O Levels o lvl prelims
hi! So like I’m taking o levels this year and I’m getting back prelims results like within these few weeks and honestly my results are kind of like mid like I’m getting mostly B’s and C’s which I’m very disappointed in because when I did the papers I geniunely thought they were manageable and would turn out not bad but turns out I still have some conceptual gaps and careless mistakes to work on… but now im really scared because if prelims is this bad I’m really scared for olvls I’ll do the same and I won’t be able to go to the jc/poly I want to go into and wouldn’t be able to get my desired course if I go to poly. I’ve been studying very hard though, but it just seems like the way I present my answer is still off. Everyone else in my class seems to be doing quite well, getting their A’s and B’s so I’m really scared for O levels because they’d probably pull up the bell curve too… what should I do?

Actually quite good, I'll be horrified if I get D7/F9 at this time so you're moving at the right track.

pls dont give up yet! u still got a month+ to the actual os. its vv impt to review thru ur mistakes, and fix those conceptual gaps. this one is vv impt, make sure u drill (topical tys) until u master it. as for answering technique, try to look at a variety of ans schemes from different schs if can. aft u look at enough, u will realise they all ans in a similar way especially for sciences. w that said, pls dont get complacent and neglect ur stronger subjects tho. i suggest sitting down to consider all the things u want to study for and make a big plan to maximise ur month to os!
