                                                     Term 2-Secondary 1      


     Hello all, term 2's ended, just like that! Remember my first post? Time flies. It's very true indeed. In here, I'm going to summarise my overall learning experience in term 2 and some goals I'm planning to set next term. So let's get started!
     Firstly, this is the first term we are having a common test. I feel the results were satisfactory, at least better than the mini-test we had in term 1. A1, yes it is. So for next term's target, I'll like to maintain this standard, and even do better than I expect.
     Having started my planned studying on MRTs, I hope to take this a step further.  For next term, I hope to start giving myself mini-breaks in between work . I feel working is better when sufficient rest is given instead of my crash course sessions I have up till when my CCA's start(at 4 30pm). With this, I hope I'll be able absorb more from what I'm learning.
    Now to some areas of improvement in my work. Similar to term 1, one of the main mistakes is carelessness. Sigh.So that's still something I have to work on. Others I feel include science process skills, or in other words, the way of answering science questions. To make concrete steps, I hope to start going through some science process skill books and most importantly, make my own collection of notes for keywords commonly found in a type of science question. With die-hard memorisation,  even though lots of hard work is needed, at least I can be confident that I would be able to answer questions the way teacher wants it to be.

                                                     Term 1-Secondary 1      

     Time flies really fast.In the blink of an eye, term 1 is almost coming to an end. Well, in this blogpost,I will talk about my thoughts about this term.Overall,I feel this term has been an eye-opening experience,with concepts and thoughts that go deeper than the normal boring textbook, and new ideas and inventions that adds colour to the learning of Science.
     This term,we had a mini Science test on our understanding of worksheets 1-7.Personally,I feel that it was a total failure! Out of 25 marks,I only got 17.5! That is an A2,which is not acceptable as it was such an easy test. Well,what's done is done. After reflecting on my horrible results, the biggest problem I have is carelessness.I feel that the best way to solve this is to focus more and work faster to check through the paper more times during the test.Some other minor problems are due trick questions with very close answers.Even though these type of questions can't be avoided, I can still minimise errors if I scrutinise it meticulously.

     With all these in mind,I hope to work towards an A1 in Science and even be exempted from it. This can be done,in my opinion, if I use every small amount of time that can be squeezed out from rides on the MRT, or any free time in between lessons or CCA to study the past days' notes and work. Also, more importantly, I need to be more careful when doing work!
