I am farking farked up

I feel stressed in my studies.. for some reason I can't seem to absorb the info from Social Studies into my brain .. I am scared it will affect my Comb.Humanities results.. the rest of my subjects are just fine ..
I am also very worried about my English... some of you know my command of English is incomprehensible .. L1R5 being the L1 English is most prominent, I can't afford to flunk my English or get grades like C6,C5,B... How am I gonna get into the JC of my dream if I continue to dwell like this ?
Lastly its about my behavior.. I sleep during 6pm~ and wake up usually at 9pm or later to study .... my parents are very worried for me as they think I am sick to study in the wee hours .. and I usually can't sleep afterwards thus my concentration in school dropped..
Someone help me. I don't wish to continue like this. -
For SS, just remember the key points. Then link the key points up to produce the whole picture.Originally posted by dbowie:I feel stressed in my studies.. for some reason I can't seem to absorb the info from Social Studies into my brain ..

Remember the 80/20 rule?
Your text book may have huge chunks of words, but only 20% of the key content is what you needed to score in SS.
To improve your English. There's the usually way.

scoring well in comprehension?
Your sleeping habit must change. Try to sleep in the early afternoon. Take a short nap around 30min. After that you'll feel abit grumpy but you'll feel more energetic after awhile.
You must have 7~ 8 hours of straight sleep before your school. -
For my SS, I think the problem is that I have skipped a lot of lessons .. Whenever there's SS lesson unfortunately I am away...
And I tend to overload my brain with chunks of word in the T/b .. Thanks duckie but I don't know the 80/20 rule ..
No matter it is for comprehension or composition I tend to fail miserably... and Yes I do read the newspapers.
Edit: I have qualms about sleeping for 30mins ... I take time to doze off.. -
For SS, try to seek help from your SS teacher or friends who are good in SS.Originally posted by dbowie:For my SS, I think the problem is that I have skipped a lot of lessons .. Whenever there's SS lesson unfortunately I am away...

Then ask them to guide you on those which you have missed out.
For English now, there's two part to it. Comprehension and Composition.
Try writing one composition per week and ask your English teacher to mark it. Then have a debrief session with her, ask her to show you where you've committed your mistakes. If possible, ask her to suggest how can you improve in the future. Whether it require improvement in the content, grammar, vocab or other parts.
For Comprehension, these 2 parts. The comprehension and summery. Buy comprehension assessment book and do. Always read the passage twice before attempting the questions. As what the word 'comprehension' means, it's testing your ability to comprehend. You must understand what the passage is saying about before you can try the question.
While for the summery part, it's also a skill that you must learn. There is a way of writing summery. Always find the keypoints(usually 15 point), these 15 points will give you the content marks. The rest are vocab and grammar.
My teacher told me that once you've identify the 15 key points, then re-write these point 'In your own word'. Here it's where your vocab is tested. -
I will go buy the English assessments tomorrow ...... thanks alot !

You need to take better control of your life rather than just drift with the way your life is going........
For starters, change your sleeping patterns - this will enable you to maximise your energy. Get help in improving your English language. The better your command of the language, the better your chances of understanding the subjects you study and in faster time too!
