselves. Supposed that there're six points for the graph, then it's best to ensure that three of them are on the upper side, the other three on the lower side of the line. But on certain attempts, I pick to connect the 1st and the last. Bottom line is, the line should be 'best fit', only then we're good to go on to the next question.

QUOTE(flamemusic @ Nov 1 2013, 06:04 PM) Any idea about how to answer bm komsas part regarding nilai? Nilai yang terdapat dalam cerpen ialah nilai kerajinan or nilai kerajinan dalam menuntut ilmu? Should we be specific? I don't think we need to specify, or am I wrong?  When it comes to answering the nilai part, I often plainly write : Nilai bertanggungjawab, Nilai prihatin, Nilai tolong-menolong et cetera. After giving out the nilai, only then I'll delve into it in the huraian. But I think the same can't be done with pengajaran.

QUOTE(mingisms @ Nov 1 2013, 07:02 PM) I write like this: Salah satu nilai yang terdapat dalam petikan ialah nilai kasih sayang (no specification, but specification is also fine). Contohnya, isteri Kapten Mamat menunjukkan kasih sayangnya terhadap Masnah yang kehilangan suami dengan memicit-micit kepalanya. It may not be necessary to write the whole "salah satu nilai" part, but I like to see complete answers so... hahaha. Contoh is a MUST though. For pengajaran, it does have to be quite specific, but no contoh is needed. Thanks for the heads up!

QUOTE(xfreedom @ Nov 1 2013, 08:54 PM) Quick question. Do you guys change the words for isi tersurat or do you guys copy the whole thing without changing anything ? I am confused because some schools encourage while some schools don't. Thanks in advance ! Copy the whole damn thing,period. Nope, my teacher went to a BM ceramah conducted by a renowned teacher in a renowned school(possibly a cluster school if my memory serves me right, but it doesn't matter). Anyway, my point is, even the speaker himself urged nobody to change or even manipulate the said sentence into pasif from aktif or vice versa.Even a slight substitution of words could be detrimental for our marks as it may change the meaning/definition of the sentence. Even if we're able to enhance the said sentence grammatically into perfection of our own accord, by any means necessary, DON'T DO IT, unless we got a death wish This post has been edited by RED-HAIR-SHANKS: Nov 2 2013, 01:17 PM

QUOTE(reenoo @ Nov 2 2013, 01:21 PM) hey guys, for BM right is there a specific formula for how to write the komsas questions? what i mean is like, how do i start and usually how many paragraphs do we need? im not entirely sure and i have been doing it the way i see fit (which might not be a good idea next week) I reckon @maximR had already clear this up and discuss about it thoroughly in the SPM 2013 V1, he even explicitly pointed out the marks that we can garner through isi and bahasa. He even listed out the sample answer, so I guess you might wanna take some time digging it up, good luck

QUOTE(maximR @ Nov 2 2013, 11:26 PM) On second thought , I guess I'll drop by to answer questions ( if I can ) and also to share new stuffs ( if I do get them ) . But I'd no longer update the front page's Candidates List . Sorry guys . And also , for now , I can't come up with secret formulas or tips or guides about how to prepare for a certain subject . Realistically , we still have a few days left , and I'm not sure how I'm able to help . My advice , for everyone , would be to ' Keep Calm and Study ' , no point in panicking at the moment . In fact , as days go by , you should try to relax more . The bolded part above really explains my recent preparations towards the SPM, albeit the fact that I don't really like it. I've completed in revising both of the language subjects for my first week of SPM examination, but for some unknown reasons, I doubt my preparations are really suffice to take on both BM and BI. It even seems that Sejarah is more foreboding......

QUOTE(maximR @ Nov 2 2013, 11:59 PM) Done with Sejarah , at least for now ! Will take some time after English to revise . I will need to take a day or two after English to prepare for Moral and Biology too . P.Islam and Biology would be my biggest hindrance in achieving 9A+. I've got about 5 days to armour up and reinforce my arsenal before I wage war against Sejarah, and considering the fact that the only problem I face currently is my rusted memory on final chapters of both FORM 4 and 5, I'd say it'll be done in no time, well maybe a little more longer  . Will surely gonna use up the precious 5 days for preparing other subjects as well.

QUOTE(nachoTinker @ Nov 3 2013, 12:21 AM) Hey guys, can we hand write extra notes on printed materials for sej paper 3 and bring it in? :/ I wouldn't be so sure about it, but let me tell you this experience that I had. During the moment my Sejarah Trial P3 was ongoing, my school's committee for history subject abruptly came into our class and informed us that we're verboten from using any of our hand-written notes, only printed ones were allowed and we're told to discard away any of our hand-written notes that we had in our possession at once. In a nutshell, I don't think we can.
