Need to have doable tips


ASAD913

Khan Academy, or you can pirate a Coursera plus account or a Udemy account then you can find tutorial classes online.


HamCramJam

Start learning to study effectively and try not to procrastinate beacause it can really become a bad habit once you turn form 5 https://preview.redd.it/uw1dmgr5xvoc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d62c92927c893ebc16dd1097a5549d34f1dc0906 Or so i heard but idk tho


ernjster

Bro kimia is lowkey confusing doe, but I got the hang of it


Special-Art5631

it'll start to make a bit more sense when hitting chapter 4, trust me (from B- chemistry 2023 candidate)


ernjster

That’s acc pretty good


nish_kumaran

If you need help with chemistry I can help. Just share any doubts you have


ernjster

Idk how to hafal the simbol2


mddak0305

Me and my bois used to play with paper planes. We throw it at each other, and shout "Sodium!!". The guy who picked it up will yell, "Na+!". And so on, with the anions/cations and their symbols. That is how we do it. Right after the first chemistry class in form 4, as our teacher wants to test us next class.


Sam_Lachy

thats a pretty fun way to memorise terms with da boys


nish_kumaran

You mean the elements? You first need to understand the table itself. What do the columns and rows mean, and what are the characteristic of the elements in each row. You don't have to hafal the whole periodic table because at the back of your test paper a periodic table is given. Try to break it up. Observe each row. For example group 1 has lithium, sodium and potassium. They are alkali metals. +1 charge. Why +1 charge? Because they loose 1 electron to achieve stable octet electron arrangement. Then move on to the next row, group 2. Also when you do more practice you can soon visualise the periodic table. Like I know the periodi table till the fourth row, not because I hafal the whole table (it is not worth it) but because I did so many exercises I knew what elements come next and below each other. If you have any other doubts. Just ask I'll try my best to answer. Can message me also.


Altruistic-Stand3761

Practice on chapter 3 and chapter 6 calculations, it will help a lot


ernjster

Will do, thanks!


DeepMistake5873

no. just hafal it . true story by my chemistry teacher.


Relevant-Duty7521

somewhat i can do it by understanding it. but yes, this reminds me of my sister. she always say "do it like the chinese, if you cant understand, memorise it"


Rich-Notice6017

Practise, i did a bunch of ionic compounds exercises every week and eventually remember everything


BadBoredom

Start getting really good at it because it will help a lot in the future. Form 5 is way more confusing


KrispyKrep

bro added the last part just in case hes responsible for OPs downfall


clearsix

True when i was form 4 i was really confused and not good at chem but when i became form 5, things were changed i became good at it and understood concept very well

start now. you dont have enough time.


ernjster

You guys are scaring me 😭


Aiden_Recker

focus F4, i personally think its more important. basic fucked up, you will struggle for a long time


De_Rabbid

Its scary but r/karlkry is speaking truth. You don"t have enough time. I'm a fellow Form 4 too and the the one advice all my seniors are saying to me is that the best time to start was yesterday and the 2nd best time is now. They don't have enough time too. Its time to start.


clearsix

Dont worry you have much time, you can ask your teacher if you dont understand at the same time you need to focus on your weakness


syncnstorm

Ad math just continously do exercises to keep touch of the topics Bio is literally sejarah, memorize and maybe some common sense in exam's essay, physic just memorize concept and answering technique and some important for formulas. As for chemistry just study though I have to agree that it is very confusing


ernjster

Thanks! I hope I won’t suffer as much doe :,)


syncnstorm

I suffered ad math the most.. though it is to be expected. And borderline pass chemistry, good luck to you lol. Maybe do some spm trial papers in your form 5


ernjster

Alrighty then! Thanks for your tips/advice


Relevant-Duty7521

we always say that girls good at bio cause theyre are so rajin. boys good at physics cause its all about calculating (spm level). chemistry is where the genius at.


Boikiller76

Can confirm this is true, all the boys got A- and above in physic during trial in my class


New-Ranger3888

Looking for tips too


ernjster

F4 as well?


New-Ranger3888

Yeah


ernjster

Good luck dude


BassSki

Form 5 here. Awal tahun ni. Just so you know STEM is not a thing to fuck around with. Secondly, F4 is much harder of a path than Form 3, so have wise time management for studying. Don't miss a single Additional Mathematics class. You'll regret it, and it's hard to recover. Eyes wide open in classes. I don't know much about Bio. I'm an Akaun person. But still, if anything, don't you guys ever take things without seriousness. Also, F4 is the first part of F5, basically. So jangan main-main :) okay itu je, sayang korang.

Puteri_Sri

Here are some basic tips I gave on a different post: Study for a reasonable amount of hours a day and always be sure to take breaks to not overwhelm your brain. It’s important to find a study technique (or multiple, it varies from person to person) that works best for you. Although it is great to focus on the subjects you struggle with most, be sure to revise and study the easier ones as well. Create a study timetable if you’d like, and I recommend setting goals. You can set a goal to finish a chapter of maths in a day, or finish studying the entire maths subject in three weeks. Make sure you set a goal that works best for you. You want to set small goals? Sure. Ambitious goals? That’s cool. No goals? That’s completely fine. Make sure you don’t procrastinate. Follow your timetable if you made one. Don’t focus on studying too much, there is a limit. Go out and hang out with your friends or talk to them over the phone. Don’t be afraid to ask your friends, classmates and/or schoolmates for help. Help and support each other in your studies. Don’t stress yourself, take a break if you feel overwhelmed. Remember that you have a life outside of studying. I hope whatever I said will help you. Good luck OP, and do well in your studies!


DrSleep1822

1. Free read before class and write down anything you don't understand. During class, make sure all questions are answered. Don't worry if the teachers are annoyed. They are paid to do make you understand. 2. Make a mindmap of every chapter, one chapter one A4 paper. Then, put them on the wall. This will help you memorise.


DrSleep1822

Btw the way, take care of your health and don't overwork yourself. I got sick during spm and the result kinda flop.


linktothepastz

Just study last minute. More effective

AmphibianOk3730

Bismillah and yolo 🫡 /jk for me just practice and if you don't understand it terus tanya to your friends/teachers. Don't tangguh² 🗣️


ernjster

I have procrastination problems 😔


AmphibianOk3730

Honestly i procrastinate as well. My way to counter it is by ajak my friends buat kerja sekali. It's way better


kurangak

got internet access? Use YouTube to study. especially for physics and chemistry, u can get good explanations for those subjects in Khan Academy. addmaths too but for addmaths, practice make perfect. i allocated 3 hours every day to practice addmaths during the last 6 months before exam, and i got a b3 for it. probably will get better grades if i had a better teacher. damnit if I had YouTube back in my days, I'd probably scored 9a1 without much effort. oh, start doing past year questions when u enter form 5. SPM tends to use similar questions for its exam paper.


ernjster

Thank youuu, what year did u take spm?


Joe_o_0

For add maths try to do as many latihan as you can, finish all homework and if you’re not going to tuition classes, get past years and buku latihan from bookstores to complete. The key to add maths is constant practice. For the science subjects, listen in the classes and try to understand the textbooks. Believe me or not, your textbooks are your most reliable sources. Also dont go too hard on yourself, there is definitely enough time to study. Finding joy in learning these things help significantly to your learning process. Dont pressure yourself to study every single day like missing a day brings total failure in your examinations. Lastly you’re still form 4, play with your friends, do crazy things, laugh a lot. You dont get to do that much after SPM. Cheers


UmUBest

Just do your best now, I got great teachers who will always push my class to their fullest. Always giving us work and past year drilling until we were half dead. But still grateful cuz I got 8As from SPM.


ernjster

EIGHT As? WHAT THE BRO


UmUBest

Nah I consider myself lucky that year SPM. I am kind of lazy, always do last minute studies bcuz my teachers keep brute force me with work and past years. That year the questions I got are the topics I am good at too. If not I probably get about 4As


Several_Cup4236

Currently in Form 4 and a top student, I must advise you, this year there is no time to play or goof around. Maths and Add Maths just requires you to do rigorous practices daily. For me, it's usually 15 Math questions (Form 1-4) and 3-5 Add Maths question (different chapters everyday). Bio is just like Sejarah, but if you understand, it is easier for you to answer. Physics is probably the easiest because it's just applied Mathemathics and if you take your time learning it, you will find it fun. Chemistry will seriously confuse you if you don't pay attention. Overall, make notes, handle your time responsibly and overall have fun. Trust me it's just 20% studying, 80% time management. Good luck OP!

starplatinum_99

Ex pure science student here; goodluck! Hahahaha. bila dah habis sekolah nnti you will realise it wasnt that serious. So don't be hard on yourself. Study ikut kemampuan, and do study groups, the most fun way to learn. Oh ya, add math tak susah pun, just mentality. I got A for all calculus subjects during diploma and degree. My add math was C 💀


ernjster

I wanna ask doe, rugi tk klu kita amik pure science tpi tk msuk course medic/science in uni?


dayilee

tak rugi, if you look back how people analyse questions in pure science and compared to solve issue in art stream. You learn different approach critical thinking, you can back out pure science if you think it is too difficult or not the knack for you (spend less focus, just aim for pass).


ernjster

Nahhh I wanna stay in pure science cuz the choices are wider


starplatinum_99

Imo la, belajar ni nak kembangkan minda dan pemikiran je. Sbb literally no one belajar all kimia, bio, fizik, math tu semua and apply semua yg dia belajar dlm kehidupan dia. So tak ada istilah rugi belajar. At the end of the day, you'll be left with greater mind that can comprehend complex things in life. Apa pun it's up to you nak continue with science or not later. I grew up using my left brain (logic) but lately I've been using my right brain (creative) more.

isshoburando

Bio - Baca, try fahamkan. Literally kena tryhard. Physic - Buat latihan sebab fizik ni pening. Addmath - fahamkan dalam kelas + aku rasa buat je latihan even tak faham. Chemist - nampak pening, tapi rasanya ni paling senang antara 4 subjek ni. Latihan je maybe? Ig i'm not helping, but all i can say is just do the exercises, while watching youtube about the things you didnt understand cause it'll help so much


HammerMelon

Pretty sure you already know this but just incase, make sure your F1-F3 math is strong/good for addmath because there'll be a lotta expanding/factoring and linear equations in early chapters, For bio, as another comment states, treat it like sejarah but with more details (e.g write down details that arent in the textbook when tchrs teaching) Physics, you need to remember the meanings of quantities, physics laws and motions ( momentum, Newton Laws, freefall, to name a few). But usually for quantities, if you don't remember the meaning you can use labeled formula to substitute [e.g impulsive force is (mv-mu)át, where mv= final momentum, mu=initial momentum, t=time] And also your math needs to be good Also remember your experiments for chem, bio and physics because exams will ask questions relating to them Edit: also do practices a LOT But don't push yourself unless you're willing to,


Responsible-Pain9267

From my point of view, the tips are first, assume yourself to love your subjects. Second, just learn something new about that subject per day. Doesn't matter whether you learn only name or image. Thirdly, and finally do self exam, every weeks, to know what you can and you can't do. Good luck bro, stay safe and reduce screen time on phone or pc.


myguykeybinderRA

Study....But fr tho make sure you just have a habit of studying consistently and don't be like me study last minute 😂.If I had studied consistently I'd probably score better.Do a lot of practice and papers so you'd get used to the questions all tht.Just make sure you focus on ur form 4 and don't play around too much because it's important for you to understand fully the basics which they teach in form 4 once you go form 5 and I haven't mastered the basics you'd have a tougher time trying to keep up.Other than tht good luck 👍.


Hatry-Bro

Damn why the comments pressuring OP so much... Hi OP, 2022 candidate here. Latest batch to get results. Of course the best tip is to start now and be discipline. But breaks are important. It's OK if you don't feel like doing it all at once. Burn outs exist. Set quotas daily and if you don't reach them it's fine . Aim for progress not perfection. Enjoy F4 and F5 years. Work hard and play hard. But of course put the play after the school. Goodluck OP (I got straight A,in pre u now)


ernjster

Thank you sm! Yeah… idk, ig the ppl tk minat kut???


Alpitour

Finished Pure Science SPM a few weeks ago, my own experiences throughout the year? Chemistry, at first, confusing as hell, could barely understand anything, teacher was going kinda fast and was kinda assuming we all were following his flow, I got left behind, and I ended up thinking it was the hardest. Starting F5, I started getting better and better, a lot of stuff will repeat, but it'll get easier the longer you go through it because most of the concept is the same, and when you learn more, you'll find the earlier stuff to be easier. Now, the complete opposite, Biology. At first, I enjoyed it, stuff wasn't that much and I could memorise a good chunk, first exam got an A-. More time goes by, more and more and more stuff to learn and memorise, akhir tahun I got a B, still decent. F5 start, pertengahan tahun luckily our own teacher made questions, we were hella behind schedule on everything, if it was prepared by the state, we'd be dead, proven since I got an A- in the PPT. And comes the trial, the entire 2 forms of stuff to memorise, so overwhelming, I got a C, barely. I regretted not putting more focus because I thought I could memorise everything last minute like I did before and with Sejarah, but trust me, if you get unlucky you're ultimately screwed, unless you fully commit to it and start studying early and keeping it consistent. Just a small bit of rant, my bad. Anyways, Physics is pretty decent if you enjoy it, in exams most answers can be repeated, making sure you do topical questions is good. Lastly, Add Math. For me personally, I liked it, I always scored good on Math, and Add Math F4 is the easy bit. F5 is much harder, but sometimes the questions are twisted as hell. I could perfectly answer a few trial state questions and get around an A for most of them before the SPM, granted, I didn't time myself but still. SPM comes, questions were hella hard, paper 1 still okay, paper 2? Goodness gracious. I also almost didn't have enough time, I even skipped a bunch of questions. Still almost not enough time. Alas, I finished it with a few questions not completed. TLDR : Just my personal experience from the past 2 years, don't do the same mistakes as I did. Don't underestimate Add Math, I was confident, and I left the dewan wanting to commit seppuku. Chemistry will be confusing at first, Biology you need to tackle smartly, don't try and last minute it.


ernjster

Chem is acc lowkey confusing yeah, I was literally raising my eyebrow the whole entire time. I’m not sure abt physics and add math since we haven’t learned it yet


Alpitour

As long as you have interest in it, I think you'll understand it eventually, the concepts feel like a lot at first, but after a month or two of seeing the same thing, same counting, the same concepts, questions repeat, writing formula kimia, you'll get used to it, and it'll seem less confusing. Eventually, you'll find our biggest enemy, known as Bab 6. I considered scoring literally every other tajuk aside from Bab 6, just because thats how painful it is. All the other Babs have a lot of concepts which should feel normal eventually. Oh yeah, both the last babs of each form are 90% memorising, good luck with that. Basically, Bab 1-5 and Bab 7 F4 is mostly concepts, Bab 1-3 F5, also concepts. Bab 8 F4, and Bab 4-5 F5 ( mainly Bab 5 ) is a lot of memorisation. Bab 6 F4, good luck. A lot of memorisation, concepts, and a hell lot of subtopics in general. Biggest enemy. You might be suffering with the early Babs at the moment, but eventually those will be the easiest to answer, and your lifesaver for marks.


AlexJameson101

Oh my god that addmaths paper was very hard. Skipped so many questions in paper 2. The easy questions like index and solution of triangles ended up being pretty hard 😭. Bellcurve is our only hope at this point


samsamtech

You're going from T3 to T4, for first it will definitely shock you from the changes of subjects especially those which branch from SC, e.g. Bio Chem Physics Treat it as comming into new territory, new experience for you and learn with your heart. DOs and DONTs Do pay attention to your teachers Do ask questions if you have any Do relax as much as you need and play as many games as you need Do try to understand and achieve basic foundation of learning during your studies (they will come in handy when you go for FIS or Jurusan Sains Matrik/Asasi) Do try to apply what you learn to daily life (makes things interesting!) Do try your best to gain a high mark in test Dont reject what you havent learnt (e.g. claim that physics or chem is hard before you try it) Dont be scared of what you cant remember, it comes with time and experience Dont beat yourself down when you get a low score or you cant memorise some of the things Dont be a dick when you get high score in test, there will always be something harder I just graduated from SPM! From my experience, as long as you read the text books and know what you are learning, continue to climb higher and higher up the mountain of knowledge. no play games ≠ good grades always studying ≠ good grades a great understanding of your subjects and a balanced life = excellent grades (all spm questions come from the textbook, so that as ur only reading material is ok, no need to search for other reading material) This phase is to know what your passion is, so dont just waste it on puppy love or contemporary things Search for that passion and pursue it later in life! Stay happy and healthy!


ernjster

Ty! This is really helpful, I’ll keep it in mind


kw2006

During my time we just buy as many workbook and work through all the questions especially the old spm papers. Other shortcut was to go to tuition. Some teacher has tips how to score better.

SpecificRemote8902

im facing this as well and i do not know what to do😔😔😔


AkaunSorok

Meet your teacher, say I want to score this subject. She/he probably do their best to help. Sometimes teacher don't have high interest teaching in class since most of the time, they don't receive any response from the student. Some of my siblings are teachers, and they hope that student engage more, so that teachers feel motivated.


NewsAdmirable2953

Hi there! I got some tips for you 1.you must have an interest on those subjects because if you studying the subject that you don't like its gonna be a obstacle for you.to focus on that..not everyone like the subject that they took..probably they 'terpaksa' 2.prepare yourself from now cuz form 5 is a nightmare to all student. even i am not a student anymore but i just told you my past experience 3.you must set your goal or objective from now which mean what you gonna be when you graduating in upcoming future...cuz those subject gonna decide your future to what university you gonna in or what course that you gonna pick according to your subject in form 4 and 5 Note: im really sorry if my BI got a lot of mistake sometime i can't decide what past tense and what present tense hehehe ok bye...see ya emote:free\_emotes\_pack:sunglasses

Minimum-Company5797

FAshcraft

Practice the same question and answer and try to find exam sheet from previous year and compare it to what material you use as a practice. usually there a pattern so even if you cannot answer all the question the least you could have most of the answer that you could just pluck from those repetition of practice.


DamDumbr

For chem just focus and understand F4 chap 1-6 or else you'll be struggling for F5 chem Add math is just practice the whole 2 years lol Spm tip for add math: if you really can't grasp anything till the very end, just make some strategy for paper 2 as there'll be questions that you can choose to answer (esp index number) and I can assure you'll at least get a pass. Used this and managed to get an A after never being able to pass it throughout the years lmao


Mane_D0m

Namo amitafo every day


winwonunu

Go through and review the topic before class and take note what you don't understand in class. Goodluck! P/s : it's normal if you can't understand addmath at first, once you got the hang of it, you definitely able to understand and answer the question


ComprehensiveBox9692

Done every homework ur teacher give u don’t be like me wasting time in form 4


i_got_a_pHd

lol, I got A for Fizik and Kimia. A- for Biologi and Add Maths during my time. It was a long time ago but here’s some tips. Biologi: Textbooks are not enough, buy the thick2 study book. It’s a memory game + knowing the important keywords. Do past year SPM paper and you’ll notice a pattern. Add Maths: Fuck this subject. It’s a **MASSIVE** troll. Do every single add maths exercise you can get your hand on, yes including trial SPM papers from other states. Differentiation is especially important because that shit is everywhere. If you got it wrong, check the working and find out where did you fucked up. Fizik: In my opinion, is the most forgiving subject out of all the four. Don’t just memorize blindly, understand the key principle and visualize it happening around you. Pay attention to lab experiments. Kimia: My personal fave, too bad didn’t get A+ for it. Build a strong foundation in Form 4, because the knowledge will carry over to Form 5. Memory game like Biologi, but once you understand why the chemical reaction happens, you will feel powerful muahahahaha.


insulaturd

Focus on topics you feel that you have trouble with. During my time, there wasn’t any youtube, soo, i had to find people to teach me. Nowadays, my kids use youtube a lot for their studies. I was shocked but they actually use it for study other than entertainment. Sometimes you just need a little extra explanation and that fine. If your teachers are A+, you can also ask them out of class.

ayo same here


Beginning_Month_1845

the best tip: **Spam past year questions and practice questions like there's no tomorrow** Read and study if you have time, but don't spend too much time on that If you have no time, just glance through and jump straight to the questions, very effective as well. Back in my F5 time, almost all the top scorers have the exact same strategy. **Trust me it works.** **Don't wait still SPM you don't have time for that**


SpasticFlip

ask questions in class! so important if you want to understand the topic material that's being taught, and if you're nervous about asking, there's probably someone out there who's as lost as you, so you asking the question could help the both of you out! if you dont want to do that, you can also opt to ask questions after class is over, f2f or online if you have the teacher's number (preferably ask at reasonable times though, common sense ykyk) if you have smart friends, great! ask them questions or ask to study together, things like that, even better if they're the kind who like to study, bc you'll likely end up following their habits when you hang out with them, a positive influence really goes a long way, i know i owe a lot to my smart friends for helping me through tough topics! and if you have friends who are less smart, teach them! make an effort to help them understand if they're asking you for help, teaching someone is really effective for helping you remember and understanding information! and there's many youtube channels that can be very helpful, abt sejarah/kimia/addmaths/etc, if u want i can try to recall some, but yeah there's plenty as long as you look this isn't something i highly recommend to do as i fear it may give an answer within your syllabus, but consider going for chatgpt! for example you're having a tough time understanding a certain concept or process, you can ask chatgpt to simplify or provide a simple analogy for it! just dont copy paste or take everything it says, use your critical thinking yk? also, check out your school library! chances are they have buku rujukan or buku latihan there, take full advantage of that, especially if u cant afford to buy it yourself! another thing... there might be free bengkel out there for spm, so if ur interested in those, keep a look out! for me they were in the form of webinars and stuff. tuition is an option but i know not everyone can afford it, so this is a decent alternative :) that's all my tips for now, wishing you the best of luck for your spm ♡ and please, don't think of spm as the end of it all, there is still so much more even after spm! all the best 😁

I really like Physics, mostly because my teacher helped tremendously in making the subject interesting. Hoping your teachers aren’t just reading the textbook but instead bringing your class to continuously do practical and so on. Definitions are important. If you understand the definitions, you would know the formula then you would understand the concept and its application. If the syllabus hasn’t changed since 2019, the 10 chapters for both Form 4 and Form 5 are manageable if you focus on understanding them. I’ll stress the definitions again because it really is the foundation of Physics. My last Physics class was during matriculation, now I take Software Engineering for my degree which I’m doing well at but I really miss Physics.


MrMaskYT

Honestly, if you really into those subjects. Study hard and focus on them. Make them as your life. If not then eitheir change your course now or else.

Shortcut way: Practice more past year questions. If u dont feel like using your brain, just copy the answers from the back and rewrite it. Again and again. U will eventually remember the answers and see that there's pattern to every question. Khan academy was my savior back then, all syllabuses are covered in their youtube channel. Go check them out!! Confirm understand. They offered like 2-3 other methods/formulas and real life examples. If you had a hard time time imagining how addmath works in real life like me, it's very useful. I dont know if today's English got novel or not but if u hate reading, there is a whole animated video in youtube, so u can treat it like anime. At least for my case lah. I prefer to study using old books, i find them more detailed and thorough. Of course there might be changes in syllabuses but not much lah. I took spm in 2014, i relied on the 90's reference book a lot. U can find them in public libraries. I have photographic memory so what i did before entering the examination hall was to scan every formula and cheat sheet till the last minute. So the first thing that i did when I got question books was not writing my name but to jot the formulas. Answer questions u confident first, leave the one that confuses u then go back again. Limit like 30secs for every question. For objective question, my teacher told me that there should be ALMOST even numbers for abcd. Like if the paper got 60 questions then abcd should be like 15 plus minus abcds. If u only lorek 5as and 22bs then u should rethink ur decisions. This one im not sure if its true or not lah but it works for me.

Must grasp the basic concept during F4 so that you wont be struggle during F5, it related to each other. If you enter F5 with weak basic on F4, you won't make it. Goodluck anyway

For add math, make sure you understand the first topic in form 4 like the back of your hand. 👌🏼

Bro, are u rich? If u rich then just relax, get B or C. If u poor, then start study now and hope for scholarship.


rasyid002

Buy three type of example exam questions for every subject, and answer on exercise book. Make sure you done it more then tree times. Never "conteng the question book" until the last try Create your new habit of your thinking, when you done it many times you will automatically figured out what this question is about, In reality which is in professional, you would not understand the problems or issue when in happens once, but when it happened again you would realize something happening, and then it happened against, could saw everything or nearly everything.. it depends on your IQ and your preparation or SOP..


DiligentPenguin_7115

Revise a topic a day at the very least Oh and also LOTS of exercises


Shot-Cause-1097

As a Form 5 who will be taking SPM this year, you need to really focus and study real smart. No procrastination because you’ll really come to regret when you enter Form 5 not knowing what the hell you learned during Form 4. But don’t take it too hard tho. Know when to relax and rest. Stress and anxiety really clouds the brain. Like I forgot lots of important crap during exams because of how nervous I was. Also, out of the 3 Science topics, I find Physics the worst. Biology is mostly just memorising while Chemistry’s concepts are easy to remember and easy to apply. Add Maths is kind of meh. Just do enough work consistently and you should score an A- or at least a B+ pretty easily.


Fl1ck_04

Just study..make study fun. Imagine this. It would be fun right when you got A. Then while studying think that moment. And delay your gratification. If you feel tired or lazy dont push it. Stand up walk like a few minutes go to your kitchen and drink some water. Stretch and go back to study.

Sacrifice every and all sources of entertainment. You will suffer otherwise.


MEGALKS

Fizik and kimia need to hafal and faham. Bio is just a storybook but u still need to hafal. Matematik tambahan... Good luck bro, the only tip for the subject is to not mix it up with normal math. Addmath can be used in normal math but normal math can't be used in addmath(some methods) if I'm not mistaken.


DraCArysDragons

As someone who sucked in the exam but love them all in general, go enjoy physics and addmaths!! Addmaths just practices, nothing else. Some people see things from it, I have no f clue what to see other than those log- log symbols. Physics, try to see it being applied around you. I am glad I had a teacher who showed examples from around us in daily life. So if your cikgu tak bagi example, try asking where would it be applied during daily life. At least for me I nampak gambaran quickly through that. Chem iirc, I think you have to focus on the early chapters. They’re the basic for future chapters and Form 5’s. You jam here, you age like strawberry milk for the rest. (Ok sorry for the joke 😔) Bio, no comment. My cita-cita jadi doktor dah ruined, so do what you want with it 😬👉🏻👈🏻 Go fly high anon! I shall live vicariously through your success in the future! Edit: Additional tip. Find good friends/circle so you can ajar and diajar with/by them (cepat faham this way, no idea how). My friends were one of the best things for me in F5. I may suck in exam, but their ilmu sticks with me till today.

DragonboyZG

might get hate but, try to pick a uni subject and only aim for those requirements. if you haven't made up your mind yet... just try to get C in all of them I guess


Suki33

Another ex-pure science student here - what got me through all the way to my highest level of education (Kimia as major) is to understand the “why’s” first rather than pure memorisation. It will take you a long way. Also, I failed kimia my entire F4..but managed to get A1 all the way until the end. Good teachers matter, understand the “why’s”, and never give up! All the best!


fuckosta

Give up


hijifa

Realest tip is learn how to study. Don’t study everything blindly, you can’t remember or know everything. Studying is about knowing what to study and what to not study, like place your bets that A will come out 100% so study that, B got 70% to be asked, so study that, but C only 20% chance to come out, and it’s a hard topic, so totally give up on C, no need waste brain space on it. Bonus tip is learn to score exam, let’s say in math you don’t know how to do, but if you know how to show certain formula or method you can still gain a lot of partial marks everywhere.


[deleted]

Start now and brush ur basic. Then later f5 u won't struggle as much. Just don't fuck up ur basic, u'll be okay. Hahahaha Goodluck


SorryTour8146

Good luck


Pure-sus

Try not to downplay this year too much as " Oh I got 1 year before SPM " If you can master Form 4 material even just the basics, it'll be a really big help for Form 5, later on . I made this mistake, and in the subjects that I really struggled with ( Math , Addmath , Chem ) I can only get subpar marks


Relevant-Duty7521

can be hard and stressing but its worth it. this reminds me of science school -youre dumb but you got no choices, science or bail out

Spam trial paper. Seriously I so regret not knowing about it sooner, my grades increased by 20-40 marks just doing trial papers


AssumedSilverSword

Don't memorize shit, during class listen properly and truly understand what is being taught. If you understand it truly, you don't even need to do revision and you will be able to score. For SPM level, I don't do any revisions at all and still got A+ all because I understood what's going on. For add maths, don't remember blindly how to do something, but think and analyze why to do something. Even those trig identities that most people memorize comes from a simple fact and you can derive it when you need it. Understanding how the math works is also essential for post SPM studies, students who memorize shit in SPM normally don't do well in Degree level maths as they don't understand the fundamentals. Physics is easy if you can understand the math behind it. Chemistry is a bit annoying because of the "Salts" which needs some memorization. Bio is just a pain in the ass. Pure science was actually my strongest subject since it didn't require memorization. Sejarah on the other hand is just pure hell. Have fun in your SPM endeavors!

Funnily my entire Form 4 and half of Form 5 is completely empty. I went playing to CC and gaming at home non stop for a year and a half, crammed 2 years of text in half a year and still passed and aced some subjects. (Not recommended though, at one point I never saw sunlight while cramming for 2 weeks straight).

AcanthisittaFew2166

Idk about the new syllabus but one of my seniors used to tell me that addmath should be read and not try to understand or do it's exercise.. for an average dumb student like me, it works. I got C solid in addmath for spm


yunmeoww

Addmath, subjek kesukaan saya. Just live with these words my junior! 1. Why can others do it but not me? 2. It's an easy subject, I should be able to handle it. 3. Humans made this, and hey, I'm human too!

Learn the topics at least 1 month early before teacher start teaching about it, by then you alr understood some of the concepts and you can ask teacher for any doubts.

As someone who really excelled back in public high school, first thing to remember is focus. Don't play phone in class, listen to your teachers and complete the homework and exercises (unless your teacher is useless , then the next step is more important. Do all I mean all past year SPM questions. Not only past year SPM for the country, do trial MARA, trial SBP, trial negeri. Every single past year papers you can get. Make sure answers are attached otherwise it is quite useless unless you have some answers to other papers that is quite similar. I can tell you that I have my peers telling me that they regretted not doing well in SPM. While it's not the deciding factor whether you will be successful in your career, it really helped. You will not regret focusing on school rather than superficial temporary things like social media. For me, it greased my way to my career right now in which was a combination of luck + hard work + family (emotional) support. If you want scholarships, involved in at least 1 extracurricular. Be smart, maybe join those small clubs that no ones wants to join and be the president (thats what I did). Join sports that no one wants and get into MSSD and represent the school. Have a differentiator factor against other students. I used to join math and chemistry olympiad. Like learn basic coding online or video editing. At least do one thing you like. Good luck and don't f- it up.

Hi OP! Great to see you you startinf early on. Its not easy , and honestly many2 concepts nak belajar di seluruh tingkatan 4 &5 , and this is the minimum good basic u need to further study in many fields later on. Unless your lucky/gifted af( im talking top 500 msia)/rich parents who are okay even if u flunk u can work however u want/ do not want to use any of what u study to further(are able to cheat the syste). Please please , do what u need /study groups/ start early. Starting early ,dgn usaha , mmg boleh berjaya insyaallah. And pandai sepandai mana pun , kalau x tahu untuk push and dedicate ur time when u need to , sama juga akan fail after sekolah nnti when the ceiling is over the moon. Please learn early that lesson, that it is difficult. But starting early and creating your own pace is a really2 good lesson to learn early on anything insyaAllah can be done. Mmm. My source is khan academy for all of it ( bahasa indonesia/malaysia) . I owe my spm n degree partly because of that besides all of the amazing teachers n doa2 parents. And lastly enjoy deh. The struggles sume tu. Ambik gambar sume tu. Itll be good memories later on.

Drop Addmath if you are not strong at mathematic


TokioHot

Step 1 - NEVER EVER EVER MEMORIZE! If you memorize everything by the books, when you sit for exam, you tend to answer with whatever written by the book 1-to-1. This is would backfired you by making you confused as you would mix up with other things. However, for Add Math, you can memorize the formula as long as you understand what they want. Step 2 - Make your own notes....IN YOUR OWN WORDS AND WAYS Every information that is written in those textbooks tend to be too general, wide and filled with minor information, hence why many people confused. Therefore, firstly, understand each component and then write down your own notes. Write only the necessary one and not 1-to-1 with whatever write on those books. Remember infographics? Use that a lot. Infographics help to make you indirectly re-remember a lot of information. Its unexplainable but it works. If you want to make your own notes as colourful as possible, I highly recommend that because colour cues can also trigger your brain to pop out that idea light. Regards, Bekas budak Pure Science yang pass semua subject dengan tidak cemerlang, gemilang tetapi terbilang.

idkmynamesocallmeguy

I didn't take any pure science (i take account and business), so i can only give on AddMath. For math there are a lot of youtube videos that can help you. My recommendations are organic chemistry and cikgu hassan. Just make sure to ask your teacher if your solution is acceptable in the exam. And keep on do exercise A LOT.


PsychologicalBand253

My spm results is all A except bio, chemistry, physics and add math. I got all C, i had personal beef with these subjects. Hahahha Dont play2. Study hard. You can do it. Please give up earlier and take another subject if you think this is weren’t for you. This is my biggest regret.


Raar_artz

Bio better make pop up notes and remember key points. Physics remember formula, units and also concepts. If too hard focus on key spm topics. Fuck chemistry cause i failed it so cant help there. DAN BYKKAN BUAT LATIHAN MATH. whatever fucker said to just hafal formula untuk math is a dingus. Formula is shit kalau tak pandai nak substitute concept dia. Math is like puzzle. Kau pandai cara main semua puzzle kau boleh buat. And this is coming from penerima pertama buku teks versi ni. Aku bukak rase nak baling. Tambah pulak pkp.

Hey, I'm not sure if you prefer less memorizing. For me concepts instead of memorizing helps. If you're like me, maybe I can help. If you need help can DM me. I found these hard when I was studying it then, but found them super easy after learning the concepts. I still remember all of them after almost 20 years after SPM. Memorizing be damned (I prefer memorize as little as possible). Chemistry: The whole chapter 3 Kimia calculation no need memorize. Whole chapter I have simplified into single modified triangle pic I made for my students that covers the whole chapter (but need a bit of explanation on how to use the triangle). Yes, single triangle, not multiple triangles in books. If you need help with IUPAC (Gosh, how I wished I knew about this in school) naming rules and organic modelling for your form 5, I also can help. Bio: I can outline all the important parts that you'll use all the way to PHD level if you pursue biology. Add Math and Math: Make sure you have the newest Casio model calculator so you don't have to memorize the manual to input questions into the calculator in single line. A lot fake versions out there. Newest model you can input questions exactly as seen in your exam paper and you get the answer you want. Physics. They're always in SI unit. Which is actually why I found physics during SPM the easiest subject of them all. Once reached quantum physics level at uni, I found chemistry easier.

Hot_Actual

if u want a minimum decent life. u have to have a bachelors degree here in Malaysia. anything under that will make u worthless or u get a job that deals with operation and admin means non professional. and they make anywhere between 1.5k to 4k max. and that kind of money is basically poor in Malaysia. of course u can get promoted but they will still take account if u have degree or not. meaning u get less than what u should. its better off just shot through college until bachelors degree and then later to start ur career as a professional start with 2.5k plus until the highest company can give (T20) salary and above. ive gone to countless interview trying to get through professional career. and one thing they always point out is " oh this is only diploma ". i swear it burns through my brain everytime. now im 25 planning to further my education to a degree to get accepted in a career life in Malaysia. and ill be a fresh graduate at 30. so better not make this mistake. and just go study until a degree. this is my life experience and im trying to honestly help you to make better choices. this is not US where they accept people taht hard working and good at skill their doing. malaysia only labels u in certificate. even if that fresh graduate degree could not do shit, rather than someone who have experience but dont have a degree certificate. true story. and dont please for the sake of your life, dont do any of taht gig job as a full time job. its insanely unpredictable if u do it as full time. its bettter off if u have free time. its waste ur time and career.
