Hi there!

Yu want an "A" for Sejarah in SPM? And yu are seeking tips?

I scored "A" for Sejarah in SPM 1999. How did I do that? I read the textbook and a reference book. From Page 1 till the end. I'm frigging serious. And if yu want to see my SPM transcript I can provide yu as a proof. (Just PM me).

There yu go. For 1 week duration: CONSISTENCY and FULL CONCENTRATION/IMAGINATION from page 1 till the end. Yu may want to try it.

Regards, Joey~~~

p.s: I might be a little bit weird when it comes to studies...what the heck I scored an "A" for it. Bites me!
By the way, what is "Modul Pintas". Come to think of it...never heard of it ("modul pintas") in year 1999. I'm getting rusty.

Hahaha..

I've got A1 in my Sejarah..

I suggest these below ~

(1) For scoring Sub/Objective paper
- Read - read and mark the points
- Must remember that, if you know the "who when how where" of certain "history", then you can fully understand the whole thing
- Points! Points!
- Practice! Do the SPM Sejarah quiz book after reading.

Con'td-

- Read and read! Read the text book, don't just read the reference book, just read the textbook, if you are bored with it, try to drink coffee haahaa.. I'm just kiddin'.
Okay U must read it like it is a story book, like Twilight and etc.. Lols!
- And get alotof points as possible, summarize it.. Try to memorize..

Here's the important thing for you to know, our History ~ is in the TEXT BOOK, So read the textbook and put alotof effort pls.

Hmmm...I would like to add something, Thread Starter.

Somehow, it brings back memories when I'm grinding through SPM last time. Yes. I do agree with "xcullen". As far as my memory serves me right, I read the Sejarah textbook as I would read a story book.

But of course I have passion and love towards Sejarah. To share my story, I almost ended up reading Law after Form 5. But things didn't turn out the way I wanted and I ended taking other course in a local Univ.

It's not that hard. Discipline yourself and be "open minded" and indulge yourself in the world of Sejarah. I think it's best to start from Page 1. From the initial page, proceed to another page. Pages by pages. Don't take short cuts.

As yu are leafing through the textbook, yu will realise there's an "inter correlation" between the pages. The more I write ere, the more I'm excited with Sejarah. For a guy like me taking 7 days prior to Sejarah SPM and score an "A1" for it, I think yu can too.

I wish yu good luck, Thread Starter and to those that will be taking Sejarah SPM.

Regards, Joey~~~

As a Sejarah A1 student, i would like to share how i study...
well, im not a book worm and 1 hate memorizing-study especially dealing with bio and sejarah.

I failed about 3-4 times for my sejarah in both F4 and F5, my average for test is 30-50+, but i only takes 20+ days to read up a sejarah note photostated by my fren and tadaaa... i get an A1 for my sejarah.(I guess my score on the paper is 70 or 80 something in the SPM)

Anyway, that's for last-minute study students like me,I still suggest u read the book as story and try to keep the important things in ur head. I too was surprise that i only used about 20+ days to study up sejarah. I'm not showing off here but just to tell u that i sleeps in my sejarah class, never know what the hell the teacher is talking in the class. (coz once u missed the front part, then it's hard to catch up for sejarah.)

at first i was going to give up sejarah, but until the last month b4 SPM, i just realised that how important is every subject for me.I skipped school for 20+ days and self study at home. 1 day 1 chapter. I never touch my textbook though.

and for bio, i just used 2 months to study, and i get an A1 too for bio. B4 that i also always fail my bio and my bio's score never goes up to 60 b4.

Highlight pen is important, but do not simply highlight anything just like one of my fren.... his book is full of colors which is crazy. And.. the most important 1, don't hate any subject bcoz u never do well in that subject.

Add-on: Who want my note can pm me.

Yeahp. Agree with the post above. Use multi colour pen so that it will enhance your brain and you can memorize better.

i aslo wann the modul pintas notes..someone was good can do me a favour? my email (sektou29@hotmail.com

you dont have to do anything...i form 4 and 5 didnt study for sejarah...when exam come just make story also can pass

It is not wise to suggest "negative" practice to Thread Starter. Would be more appreciated if yu can suggest/share something constructively.

Added on May 21, 2009, 10:14 amYour friend is similar to a Univ mate I had last time. All his printed notes and textbooks are all lit up like a christmas tree.Hihihi~~~
Different people, different style, eh?

Anyway, me and my other friends would tease him by saying,
"WOW! Yu sure love colouring! That's a frigging textbook and not a colouring book....Aduiii".

Anyway, it's his style, nothing wrong with it. Just a bit weird though. Hahaha~~~

Read the textbook and reference book as if they are your comics.
If you can memorize all the characters and events in Naruto, Rave, Wira Tunggal Pendekar Laut (er, my bf's fav), then, YOU ARE GOOD TO GO.

Put in effort in it and god will do the rest.

if for me
I always imagine the place or situation

Treat it like story book.As the example for me Lord of the ring trilogy leave a very deep impression to me and I can remember the story line fully.
I mean if u read a book like Lord Of The Ring right, there are journey and battle story.Just imagine the introduction of history is a starting place in Shire (LOTR) perhijrahan as the starting journey to get the one ring to Mount Doom, battle among Muhammand prophet against Quraisy and the Islam empayar as in Moria Mine battle, World war 1 as Helm's Deep battle and World war 2 as final battle in Mordor Gate.This is the way how I get my Sejarah A for every test and Sem exam including SPM.

SO tell me what you all think.Interesting isn't it?

why dont you ask for it from you sejarah teacher? it has got so many pages i dont think its that easy to send through email..
i got mine from my teacher btw. the whole class has it and i dont remember paying for it at all..
and as some forummers said, it's really useful, because all the important points are in there and it's so easy to read.
read the booklet, memorize all the main points, and write whatever you remember or 'sounds familiar' for the essay part of exam.
points will not be deducted for wrong answers, only the correct answers will be given credits.

Do plenty of exercises. Memorize the answers in the answer sheet(for essay questions).

NOTE: I DIDNT TOUCH MY TEXTBOOKS AND DONT HAVE ANY REFERENCE BOOK FOR SEJARAH, YET I GOT A1.

ALL I NEED WAS EXERCISE BOOKS AND PASS-YEAR PAPERS. PERIOD

i didnt even do exercise as i stated earlier just know how they mark the paper. Look at my previous post for the link.

I scored an A in sejarah in SPM 2002.

Tat time i didnt really study much, maybe tat time my memorizing skill was still in good condition, haha.

I can't really memorize stuff, just understand the marking scheme and your good to go. Abuse the system !
