Hmm talking about football, i watched semifinal match between Spain & Portugal. I think Spain deserved to win as they have shown the right character as a champion ..but i would still wish underdog Portugal to win the penalty :(
In football, the second half period can be so crucial & very decisive. It is either u win or the other way round. Of course if it's a draw..the players are given an extra time & penalty is the last change to change the outcome. But even if extra time is given most of them are already exhausted . Only those who are physically & mentally strong can withstand the mounting pressure.
What football has to do with our SPM discussion??Hmm..why not we discuss something beneficial that can be learned from these football matches. Let's put it this way..to all Form 5 student,you have now entered the second half period of 2012. You have only few weeks to finish your syllabus and to revise everything u'd learned in form 4.. Then it is time to face your trial exams.U should by now have analyzed all mistakes that you have done in the "1st half period"..which is in your last mid-year exam.Please learn from those mistakes & not to repeat them again. For those who've failed, u might need a good coach to boost your strength in order to show improvement in the second half period.
The point here is u have not much time left to prepare for your trial exam. Every minute is like a gold..in fact you must treasure every second of the time left. For my student, i'm expecting them to do plenty of exercises on their own. I 'm suremost of u are familiar with this phrase..PRACTISE MAKES PERFECT.Don't wait till last minute..u need to practise doing exam questions.
Every week u have to do lots of questions. Be warned that common mistake among student..they tend to read..read, and read..but they tried very few questions. By right u should try all type of questions every week. What i meant by all type of exam question is that..u should attempt paper 1, perhaps 50 questions per week. U also need to try question in section A paper 2, section B and section C. But don't forget to try some section A & section B questions on paper 3 as well.
After this trial exam..u 'll be given an extra time to change your final outcome.I hope by that time..u are still mentally strong :)
Let s pray that your trial results will provide the right momentum for u to do better in your SPM. Wish u all the BEST
