A Little Studying Advice

    Its been weeks after i got my end of year results and one week after i got my streaming results. To tell you the truth, i did not regret studying hard for my exams.

     I screwed my results up in my mid year exams, i spent most of my time playing computer games and just studied for the sake of studying and not feeling guilty that i did not study. My results dropped tremendously because of that. My L1R5 ( Language one + relevant 5 subjects ) Dropped from 13 to 20. That's right, 7 points. If it was my O levels, you will not know how much 7 points can make a difference. I felt guilty after i got my results. 

      I decided to work very hard from term 3 onwards, and i did. I revised everything that the teacher taught everyday and did my homework regularly. My CA2 results were pleasing with 5 A1s. In a blink of an eye, the exams are just round the corner. That was fast alright! Keeping the promise to myself, i worked very hard and was serious in doing well. The process was tiring but it was worth it. 

       My L1R5 result was a 15, did not recover my full 7 points, but at least a 5. 

         

        I want to give some advice to students out there ( this is based on the Singapore's education system ). Take studies seriously, because in the end, the one who will benefit from all that hard work is not your parents, not your teachers but really, YOURSELF. If you do well for your O or N level, there will be so many opportunity for you and you can choose to do what you like. If you have a passion for design or writing for example, then work towards getting a course related to it. In the end, it all boils down to working hard. The future is in your hands, is just a matter of whether you want the best for yourself or not.
