What Matters Most

Most students should have completed your common tests or in the midst of completion.

How have you performed? Are you happy with your results? Are you upset? Or you don't bother at all?

What matters most is perhaps not what you have scored, but moving forward, what do you do with the outcome?

Every test or examination has a lesson for us to learn. Do you sit down and think through the lessons taught or you simply forget about it?

3 Questions to learn the lesson well:

  1. Ask yourself, what are some of the good things you have done? (You start preparation early, you clarify all your questions before the test, you did your assignments consistently, you manage your time well, you handle the questions with calm and confidence)
  2. What did not go right this time? (Slept too late the night before your test, you didn't put in any effort, your 'what's-the-great-deal' attitude, you didn't finish the questions due to poor time planning)
  3. What is one action you would work on to improve upon on your next test or examination?

Regardless how you have fared for your test, there are definitely good things you have done, it just takes time to realize and acknowledge.

So, what you have learnt?

2010 GCE 'O' Level Examinations Timetable

I was looking at this year 'O' level examinations timetable and observed the following:

Unlike last year where first official week is reserved for English, E-Math & A-Math, we see a 'scary' schedule in which A-Math Paper 2 is combined with Pure Chemistry Paper 2 or Combine Sci Paper 3 on the same day. (29 Oct 2010)

E-Math Papers are scheduled separately on consecutive days afternoons. This arrangement is just like 2009 timetable. Candidates need to keep themselves in peak performance despite the 230pm paper.

2010 Timetable 29 October

A-Math: Spot the Mistake in this Logarithm Equations

I gave my Secondary 4 students 1 revision question per week. The recent one I marked was on the topic of Logarithms (the fresh-killer topic for many Secondary 3).

Logarithm-error

Did you spot the error? (It's a give-away if you observe clearly)

Do this question and share your answer(s) in the comment section.

I look forward in hearing from you.

E-Math: Summary of Cumulative Frequency & Box Whisker Plot

I have previously written 2 posts:

E-Math: Drawing and Understanding of Cumulative Frequency Curve (Step by step working included)

In this post, I have used an examination question to illustrate how to draw a cumulative curve using the information from the cumulative table, how to use the curve to find median weight, how to find percentile.

E-Math: 5 Features of Box and Whisker Plot You Must Know

A summary is given on the essential parts of a Box and Whisker Plot. Do you know there's a difference between interquartile range and range? Do you know how to read the upper & lower quartile, how to read the media?

Both are under the big topic of Statistics which is the most fun chapter as it relates really closely to what we see everyday.

Have fun!
