The secret to success
Ok I know, this is probably the ironic thing coming from me seeing as my results don't show greatness. But seriously, just becuase I don't show it, does not mean I don't know the methods. Its just because I'm lazy to follow them:P.
The first method, memorize like there's no tomorrow. This is especially good for subjects like chemistry, biology, economics and geography. Reason being, these subjects have a fixed style of writing and answers. You don't have to understand why it happens but only need to know how to answer it. That's the advantage of these subjects and the main reason why most people take these subjects.
The second method, practice like there's no tomorrow. This now, is especially good for subjects like math, physics, General Paper and other languages. These require constant practice to help retain the skills and knowledge of how to apply skills learnt. This is also good because it helps to familiarize yourself with the many different forms of a question and this is an asset for math.
The third, love the subject you do. When you like the subject you are doing, you tend to do better at it then other subjects you do not like. This is useful for the sciences as they require a liking for them to enable better marks. This holds true for physics because unless you like the subject, you tend to have a mental block for it and you will never appreciate the subject to its entirety and you will tend to do badly at it.
The last method I can give to all those who can't use the above three. The last is go and see a teacher or a friend who is good at the subject. They would be the best help for you if you can't understand it. Of course, don't be ridicules and ask them to teach you the whole topic. They would sooner kick your butt then help you do that.
Well that's all for this week. Will get back to this next week after exams.
