  u need to have a mindset that you're SMART.
  
  trust me i got like 18 last yr? acutally i was just messing around in sch =PPPP
  
  but i got a1 all the way this year. every emath exam.
  
  bloody powerful amath results.
  
  you need the mindset! if you keep tihnking that you're bad then ur results would just remain stagnant.

  etc : revise everyday for motr than 5 hours
  
  clarify my doubts
  
  had a friend beside me to guide.
  
  in the end.........
  
  still get F9!

  U really need to get a tutor...a good one. Understand basic concepts before u practised. Your math can never be improved if u revised by reading. Close ur text and try to reproduce the concepts what u have learn by urself. Richard Feynman once said:Things i cannot create, i do not understand. If u are able to reproduce the concepts, then start to practise to enhance ur understanding as well as ur solving problem techniques.
  I used to suck big time in math in lower sec, but I was top for both A and E in mi sec sch at end of sec 4 and now I am in nus studying maths and physics. My email add is [email protected] send mi the problems that u do not understand. I will try to help. Once u begin to like math, the joy is really tending to infinity like a dirac delta function. I repeat: pls get urself a good tutor (not mi of course). Spend some money for the sake of ur future. A math in o level is the most basic thing u need if u wish to go on to higher level learning in all branches of science.

  wow, that function is fluctuating like mad between -1 to 1 as x tends to zero. Limit dont exist but thank godness it has both a supremum and an infimum,i.e it is bounded .....haha a little joke of mine.... U are definitely as cool as ur name is...see ya

  yah man... keep working on it... even ah bengs need their maths to count their bookie odds and calculate how much vcds/dvds sales they have. Maths is important in life!

  no flirting though.

  mac is definitely not a good studying location unless you have 100% focus. The noise level is way too high, and the food smell gets in the way most of the time.
  
  Math is an extremely easy subject to score in and is just a matter or u want or not. Practising is one thing, but understanding is crucial too.
  
  Start with the very basic and slowly climb up, you will get it one day. If you have any math qn, u can ask me, lol, math my fav subject.

  What I used to do was for example if I do ten questions and got one answer wrong, I will repeat to do the ten questions again. This is to reinforce me to do that one answer right and also never do the other nine questions wrong.
  
  This is crazy but it works. Your subconscious mind will memorize. I did it and jumped from C5/6? to A. I redo a paper each time on the 10-year series till I finished the whole book. And I did it in just one month. Now can you afford to punish yourself like this? My tution kid can't take this boot camp Maths training like I do... Needless to say, he failed.

  Maths is just practice.
