Ask your GP teacher for reading material -- s/he is somewhat familiar with you and should be able to advise you more effectively than any of us here. Private tuition isn't necessary, but tutors can sometimes cover areas of misunderstanding/ignorance that school teachers can't spot.

If you treat GP like a H2 subject (I think it should be given H2 status by the SEAB, the demands are ridiculous) you'll probably be able to push your grades up significantly.

Good luck!

Yeah, I found this MOE ECG Counselling.

OP can consider the poly route. Application opens in August for October intake.

I can't really help you pick your decision however if you are deciding to choose between jc or poly, you must first ask yourself what job would you not mind doing for the next 20 years. If you have some idea of what you want to be, I suggest taking poly. As for choosing the poly courses, talk to an ecg counsellor.over here. You might want to book asap. However for Jc, you got take into account that you will have to studying subjects like english math sci and mt for another 2 years and at a higher level. If you are able to take into account what you will go through and are able to work hard for 2 years, then you should go jc. If you want more hands on work then I suggest going to poly

I've not attended interviews from those med schools, so can't comment on their style of questions. either way congrats on being offered an interview.

I've not heard of online asynchronous vs live - these sound like new terms that emerged due to the pandemic changing communication / interview methods. for questions like this you could e-mail the admissions office to clarify

different medical schools have different priority with regard to the questions they ask. one book I found helpful is this. Picard has come up with all sorts of possible questions. I don't know how much time you have from now till the interview, but it's worth writing down brief responses to each. after a while, you will find yourself having some anecdotes / evidence that can be applied to more than one question. remember these and use them in the interview where appropriate.

some people craft unique responses to every single question. this puts them at risk of having a mind-blank during the interview and forgetting their spiel. having an overall outline (according to question theme) and several handy anecdotes is more fool-proof, imo.

do you mean biology content during the interview itself? I really doubt so, as the fact that you have been offered a spot means you should have passed their academic pre-requisites (which includes bio). that said, if during your interview you mention something very scientifically incorrect, or you show complete ignorance of a concept you should be aware of (e.g. photosynthesis), they might take a note of that. so definitely don't need to revise bio content, as long as you've not forgot them all since A levels

all the best

check your posture! i found that i tend to hunch a lot so there's a lot of tension on my neck and shoulders + i also get eye strain while look at a computer for long so i also ended up having lots of headaches. make sure your chair allows you to comfortably sit up straight so your neck isn't sticking out like a turtle haha and if your eyes feel like they cmi, take a quick break by looking somewhere far away (that's not another screen). if you feel like the blue light from a computer screen hurts your eyes you can download a software (i use f.lux) to make your screen orangey in colour, or get blue-light filtering glasses. jiayous!

I just realised my earlier links says its out of stock.

Might sound cliche but I find that using the Forest app helps me a lot (kinda fulfilling to see the forest grow haha). I work in blocks of 25min + 5 min rest so it helps me to stay motivated. If it helps you can try watching those "study with me" videos too!

Assignments wise, I just started using notion (note: I'm not sponsored to say this HAHA) last semester and I think it's not bad. Plus, it's free for students: https://www.notion.so/product/notion-for-education

Hii for nyp there is the student email. You can access your email through Microsoft Outlook or the web browser http://www.outlook.com/mymail.nyp.edu.sg

Your username should be {AdminNumber}@mymail.nyp.edu.sg and the password should be the one you have created during your enrolment.

Congratulation to everyone no matter what the result is! Uni applications are real right now and for those who want to organize their life and make uni applications a little easier and organised, I have created a "University Applications" Notion template that would help you plan out you university applications! Hope it helps

If you're worried that you aren't able to do the work, then talk to someone in the company who you trust and share your concerns, maybe they can help guide you on how to make your life a bit easier. internships are kinda a bit like a weather forecast, you may have an idea of what's to come but there could be unexpected work.

And, if you want some good video editing software, I can recommend Da Vinci Resolve, you can download a free version. https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/

one thing i wish i would have discovered in sec sch is anki (https://apps.ankiweb.net/) a flash card program that utilities spaced repetition to help you memorise extremely effectively

but tbh i’d only recommend using it if you have the time to dedicate to learning how to use it (took me about a month or so, but if you have prior experience with HTML CSS coding then it will take much less time) BUT you can make it through sec 4 even without anki or similar software bc there really isn’t that much to memorise haha (for reference: IP student, took pure chem, bio, amath, emath, full lit, geog, french, eng, etc.)

keep studying regularly (but please don’t burn out so early in the year! i know a lot of people who did and it was really sad to see) do the homework you believe is important (won’t recommend you do all of it haha bc tbh some of it isn’t worth your time) spam TYS for certain subjects, and finish studying at least a month - 3 weeks before Os (or your equivalent exams) then just keep revising till then :-) good luck!

A level Chemistry (especially Singapore H2 Chemistry but UK A level Chemistry as well) is increasingly more about fun & exciting problem solving using your IQ, rather than blind memorization (Cambridge will ensure a fair spread of questions of varying difficulties, memorization questions only make up a small % of the overall score).

Check out this 2013 SRJC Prelim H2 Chem Qn (be sure you click on 'next slide' to see all 8 pages) to see what I mean by "fun & exciting problem solving using your IQ" rather than blind memorization, which you hate.

Abit more than 1300 but you can check out the acer swift x rtx 3050ti, long battery life, ryzen 5800u, 512gb storage and it has space to add another ssd inside it. Basically powerful enough for anything you might want to do and it's still 14 inches and lightweight. The price fluctuates from time to time, got mine at slightly less than 1400 although now it seems to be 1500. You can pay attention to it and see if it gets cheaper if you're interested

It really depends on the number of hours you're actually learning the material (in classes). For example, if you spend about 4 hours a day on classes, then 6-8 hours of total studying (including the class hours) is pretty reasonable. Then again, it depends on each person and how fast they are able to grasp the given material, since intelligence (in the particular domain) DOES affect how quickly you can learn.

The best study habits I've had is doing active recall and interleaving the subjects I learnt. For example, me studying something that requires a lot of memorization will require continuously reviewing in my head what I've learnt, while also studying a different subject every 1-2 hours to interleave the materials and reinforce my learning.

All the best, OP!

P.S.: This book might help.

Firstly, the video you listed doesn't even test genshin. Secondly, the minimum requirements for genshin on pc are quite high, as you can see here: https://genshin.mihoyo.com/m/en/news/detail/5284 The minimum requirement for GPU is a GT1030. The iris xe graphics are barely comparable to that, as you can see here: https://www.notebookcheck.net/GeForce-GT-1030-Desktop-vs-Iris-Xe-G7-80EUs_7996_10395.247598.0.html Thus claiming that it can run at 60fps on high settings is absurd.

Sci-Hub - Provides access to journal articles for free

Zotero - Citation machine. Helps to save your references and generates both in-text citation and bibliography (End of text references). It has multiple citation methods (e.g MLA, APA, etc etc)

Just know that you should learn the command line if you want to come into Linux, it’ll be very handy.

Here, follow my lead and Enter the Void :) (or use PopOS for a more friendly starting distro if you feel intimidated by the command line)

pic ^ what I meant is like under this sub-topic "coasts" there were previously like 20 cards, split between "new" and "due"but now it shows 0 on both columns, so when will these 20 cards reappear for me to review again?

>However, if you take a look at the world, most of the best products are the ones that are paid.

It's well know that in most cases newer editions of physics books are published every few years but have the exact same content, and the problems are simply scrambled up. This is to encourage students to buy the newer editions. A couple decade old book may cost around 20 USD, but the latest may cost at least 90 USD, for the same book!

>For example, in your case, you can maybe come up with some sort of worksheets where random situations will be given with general principles and problem solving techniques, so people like you can practice those and have a greater understanding of the topic. :)

I worry that there'll be too many notes and stuff like that. People might get overwhelmed. Also, there are already books on them (surprise!), and your website might become a compilation of unintegrated notes like brilliant.org, not very good for self-study.

Maybe we should have a voting kind of system? So we can have the best notes come at the top. But how do we know that people actually voted accurately?

And I'd like to point out that I don't really liked collaboration with other people in writing a good book, the organisational stuff gets out of hand and it'll not be a very good pedagogical book. But we certainly can exchange idea on how to explain certain topics well and our experiences. I don't know, maybe you can start up a website and try. Tip - it gotta be a little more unconventional than the norm, so that it stands out!

I think it's better to fill it up. Personal statement is a good way to demonstrate how you differ from other candidates and list your achievements. So, it would be a good addition anyway.

The character count is just 500. If your question is short, then please use the weekly thread.

You can use sites like ilovepdf to combine multiple pdf files into 1 pdf file. You can also contribute your exam papers here.

I used to use an app: https://www.forestapp.cc/ to try to help.

I'll turn it on together with a friend and study together, both motivating each other to keep the study session going.

Ahh, honestly I only used Google docs & the Notes app on iPhone! On gdocs, I liked to play around with various headings and the “table of contents” function, which made note-taking a lot neater. If anyone else can advise, please do!! Otherwise, here’s a list I found online: https://zapier.com/blog/best-note-taking-apps/

I'm not a psychologist but do you know Ayn Rand? You might find some parts of her writings useful. Here are some examples.

" For the New Intellectual " https://www.amazon.com/New-Intellectual-Philosophy-Rand-Anniversary/dp/0451163087/ref=pd_aw_sim_14_2/141-3295370-0666864?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=0451163087&pd_rd_r=9695d2f6-ef68-4694-8384-21b8f105fc17&pd_rd_w=BVpng&pd_rd_wg=baCBR&am...

" The Virtue of Selfishness " https://www.amazon.com/Virtue-Selfishness-Fiftieth-Anniversary/dp/0451163931?ref_=d6k_applink_bb_marketplace

All the best.

Hi, I'm not a Nyjc student, but I have talked to computing lecturer there when I visited their open house a few days ago. From what I have gathered from the lecturer , the test is mainly about your ability to think logically. No prior programming experience is required, but some of the questions will have pseudocode (basically fake code that should be easy enough to understand).

Of course, if you're worried about the test, you still have some time to learn some programming. There are some free apps like SoloLearn which you can use to teach yourself the basics of programming. To begin, you should probably start with Python 3, since it's quite easy to pick up and from my understanding, you're going use it quite often in H2 Computing.

Of course, I'm a JAE student just like you, so do take what I've told you with a grain of salt. It would be better if an actual student JC student were to answer your question, but I hope that I was able to help.

I know that students aren’t able to use fingerprint password and accessed certain websites/apps (unless you own a VPN program like ExpressVPN). Not being able to change desktop wallpaper is something unheard of because majority of us (RP alumni) did not face such issue. Even removing the three user guides and reappearing is also something unheard of.
