Upper Sec Students, Do you like your Sub Combi? Why?

Woah. $2 har? Too expensive an opinion liao... Other people one 2 cents leh...Originally posted by Darkness_hacker99:My $2 worth
If you like business sort-of thing, POA is the right subject.
If you like energneering, D&T is the one.
If you like cooking, without saying is F&N
Have art talent, Do Art.
As for Science, Get the Pure ones.
Although Pure and Sub science have 2 differnet name, they actually have chapters in common. For Pure Science, it's just a few more details.
As for combined humanities, one of the subject is Social Studies(Complusory), and the other is Geo/His. In my opinion, Geo is more easier as compared to Hist. If you liked Social Studies in lower sec, mostly you'll like Hist. As for Geo, if you to know about global warming and stuff related to Farming and technology, factors concerning about plantation arigculture, this is the best.
Damn. Literature is compulsory for alll Sec.2s even though we are failing across the level... I think I'll like POA, but my school doesn't offer that... I wish I could drop all humanitaries, I'm not good at any of them.
I heard Physics was difficult. Is it true? I don't think I'll be able to take pure science; I'm not good at science... But I heard that if you are going to JCs later, you still have to go on learning if you took combined...?
I didn't take Social Studies in lower Sec., but I agree that Geography is easier than History. History involves too much dates...

You can't drop humanities, it's one of the required subjects to gain entry into a JC, CI and Poly.
Physics will not be difficult if you like it. Same goes for Chemistry and Biology. But I've to say Pure Bio maybe too hard for some students, as it can be quite detailed and a lot of big big terms to remember. You might like F&N instead of Bio.
If you took combined science for your O Levels, it will be harder for you in JC. You have to study doubly hard because a lot of things are covered in pure science and not in combined science. It's recommended if you wish to go JC, do some reading up before school starts. This will lessen your stress.
Social Studies is not offered in lower secondary, it's a compulsory subject from upper secondary onwards, so you will only touch Social Studies once you are in Sec 3. First few chapters of Social Studies should be easy if you remember your Sec 2 history facts well.
As for Geography, I only can say that Geography Elective is easy because it's mostly common sense. It's even better if you read the newspapers a lot, especially those about manufacturing and farming. I'm not too sure for Pure Geography, I never took it. -
phy can be difficult too.. i have difficulty applying concepts but practice makes perfect!! TYS is and ofrever will be ur best frenz up till JC.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Literature is compulsory for all lower secondary students.

Chem is just understanding concepts and memorizing the diff types of reactions. eg electro chem bah! Bio is alright.. if u have no problem memorizing and vomitting out everything u noe within a shrot time sure ace one!
I took Pure Geo and elect his + SS ... Pure geo is also pure memorizing coz His can be difficult as the techinique in ans. those SBQ can be quite difficult to grasp.
Maths is impt coz add maths is like the fundation for the Maths C in JC though i dun reali noe the syllabus for JC 1 maths now
I took the Mugger combi so if u r a mugger this might be the combi for u!!!
3 sci
pure Geo , SS + elect his
HCL
ENg
2 maths -
Fortunately or unfortunately I'm taking chem and physics for comb. science. I'm an arts elective student.
Social studies is like propaganda lah. I totally hate it. Taking history also. I love history! -
Yes, TYS is indeed your best friend, they are better than any assessment books.Originally posted by kenshin_himura:phy can be difficult too.. i have difficulty applying concepts but practice makes perfect!! TYS is and ofrever will be ur best frenz up till JC.

I don't memorize Chemistry, because most of the time we are in labs doing experiments, so it's easier when doing theory. That's why I ace my Chemistry but fail Physics badly. Luckily never took Pure Chemistry and Physics, if not, I see my results I want to cry liao.
I took the easier combination, although I qualified for the top class. Heng I never choose top class, because my L1R4 already sucks. Got 19 points.

Better than O Levels when students were left scratching their heads when one of the questions was wrong.Originally posted by kenshin_himura:ok bah but sometimes redspot ans veri guai lan...

They cannot answer, point out to teachers and teachers say it's correct. So who's more pro? -
Not much difference, but some of the things you all learn, combined science students don't learn. I learn titration through practicals, but not in textbooks.Originally posted by Chelzea:PUre n combi sci gt nt much diff de in term of content but e qns for pure sci much harder lah
Luckily O Levels no titration, the equipment too tall for me to handle liao.

im taking pure history and i think its a big mistake. wish i chose pure geography instead. history is so much memorising and i dont see the use of it when we leave school. at least you get to read maps and learn why disasters happen in geog. totally regretting it now but the funny thing is history is my best subject now even though i dont like it
for humanities the combination in my school insistst that everyone must take at least one lit whether chinese lit or eng lit , whether elective or pure
so if you take pure geo or pure hist, you end up with elective lit no such thing as pure geog and elec hist or pure hist and elect geog
if you take pure eng lit, you can take elect hist or elec geog
if you take chinese lit which is only available in pure, you can choose elect hist elect eng lit or elec geog
so basically theres no way to escape lit in my school; you either take chi lit or eng lit which in some ways sux -
o levels have titration!Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Luckily O Levels no titration, the equipment too tall for me to handle liao. -

Took sub History...not the pure 1...easier to study than geog IMO...took pure geog, lots of things to memorise lor

My batch don't have lah. If not, I will cry liao. Going to flunk my best subject very badly.Originally posted by jaydunkfull:o levels have titration!
