More homework?? No time lah..

Today i wanna write something which i think has to be shared with all  the SPM 2011 candidates..

I 'm the type of who loves to give extra exercises to my students in a form of homework. However every year i face the same problem i.e most student seems not to bother doing extra physics exercises especially from tutors. Common excuse i received will be something like this: " No time lah sir, school homework also havent finished. Other subject also have homework" I told them,  previous students took more than 10 subjects, but they still managed to get  A in all subject. They wont get such results if they didnt do exercises in an early stage.  They also have 24 hours a day, just like all of us. The huge different is they knew how to manage their time effectively.

Most student seems do not know what they want in SPM. They have no direction or clear objectives. In the end, they blame teachers as an excuse for getting bad results.I may sound a bit harsh, but for me those who love to give excuses are 1 step closer to become a looser. I do not want u to become one.

.

However, if u are among these types of students, then u should start to manage your time properly. Have a clear objectives. One of the objective is to get good results for physics & other subjects.
In order to get excellent results u need to do tonnes of exercises. U shouldn wait until last minute..then baru nak buat exercises. If u keep going like this, then u shouldn't have complained if u still don't understand the physics subject. In fact, the homework itself should be treated as part of your revision program. Don t do the homework just to satisfy your teachers. Instead you should try to understand and concentrate on all concepts involved in that discussed topics.

This week most of  u are blessed with 1 week holiday. So dont waste this opportunity to do revision. Do concentrate on your weakest physics' topics. Don't waste too much of your precious time on TV, PS2 or facebook :) Have a nice holiday and a happy chinese new year to our chinese friends.

New Year & SPM 2011

Hi everyone..salam new year to all..

Usually, every new year we'll do all we can to eliminate our bad attitude and start life anew. Yeah..its time to kick out our bad habits, especially for form 5 students. If u are one of them, i personally think that u have to seriously think of your SPM preparation. In simple word, u must plan and start work on it.

In last SPM , i did receive some feedback among the candidates on physics paper. Most of them said paper 2 was a bit harsh, especially to those who relied too much on spot questions. For your info, its becoming a trend for last couple of years that so many tips (spot questions) from tuition center or from the net were circling around among the students. For those studied last minute, they were too dependent on these so called spot questions. But sometimes SPM physics can be so unpredictable..even last minute tips can't help them much.

However the feedback was very positive for those who made early preparation. These group of students were different,.. they didn't rely too much on last minute's tips or spot questions. They had covered most of the topics in early stage. In other words, they were very well prepared before the exam. As a result, they can answer the paper with confident.

How about u guys, my dear SPm candidates?? In which category will u be in next November 2011?? If u  are among the second group, then u'll be smiling after the exam :) 
Otherwise, If u fail to plan, then i'm sure u dont want to be among those who is planning to fail  his or her SPM.  
I think..Its time to change before its toooo LATE!  Start to think positive! Everything seems to be fine once u start to act positively. Lets make a wake up call!
I wish u all the best in this new year :)
