For struggling Sec 4 students....
Hi all,
(Updated on 21 Jun 2012)
For struggling Sec 4 students, you are not alone in having a not so good impression of chemistry! Many adults I spoke to do not have too good an impression of chemistry.
To improve in Chemistry, first you need to determine in your heart that you want to achieve and get out of this cycle of "not so spectacular results". Be hungry for success and want a change.
Next, ask around your better classmates for their study tips. Some may be willing to share. Get guide books and practice papers. When you study a section in the guide books, try to understand what the underlying concepts it is trying to impart. Are there any shortcut methods? Any quick ways to remember? Any special points to remember and take note in the reactions? What is the main thing that the concept is trying to say? Is there any logic to the concepts?
These topics must be dealt with as they are very important in exams : chemical bonding, acids, bases and salts, metals, speed of reaction and organic chemistry.
**** For Sec 4 students, it is highly important that you start your revision right now. It is getting late!!! Stop procrastinating and start hitting your books! Aim high and you will succeed! Start sowing positive thoughts about yourself.
All the best for your assessments and learning journeys!
