Hi everyone, this is Darryl from Overmark and for all students out there that are just starting out your JC this year here are 5 things to take note of so that your JC can be a smooth sailing one Number 1, A Levels is a lot harder than O Levels Now if anything, this is to help you manage your own expectations If y... | |
Firstly, you need to recognise that the content workload is a completely different beast If you thought that whatever you studied at O Levels was hard A Levels content is going to be a whole lot more challenging This is because the A Level syllabus is a natural build up from the O Level syllabus So let's say if you... | |
It's actually quite common for someone to retain in JC because of how rigorous the syllabus can be My best advice is to stay consistent Complete your homework, listen in lectures and classes and review your learnings on a regular basis Number 2, Project Work Now in case you haven't heard from your seniors all J1s... | |
Over the course of your first year in JC, you will be tasked to work on this project in stages From a written report to an actual Oren presentation that will be graded Now when I first heard about it, I thought You know, it wasn't going to be that bad, right? I mean, I am a team person and I do enjoy working on mea... | |
because it does prepare you for many useful skill sets like working collaboratively in a team and learning to write reports and to do presentations However, because this is a graded subject The nature of the syllabus requirement makes the whole process a lot more restrictive and extremely structured Based on my ow... | |
The stress started to build up when the deadlines were piling up and teammates started to go missing Then comes in a whole lot of drama with finger pointing and accusations Oh, trust me This is just a rite of passage Even after you submitted the written report There is still the oral presentation that you need to... | |
And there are no longer any CCA points that you could use for deduction like back in O-levels But most schools will still mandate that you join a CCA Whether it's a more chill one or more intensive one Now, CCA commitment will be quite different from when you were back in secondary school As now everyone is older ... | |
In nearly 6 months after you enter JC, most J2s will step down And you will be handed the reins to run your CCA as the next batch So you'll no longer have seniors around to rely on And you pretty much need to figure everything out by yourself So, good luck Fourth, there is never enough time Now, have you seen the... | |
And you know, you function like a zombie without sleep Good chances is that your grades are going to be the ones suffering There just isn't enough time for everything No matter how well you try to manage your time There's just so much that has to be done But you only have 24 hours So the best advice here is to tr... | |
And for all of you lovebirds out there that need quality time together Try to see if you can incorporate study time and be productive together Self-discipline and time management would be your 2 biggest skill set If you want to survive JC Lastly, the new bell curve Welcome to the new JC bell curve You need to rea... | |
And you still need to factor in and add back the IP students that did not take O-levels The bell curve here is going to be a lot steeper And you will be competing against IP students that already have a head start As they have been learning some A-level content way earlier The playing field here is really very diff... | |
Which means if you are sleepyhead and you snooze your way through lectures You will find yourself lagging behind really quickly Now, there are tutorial classes for you to clarify your doubts and your questions But if you haven't even done your homework Chances are that you'll just be as clueless in your tutorials a... | |
It's actually not uncommon to see half the class failing a common test Thankfully, there is moderation to help students stay afloat But if you find yourself barely passing, you can't really afford to relax much as well It's all the more important to stay afloat And be consistent because once you lag behind, the cat... | |
