and its posted because of wat he said.Originally posted by sgboy2004:some pple wanna show off here by boasting their grades...haiz
to show that it is doable and crying is for the weak. of course, think watever u like (your brains, afterall), but keep in mind that theres nothing to show off if a person gets B.
i have reach the lowest point of my life and if you two reach that part, you both would want people to understand or what instead of talking nonsense.. -
dont give up yet
-
Why u think of it as bringing urself down? u know those successful ppl are those who're never afraid to ask when they dun understand.Originally posted by meltz:hmm my maths sux and i hate maths also ..

It'd be a shame if u dun clarify ur doubt.
Neways, for O level maths, there's really nothing but practise and keep asking questions. Make sure u get ur concepts right before trying questions.
Coz if not u'd find urself blindly doing and getting frustrated each time u get stucked -
i'm not going to give up afterall
just now my friend came and go through with me my maths prelim papers, realise that i had quite a lot of careless mistakes
and yes, Ristar, crying does not help, and i did not spend whole day wimping about my maths paper, just tears in my eyes when i heard my results
practise on tys just now, out of every 10 qn, i got 7 correct -
i find this a setback because when i was in sec 3 Express, i drop into NA because of maths. now all my friend had graduated, i am in a class where its hard for me to get close to them, know them for 1 year only, while they know each other for 4-5 years
all my close friends had gone out of this school, and all of them are busy, thats why its hard to contact them and ask for help, i have to depend on my maths teacher.
i am not some teenage from 16-17 that create problem just because of staring incident, or some other things which got them into a fight and think that they can conquer the world
i am talking about maths, which is so important in this modern society, which will decide where will i go in the future, of course including other subjects
i have no problems with english, chinese, humans and maybe science. -
for all bros and sis who gives me advises, i sincerely thank you. thank you for all the things you all said to me. u guys are great!
and for people who talk without thinking here, i call all of you thrash-talkers. if by posting something stupid here makes your day, so be it, go ahead. you should be ashame of urself if you are older than me, but thinking still so immature.
right assure for all the thrash-talkers, i won't show any of u any respect from now on, but even if u have problems and post here, i won't even talk nonsense.
for now, i got to go carry on with my studies, won't be online so often from now on... I Won't Give Up! -
ure just not practising or doing things the right way.
u nid someone to teach u how to study the right way. -
yeah, deadman... if you don't know, ask... that's the first step in learning
try to see if anyone can teach you from first principles.. if you grasp that, almost everything else falls into place with some practise..
good luck!
-
well for one just ask your teacher what you are doing wrong.
and maybe get a godo tuition teacher to coach you for this 1 month -
now i know u always jump building when u got something depressed.........so ke lian.....Originally posted by Seth35:Erm...Why not jump off a building... den when ur in heaven..god tells you you've passed...

I got somemore to share here.
when i was in sec sch donkey years ago, I flunked almost every single A MAths papers.
getting straight F9 was v common and if I passed by half mark, I could go so happy the whole days..
so from sec 3 to 4, I kept getting F9 and sometimes ZERO for test papers that teacher told me I could bring back home for mother to cook eggs for dinner liao.
But still i didnt give up hopes even if I left 1 month or so.
in the end, i scored B3 for a maths in prelims
but then i downgraded to c5 in o's due to my heavy attempt to bring my chemisty grade from F9 to a better grade so lack of practises again.
when i go poly, after 2 yrs of not touching maths in NS, i tried not to repeat my mistakes again, and did every single qn in tutorials
then from that time onwards, i no longer fear MAths as I know as long you got practise hard enough, Maths not so scary actually. -
aiyo.. practise more and actually, when you do enough.. you don't even need to study for it because you just need to memorise the formulas
i skip algebra formulas thats why my paper 1 fail so badly
and check for careless mistakes, last year my maths at this point also F9 then my tutor force me do crash course then I got a C6 for O lvls, can 1 la.. lai lai, i tutor you for $50 -
eh, i also repeat at O lvls leh.. =_=Originally posted by Dead_Man_Inc:i find this a setback because when i was in sec 3 Express, i drop into NA because of maths. now all my friend had graduated, i am in a class where its hard for me to get close to them, know them for 1 year only, while they know each other for 4-5 years

i think like CoolMyth said, the key is to know why this goes there why that goes here
reason it even if you know its not true but eventually you still get the answer
but paper 1 was shiat. eh bro, you got so many questions you can do while I can't
means that you are there, just that you need to force it out -
maths is through constant practise one..
i got E for A levels prelims, and i did maths overnight almost everyday. I will start from 7pm after dinner, sit at my desk and do do do practise practise practise till 7am.
i think it continued for a few weeks, den in the end A levels I got an A for Maths C.
I did the same for O levels too. I finished the whole 10 yr series twice (for E maths), and i also got A1..
so, just continue to practise hard... Prelims usually harder than actual exams.. dun scared k! Jia you. -
maths prelims are always harder than what you can expect for the o levels.
that being said it doesnt give you the excuse to be complacent . Start by trying to do EVERY single question in your TYS . Once you're at a decent level do the prelim papers of top schools like acsi , ri , chinese high , river valley etc . These have reputations for having exceptionally hard papers . If you can get 60 for any of these papers you're pretty much guaranteed a B for o levels . Anything is possible for O levels , you've got a month jsut focus and study . I got F9s from secondary 3 all the way till prelims for emath and i ended up with a B3 for my o levels ( has anyone else noticed so many people keep saying they got b3 ? ) . IF you can afford it get a tution teacher . Get ur school teachers numbers and call them from home as you do the work or ask a friend thats good to help you out. Dont waste time travelling to school and back , your bound to waste valuable study time in between
just work hard and good luck man
cheers -
besides do question then check answer, you have to time yourself in mock tests....
like doing paper 1 (all questions, within allocated time), then check all the answers...
this gives:
1). you confidence in doing the questions
2). let you train on your time allocation skills
3). reach out on wider topics...then a few topics only...
but do this only when you have revised most topics and is ready for mock tests.... -
oh yah, study with the right people....not those that do one question, then very happy liao...then chat chat chat.....
practise with friends who are good in maths, so that when you don't know, you can immediately ask or see their solutions....study with hardworking people. -

I was a poor student in maths..calculus to be exact..got 13% nia!
To improve, need to practice smart smart, not hard hard. Read through past exam papers then you can 'spot' particular patterns.
Good thing to have a caring and helpful teacher also. Make friends with the maths nerds in your classes. Stroke their ego abit and they are very willing to help you one. -
I got 20/100 for Emaths too!Originally posted by Dead_Man_Inc:I failed my maths prelims, overall 15/100
I did seriously practise and understand. I practise and get this grade, I didn't practise and get this grade too
Maths fail, I can't get anywhere, to poly or what
Left 1 month, how to improve? That time I saw this results, I feel like crying, but I can't, because I am in school.
Am I a goner? -
do TYS like siao. can 1.
-
ok, know what to do already
thanks all
