I expected more of you. When I read that statement, I was disappointed.

I would never call spoon-feeding education 'education'.

Thumbsup!

Lol, whereas I don't understand how some students could score 4.00 and they take all science subjects. (Phys, Bio, Chem, Maths T). I think you are doing great with your results, a whole lot better than mine. Maybe can consider to retake Biology Term 2.

Because we are all lack of MUET teacher.
Not that much since, like I told you, I was only taught a few basics and my level of writing is just Form 5. I pretty much follow anything that is found in Longman reference book.

She has been teaching for 8 years in SPM Chemistry. Cathode and anode is pretty much a SPM level. It wasn't my group that asked her that question. I was happened to be nearby to hear the conversation. So, yes, it was quite shocking to find out she didn't know which one. And no, I'm not expecting her to be able to teach F6 syllabus. It's just sometimes she messed up basic things, it's kinda hard to listen to her in the class.


In between of spoon-feeding > understand better or non-spoon feeding > fail exam, I would rather choose spoon feeding. I tried to study on my own in STPM Term 1 and it didn't come out that well. What solution I could come out with? Tuition. But could I said half-half? I studied on my own for Biology and Pengajian Am. Well, actually I studied on my own during SPM except for Maths & Add Maths. It's just in STPM, there is no choice for me but to get tuition.

Hi yellowpika and Just Visiting By, and here I have a short question for both of you.

Is it necessary to put in some low-frequency words or any relatable quotes from famous people around the globe in order to increase our marks in language for the Writing component? I observed that a friend of mine always will score higher marks for his MUET essay practice due to him inserting words that are jargon as well as citing quotes from people like Sir Alex Ferguson, Beethoven, and to the likes of Charles Darwin in an essay. I also found out that whenever I write a piece of essay that does not exceed 2 pages, my marks will be below Band 4. So, is it wise to make our essay to be verbose if possible?

Thanks for your replies.

I'm truly sorry for my misleading post. That was my thoughts, personally, so I don't think it will be of any difference to any other students out there who took the Maths T exam. Most of my friends were able to complete said paper albeit with some difficulties.

So, if I were to find any reasons and blame it for my horrendous performance in my first term exam, the only blame I can put at is on myself. I didn't work hard before my exams, I did most exercises in a particular book and keep on rehashing it over and over again without truly master the equations and learn on how to apply them to other complex problems. Most of my practices were monotonous and I didn't think out of the box. And that goes the same to my other subjects too.

Frankly, I was regretting it. I learned a harsh lesson, and I will never ever forget this lesson for years to come. This is my biggest failure ever, and I regret that I didn't pour lots of effort in my studies. I won't promise that I will get a good result in my next exams, but, I will try to work harder for every single exam that I'm about to face in the future. Let this academic setback be a lesson for me so that I will never, ever make this same mistake anymore.

I was, and I still regret about it.

P/S: Thank you for the Polya's 4 Steps Problem Solving process, and if it weren't for that, I'll kiss my 6 marks goodbye.

I just finished my STPM exam.

Except for Maths T, others was fine to me.

Please, I would not want to retake any papers

I do hope neither the MUET exam get nerfed nor getting ridiculously harder.
Rumors said that march exam is the hardest. Furthermore, speaking test conducted in schools located in town or cities is more cruel and strict compared to those in outskirts of town because candidates in town should have a better mastery of English. Is it true?

I got a band 5 for my MUET exam.

Listening- 29/45
Speaking- 35/45
Reading- 93/120
Writing- 72/90

Aggregated score: 229/300

My sixth form senior assistant told us that only 3 students(including me) scored band 5 in my school. Thank you Just Visiting By, Critical_Fallacy and anybody out there who have helped me in my preparation towards my last year's MUET exams.

I doubt I'll have enough preparation to tackle the second term exams even if it were 6 months away. Last time I checked, I wasn't able to fully cover every subject of the first term syllabus, not to mention mastering them. I've just brushed up a little on the first and second chapter of Maths T, and my memory tells me that the calculus we studied in SPM is a jest compared to STPM's calculus.

So, how's your humanities subjects going for you?

By the way, guys, it is official that Term 3 2014 result will be released on 28/1.

Question: Find the differentiation from the implicit function of .

My workings:




So, this is how I end my workings: . But again, the final answer given from my book is . The signs in the numerator and the denominator are interchanged. Where are my mistakes?

Thanks for your reply and advice. But, it has already become a habit of mine to execute each step in my workings without shortcuts to prevent myself from making any careless mistakes(and it's because I'm really slow in calculating too). They cost me time, but, it's better than making a slight silly errors and ended up ruining my whole effort and time.

Just a while ago, I found out the formula for specific charge of ions, .

But, if I were to redo my working again:-

Based on question:



And now, instead of getting 2, my final answer is 1/2. Where did I go wrong?

hello my senior

if I have any questions, should I ask here or in other thread(the lower 6) one??? I know this question sounds personal and subjective, but how many hours you think that we younger bro and sis should study in a day??

i now study daily 5 hours, do you think i must increases it more to 8 hours in every day??

and what subjects in your opinion that you is difficult??
but I start read newspaper i think I learning quite less, you think i should focus more on the words that the writers write or the ideas of the articles??

waahh, judging from this post here, you should get band 5 and above, your English very high standard one, like big bro just visiting by and critical fallacy......and all the other band 5 muet senior legends......

anyway, for maths, how do you advice us juniors to study?? i sometimes understand the concept of formula, but it really hard to use it in stpm problems...teacher gave us to to past year questions according to chapter by chapter, but it found out that it is very hard than the revision book one...

Well, nus has been very strict on their admission these years especially this year, stpm 4.0 and muet band 5 got rejected for engineering course, this was very unusual as the cut-off point was not that high few years back, they are even more strict for a-levels applicant.
Trust me on this, I had been rejected by nus and got accepted into ntu, and from my fellow ntu mate(going to enrol this year), some of them are with perfect 4.0 and high muet score got rejected thats why they are in ntu.
