After 'O' levels: Single Intake For JCs (Junior Colleges)

It was reported in Strait Times on the reasons for single intake, the start of Junior Colleges for 2009.

It was mentioned that the GCE 'O' level results will be out in early January so that all year 1 students can report for their respective JCs on 2 Feb 09. No more 1st 3 months of JC!

This also means the following:

Entry to JCs is now solely based on your 'O' level results
Preliminary exams results are perhaps not viewed as important since they would not be used for admission
Every student is admitted at the same time based on a common examinations, fairer ground compared to old system of entry by prelim results.
Attitude towards prelims might change since they are not used, hence the outcome is not important. (It was my first time in my life that some students have time to play sports after a prelim paper; well I don't mean to say that this is totally wrong, in fact it is perhaps a good form of break after a stressful paper. Never during my time did we have the courage to play in the midst of prelims, games come only after the completion of the papers)

So how did you fare for your prelims? Do you like this new policy of JC admission?

Top Revision Strategy I Use On My Students To Help Them Score!

With time being the main concern for revision. When my students complete the basic concepts understanding, it is time for them to really put what they have learnt to application.

Are there times where they are unable to do the questions? Absolutely. Especially so when they just completed the fundamental understanding of the subject. That is where being a Coach, I come into the picture to guide them through simply by asking and asking so that they can think on their own answers through the questions asked. I strongly emphasize on this as isn't this the thinking process you need to go through in the examination hall while doing the paper?

Now, I am also very encouraging as everyone need praises for every little action you have taken! Cheers!

Now is the time where most schools are generously presenting their students with the loads of papers to work on. It is unrealistics to complete ALL the papers especially the flow of the exam papers are endless. So what I get my students to do is to write down the steps for topics which they are very confident in and for topics which they are still not that great yet, step by step solutions are then required.

Based on the poll I have conducted on this website on your bottom right hand side, one of the biggest challenges in learning of Math is that :

This is proven effective revision method for all my students so far; time effective & optimial learning strategy, so I strongly suggest if you are a student, use this method and test it out. Please remember in order to effectively benefit from this way of revision, you need to totally clear on your basic concepts. Yes BASIC CONCEPTS.

To all readers of singaporeolevelmaths,

I apologise for my MIA(Missing In Action) for the last few weeks, I was away for a Holiday Retreat ;revision sessions I meant ;-) but I promise my readers that I must work harder for the next 3 months. 'O' Levels are creeping up real fast, are all Sec 4/5s ready for the challenge?

To students & parents who have called me recently for classes, I'm sorry to have disappointed you. My time schedule is all fully booked at this period. For all Sec 1 - 3s, you may call me again in November 2008 if you want to prep yourself up for 2009 school term. Meanwhile study hard!

I will be back sharing on some of the interesting questions on both A & E Maths so that all my readers regardless of where you are from can benefit from this sharing.

Cheers & Mug On Smartly!
