Hey , anybody can teach me some tips on how to study form 4 and form 5 sejarah =.= i only have problems with this subjects so frigging hard to memorize all the names and names and more names ....... anybody got any acronym ? im studying chapter 5 of form 4 and chapter 9 of form 5 . any tips =.= ||

Erm... I suggest mind mapping.

As a Sejarah A1 student.
i photostat the modul pintas notes.
i read those 1 week b4 exam and scored.
oh .. and i crapped alot in the essay.
as they dont pinalise marks for wrong points.
they give credit for right points.

and clear ur mind from LYN... hehe they will divert u while u studying

i hate reading, but i read the book also .. wut i did, to improve my memory bout history. i ask my friend who like to read, tell me what's in the book... make the conversation like u were telling the anime to ur otaku friend

my fren also read the modul pintas notes.. and he scored a

yeah, agreed with u

honestly the notes good ma.
short notes, but all kena.
i used to get nothing higher than 60 for Sej during test,
then i photostat and it did wonders.
fantagero also said correct.
must clear ur mind when massive downloading of info.
2 yrs nv study, cramp into 1 week, must make sure the mind clear.

reading untill you understand and get the points..
then write the points into mind mapping..
then try to memorize anything that require you to memorize..

cool , where to get modul pintas notes ?

try thinking it as a story as my teacher said. but for me, I get all A's in my current results for every subj. =)







except sejarah xD

yeah where can i get nota pintas?

try to ask ur fren

do you have? care to share?

i dont have.. because i dont care about sejarah haha.. but, i would try to ask my fren

i dont care either but i have my SPM trials which i have to submit to the UK . oh wait , they dont see the sejarah marks right?

of course they see (my oppinion haha)

Lol..Last year SPM i juz read the two textbooks..Lucky still get A1..hahaz,,

i jus sort of read the 2 textbooks as a story book for a few weeks b4 the exam and got A1 in sej

oh kewl .... yea , i read it yesterday chap 3 , chap 6 8 9 of form 5 . todays my sej trials . wish me luck . haha . anyways , where to get modul pintas?

History never be my best friend or subject. Last time, my school mate could get A and A+ and I always wonder why I couldn't get that score. The best is A-

i just treated my f4 and f5 history textbooks like my other half. do some past-year questions too so u'll get familiar with the types of questions they usually ask.

practise make perfect...
yes, i agreed that do more past year questions will help a lot, especially for objective question.

Seriously the notes are helpful. I from 21marks jump to 67marks.

Just read the textbook provided by the school cause the examination board is not suppose to ask you anything outside what is written in the textbook.....

erm.. may i know what is the modul pintas notes?

In my opinion, you have to read everything from start to end. Try to memorize if you can, if not just read through. Then, you must do alot of exercises ! Go buy like 3- 4 exercise books and start doing it. When you do not know the answer, flip through the text book or reference book to find the answer. This way will definitely enhance your absorption rate. Well, It works for me. Good luck

wow most of you guys here got A1, gj mine was A2 and yea, read the 2 txt books ONLY, do past yr, AND try to memorize the points only. Since the marking scheme only requires you to have the right points + a huraian.

SPM's getting near huh, good luck ^^

the marking scheme has changed last year. This year, I am not sure but for last year, they ask for 6 points and they gave 6 marks for it. Imagine the horror on our faces. We were fecked and we fecked the paper

A1 as well XD

What is modul pintas notes?
Where to get em'?

dont memorize it ... understand the story behind it. soon , you'll get to use logic to figure out the answer.

No difference me thinks. It's still 1 point for each mark. OH NOES.
Now about the modul pintas notes.

What or where can I find it?

There's no logic behind the actions of our previous leaders, it's just filled with bullcrap and racial discrimination.

Me like the way you think but it doesn't matter what jabroni you think. Just memorize the book and score A1s and go to Madrid and don't come back

Who got Negeri Sembilan sejarah paper 2 pls share.

Just type also can thanks.

be sure that you're willing to really study for it. if you're not willing to, you have whatever books/short notes also no use. it'll come and go at your brain/mind.

p/s: history is my favourite subject. really.

ask friends or seniors, its quite popular.

we ended up making our own sejarah to fill the dirty stuff they cut off

i got A1 for my sejarah. i just studied those first few chapters sejarah in form 4 book. the form 5 book, i totally ignore it. not sure about the current system now, but previously paper I is objectives and I nail that paper coz most of the questions are from form 4 book. whereas paper II, i just pick those form 4 questions.
conclusion, i spot questions.

btw, how many As i scored, it didnt lead me to any local uni. to me, spm is a waste of time. hahahaha..

If you are rich, yes, waste of time. But if you are poor and depending on a scholarship, I'd beg to differ.

lolz i nvr know the notes is so beneficial... haha... i have the notes of form 5 only... last week i have asked my fren to photocopy for me... it's quite thick but of course compare to the text books this is more simplify... any1 want it?? i will try my best to scan and upload it at here... but it most probably after my trial...

exactly .

so think as the previous leader would , use their logic ..

for example , the british empire last time would go to all sorts of things to get advantage , so just think of whatever devious method they may use , and you will DEFINATELY recall what you learn about it at the first place.

unless of course you don't pay attention in classes then gg

Essay writing in SPM is fully based on facts from your texts. Around 40% of questions require more than that whereby you need to incorporate some judgements based on historical facts. For instance, I think British shouldn't give up Singapore when giving independence to the Federation of Malaya because bla bla ...

They have helped you a lot by asking "singing" questions like :

1) Bagaimanakah kamu boleh berkhidmat kepada negara?
2) Apakah yang kamu belajari daripada perjuangan merdeka?

Maybe you'll get flying colour if you copy the whole Namewee's lyrics into the answer sheet.

that question look to simple la

The question is simple ... the answer may range from -infinity to +infinity

Australia would be more realistic.


I only see my Sejarah teacher once or twice a month as she's the principle. I've gone almost 3 months without having Sejarah classes before.

good luck man....for your sejarah

Check last year's paper. About 10 marks of paper 2 was those type of question. It was under the Wawasan 2020 question.

unfortunately the only way to pass our HISTORY paper is to remember what you read.

they like to ask questions that you have to give the date, time, person, place, organization, party, so on so forth.

Gosh ... I hate the topics on Malaysian policy, NEP, NAP, Green Book and etc. So many stuffs to memorize.

I'll avoid to answer these type of questions at any cost!

DEB is important but if you think they'll ask you on all the Dasars, you need your head checked. Buku Hijau is important for checking progress under some Bilik Gerakan Negara, that used to come out in trials my year. Since it didn't, this year? hehe

Around 8A1s usually. Weak in +maths and Sejarah. How about yours?

This post has been edited by Soulsareworthless: Sep 5 2007, 09:24 PM

I have never come across questions asking DATE or TIME. Person, place and organizations, YES. parti politik, YES but date and time? No. Those 4 fellas that bangkang Malayan Union is name of people for example but date and time? care to give examples?

No, they don't ask for dates. Only reasons and effects of a particular historical event.

Never studied before trials. I know it's hard to believe but any of my school mates can testify to that. lol. In trials, had 4 to 5As. lol. SPM got 10As (7'1s and 3'2s)

DATE may appear in MCQ but won't be in essays.

My history tuition teacher used to say that if you couldn't remember the exact date of the historical event. Just give the YEAR in order to show that you really know what you're answering for.

This post has been edited by David83: Sep 5 2007, 09:30 PM

i can't give you examples, my SPM time was more than 10 years ago and i'm sure there were such questions.

k la. not time la. LOL. 4.58pm pada 12hb Ogos 1511........ no such thing about time la. hehe.

and perhaps you misunderstood, or i have misphrased. there definitely are questions that require you to state those things.

if there's not anymore, then pardon my outdated thoughts on SPM Sejarah.

But if you aren't sure, don't pretend to be. Some times, beating around the bush is the safest path. And you can have WRONG points, they'll still have to read through it. Heck, I used to answer 1 more essay than required.

I like questions or chapter on WW1 and WW2. They're very interesting.

Let u know how i did it a few years back...
1) Hafal
2) Do a lot of exercise from workbook
3) Spot questions from teacher...and doing the trial questions from 'adabi?' or any other international pre-spot-paper.
4) Take pre-paper from well-known schools around Malaysia.

Most of the questions that came out match the pre-spot paper and i'm fortunate to get an A1, coz i did it while 'smiling' all the way...
That was in 2000.

My teachers warned us not to be a smart alec to answer more than 4 questions. Unless you have tonnes of time left; 30 to 45 minutes.

Please don't buy Tuition Centre notes. You can refer to them but don't depend on them And do take note that one centre normally starts these seminars and a few weeks later, other centres will start the seminars and have the same SPOTTED question and when you friends start bandingkan the spot question and find out they are all the same, don't assume it's guaranteed to come out. It's one centre copying another. I am working at a centre so I saw the papers and LOL-ed.

use common sense..haha

I had almost an hour or more so

I attended the seminar not because their so called spotted 4D questions. Because my memory is not that good, I'm trying to refresh on what I have learnt in 2 years time.

My 2 friends depended on the spotted questions. Andrew Choo was it? None came out. Mati kao kao. But analysis of question is different. Universal is very good at if for Physics/ Maths and Add Maths. Mr Lee Chin Choy and Mr Lee Cheng Xi. Two of the best teachers I know.

Talking about spotted question ... that day I listened to a Chinese radio (either MyFM or 988), there's a dedicated session for it. I think it was for PMR.

Do more exercises on PASS YEAR papers.

Sometimes it will repeat the same type of question.

Anyone can post the Sejarah PPD paper up here?

concentraring in class, connect the 'story' what teacher told. highlight IMPORTANT points ONLY.. get some workbooks..(i find out 1 workbook i;m currently using is good, there's a bracket telling which page of the textbook i can get the answer) by this, u will read.. and my teacher says, don't study other reference books, study only textbook and nota pintas

1. Target a few chapters
2. Memorize those targetted chapters
3. Write as much as you can, if you don't really remember just write anyways whatever you know, who knows you may get points =D

Simple,just memorise as much as you can.Malaysian Education is all about memorising and how large is your brain's capacity to store all the information.

To make it simple...this 4 topics are important..

1.Islam (tell me otherwise and I'll cack u)
2.Renaissance and Dark Ages (haven't come out in SPM yet)
3.Pre-merdeka Malaya
4.Malaysian Goverment aka PAS NAM and that sort of sh*t

Hmmm yes.. that's is right but the this year my teacher is expecting some topics that has to do with nationalism.

Exam papers aren't allowed to be posted here mate as said in the SPM thread.

Added on September 16, 2007, 5:12 pmAnd now I've gotten kinda tired of studying history for my trials tomorrow. There's just too much to read and remember...

This post has been edited by DreMAx: Sep 16 2007, 05:12 PM

try bouncing a ball when memorising things..It helps

u also can do question for improve ur sejarah

Use mnemonics. It seriously helps, specially for the factors. Anyway, just think of the whole book as a nightime story, just read it like reading a book. It'll go in much easier =)

Cept for those uber boring parts like the dasar dasar -.-" I'm stuck there, its so boring!

All the Islam part after the Khalifah part, I really cant get into my head

history is quiet difficult subject,right?

Added on October 31, 2007, 8:46 pmcan give me tips about how to score A's in history......

This post has been edited by exuera: Oct 31 2007, 08:46 PM

A1 for history? erm... just write down what i think is correct than i get A1. But i do read the text book, i nvr do exercise....

No need to score A. Just aim for credit like me

haha...can oso if u dun wish to get a place in local uni + not-so-nice result ...

Read the text book once. Then read read one more time. After that read it again. Follow that up by reading it again. Having reading it 4 time, I suggest taking the next step of action; read it again. Which obviously needs to be continued with another round of reading.

haha sejarah isn't that difficult. i guess you should probably learn to appreciate why you're studying it and not just try to memorize the whole book. that's seriously impossible.

but i suppose if you really don't have the interest, just read up on important bits like bab tamadun, islam, khalifah, ekonomi bit (form4) and probably how malaya achieved independence and the different parties involved (form5)..

you really don't need to know everything before going in for exam. It's definitely not hard to get an A1 for sejarah SPM. just study and i'm sure you'll do well. anyway, sejarah was one of my favourites those days.. anyway, good luck!

look at the SPMv2 post to get the tips on sej, wont 100% come out, but its good, my teacher predicted almost the same stuff, so i guess it'll be good, narrow down the scope for us, 10 days to go =D

actually i study last minutes ....
But u need to understand a few of the important facts.....
the ISLAM topic sure comes out every years ....
N in my class 70 percent got A1 ....
So.... just focus on the important parts and read it like a story books ...
History is really interesting ...

Sejarah .. this subject i never bothered before.. just reluctantly go through everything when got exam.. does the same to SPM .. and get C5 ..

Always read and understand what you read, then always do exercise. At least 50 question per day. It worx for me.

Added on March 20, 2008, 10:41 pmHmm... just like me, b4 this form 5. But i only get 60-70. Early this year i went for motivation (is the spelling correct??).
They said i need to do a lot of exercise. They recommend to do at least 50 questions per day.
Recently i had a class exam, and i got 92 in history.

Added on March 20, 2008, 10:44 pmI use flashcard and exercise.

i think sejarah is not very hard.I managed to get all A1 during my form 4&5 as well as my spm.....During exam i never read textbook and i also never do any exercise..if tomorrow got exam only the night before i touch my sejarah books..hehe (dont follow this one) =x
i also nvr read the text book but i read my own note for the section A.For essay i bought 2 books full of sejarah essay and i just memorize it all as almost all the essay are there(sry i forgot what's the name of that book =_= )
Actually sejarah is quite fun..u should think that sejarah is an interesting subject and then only u can study without feeling sleep =X
Dont worry too much guys just try ur best and i'm sure u can score =)

there was a ceramah that teach us how 2 score sejarah......
He said the objective question only got 8-12 in total for each of the choices
Eg. the total for the answer is A is about 8-12

He also said the answer will no be 3 continuously same (max. is 2)
Eg. 1.A 2.A 3.A (this will not happen in the SPM)

so i u really dun noe how 2 do just fill the answer in this way
1 A
2 A
3 B
4 B
5 C
6 C
7 D
8 D
9 A
10 A

Hey people, can you buy the Modul Pintas notes from Popular? Because when I asked my friends, everyone gave me the blank look like I was asking something unusual.

Read as a story? or maybe a joke?

dun think can buy at Popular....
my frenz said she got it from other school frenz
well her frenz said it given by the tuition teacher at Johor

This post has been edited by rin_cryvi: Sep 10 2008, 03:27 PM

here is something I can share...

to get marks on SPM exam on history.. read only TEXT BOOK... through your reference book away....

why... the marking scheme is base on the text book.. not reference book....

believe me or not.. I get A1 on history...

just understand the subject la.... if u can link what u study in history from every event. sure can score. do active studying. don't keep reading over and over again. close the book visualize what happen. this that.
if possible write small notes n date by pages. ESP TEXT BOOK!!!!!.
don't need to buy reference, cos its the same material over and over again.
n plus u need to know detailing of the history. now the marking system changed ard right?

This post has been edited by anna.cf: Sep 10 2008, 03:37 PM

cross out the past year questions, do past year analysis....the memorise the rest! it's quite easy if you're hard working...very difficult if you're lazy...
