    • Which subjects do people score most  and least for O lvls?

       

      My guessing is; in descending order of most to least

      Art

      DNT/Home Econs/F&N

      POA

      Combine Science

      E Maths

      English

      A maths

      MT

      and least Combine Humans

      for pure sciences

      most Chem then Bio followed by Physics.

       

       

      this is not mine personally but based on OTHER people's opinions eg from school and what people say.

    • depends on what the person is good at.

      for the mathematically inclined, math, physic and chemistry, which involves alot of abstract concepts and calculations, will be their forte.

      for the humanities inclined, the humanities and the languages may be their forte.

      but imo, the most scorable subjects should be math and physics, the calculation-focused subjects. the marking is absolute, unlike in the humanities, where there may be grounds for contention in your essay.

    • Well, depends

      FOr me the hardest to score will be English, chemistry

      MT o level i got a B3

      F&N wise, u need to have a coursework that is damn solid, cos when they benchmark urs against those from better schools, u wont get shifted down. The place to score for F&N will be the section A and B, mostly just memorise and vomit out. and applying wad u learn. The essay is sometimes hard, depends on ur luckicon_sad.gif

      Combine humans is SS and elective....hard to say also

  • is giving away...

      yup. our teacher once told us that to score A1 for E-maths, your marks will have to be around 90. that got many of us worried at that time. but yea, most of the people in my class ended up with A1s. I think perhaps the 90 marks is gotten after moderation?

      for my batch, I heard that our English was really bad. Highest was only around 60plus, I heard? So they have to moderate like crazy so that there was a sensible amount of A1 students.

      bro, it boils down to the student. but if "Let the students attitude = constant" (=.
      i would say easiest to score is

      DNT/Home Econs/F&N - teacher guide student on project from the first day.
      followed by

      Combined subjects - content easier.
      then,

      Pure subjects.

       

      but if look at real trend, pure students tend to score better. Cos a underlying factors, hmm like teachers teaching top 3 sci classes. Students very 'on'. Geezz miss those days in schools.

      Eagle my favourite subjects include E/A maths and Combined Science especially Physics.

      E maths, A maths and Physics are rightfully applied mathematics and considered to be part of the natural sciences. There is no room for BS, straight to the point. Easy to score if you understand the questions and apply the concepts. Very rigid.

    • from what i observe both at A and O lvls, maths is the most common A subject, when someone has As 955 of the time tht subject is maths, maybe because singaporean students comes out as one of the tops in mathematics???
