SPM Trial Paper 3 Analysis

How do u guys feel at the moment?? Hope u are ready for this challenging week... especially about your final preparation on having physics after add maths paper. Just be calm & keep your concentration at highest level after u 've finished add maths paper.
Make sure u change your calculator angle mode from radian to degree mode. Otherwise your calculation on topics like refractive index,critical angle, resolving forces angle will be wrong. Dont forget to bring protractor, who knows this time they might ask u to draw triangle of forces in equilibrium with proper scaling.

Here i managed to list out some analysis on paper 3 section B based on recent states' trial papers. Hope this information will be useful.

Anyway i wish all of u Good Luck and all the best in your physics & other papers.

Which experiment will come out for physics section B,paper 3?

Here are some tips on which type of experiment always being asked in section B.
Some students said there are too many experiment to study. Yeah it is so true, thats why some students are gambling to study form 5 experiment only. There are pro & cons if u try to do this approach. The advantage is.. form 5 experiment is much lesser than form 4 experiment. Usually in SPM, chapter like Electricity, Electromagnet & Waves are the favorate to be asked in exam. But if u analyse past years paper, experiment on electromagnet has been asked for the past 2 years..so i would say this year, experiment on electricity & wave can be the favorate. But sometimes the unpredictable can happen..who knows Electronic or electromgnet experiment can be asked again this year ;)

There are some disadvantages if u are only relying on form 5 experiment. For example in 2008, the experiment on form 5 is a bit difficult. Student hardly state its inference & hypothesis correctly. If u do the wrong hypothesis, u have the chance to loose all the 12 marks. I would say majority of students on that year chose to answer form 4 experiment. For me whether u want to gamble on form5 experiment or not is very much dependent on your level of understanding on all the chapters.

Through my observation,what ever experiment came out last year, it wont be asked again this year. So for form 4 experiment, u can close one eye on Hooke's law. Thats y if u notice, in the states trial paper, u hardly see any hooke's law's experiment being asked. However u have more than 10 other form4 's experiment to be studied. Out of these , only 1 will come out..to be frank,its hard to single out which one will be asked i SPM... all i can do is to guide my students.

Basically i would categorise two important type of experiment that need to be studied:
1. Experiment on physic's law..e.g gases law, etc
2. Experiment on physics' formula..e.g P=hpg ( came out in KL trial), 1/f =1/u+1/v (light)

As i said, in last year Hooke's law experiment came out,..while in 2008 experiment on pressure which based on formula P=F/A had been asked.
NOW U SHOULD ASK YOURSELF..How many experiment on physic's law & physics formula do we have in physics syllabus? On top of that, how many have u covered???
If u type of last minute student..just attempt all paper 3 in the last trial..if u lucky enough, one of them will come out..but i dont guarantee it ok!
Now its time for u to do yor work.....

R u aiming for A+ ?

I wanna ask u a simple question..are u guys aiming for an A+ in physics???

What ever it is, u need to produce at least this kind of result..

Paper 1 = 45 marks ( wow! 5 mistakes only)

Paper2:
section A = 52 marks (loosing 8 marks only!!)
section B =16 marks ( loosing 4 marks only!!)
section C =15 marks ( loosing 5 marks only!!)
total mark for Paper 2 =83 marks out of 100

Paper3:
Section A: 25 marks
Section B: 10 marks
Total marks for paper 3: 35 marks out of 40 (loosing 5 marks only)

Overall marks : 163 /190
..in percentage it's gonna be 86%....Ops! less than 90%!!! ..still not enough to get A+??
Usually last time with this kind of mark u may get an A1..threfore,I'm asking u again..
are u DREAMING or AIMING for an A+???????????

..If u think positive..sure BOLEH punyer!!
gud luck :)

SPM Physics:Radioactive

I personally belived that this final chapter of form 5 is much easier than chapter 3. All u need is to do lots of reading plus some memorizing stuff. Ok, whats important in this chapter?

First of all make sure u know the structure of an atom & how to write its nuclide notation. Then u must be able to define the following:
Radioactivity?
Radioactivve decay?
Radioisotope?
Half life??..(ops not the one u played in the video game)
Do i need to provide the definition..well,i dont think so, coz its all in your book. Take it out and memorise them b4 your trial exam..

Next what's important??
If u understood the concept of radioactivity..there are 3 common type of radiation that we learned in SPM. They are alpha particle, beta particle& gamma ray. You must be able to identify which detector can be used to detect these radiation. Besides that, for each radiation, u need to memorise and differentiate their characteristic such as:
1. its nature,e.g alpha exist as helium nucleus with nuclide notation He4/2
2. penetrating power
3. ionising power
4. track pattern in cloud chamber.
5. effect of electric field
6. effect of magnetic field
Again i will not elaborate further coz its all in your book. If u dont read then u have a hard time to memorize them. However i 'm providing u with some useful videos from the net.. so u can get clearer picture about alpha, beta & gamma.

Are you studying last minute??

According to Charles Law,under constant volume when the temperature of the gas increase..its PRESSURE increases as well. The higher the temperature, the higher the pressure.

Yeah the hypothesis is so true epecially when we 're moving towards August 2010...The temperature is rising, day by day..& most of the form5 students are started to feel the heat. To make it worst..the PRESSURE is mounting as high as mount Everest . One of my student said.."Sir, i rasa nak muntah everytime nak revise..so many things to cover.sejarah lah..add maths, chem,bio..not to mention physics..
I answered her.."well thats the price for studying last minute :) " So if u are a form4 who accidentally reads this post...i hope u'll make a better preparation for 2011.

So the big question mark now is how to study last minute??? Is it possible to get good marks??
For me its very subjective, it depends very much on how u handle the mounting pressure. I even had a student who fainted after knowing a BAD trial results..coz if u did it badly in trial, u have about a month to recover. It sounds so frightening right ;) but some of u couldnt be bothered coz at the moment they have this 'tak apa' attitude.

Let's imagine that u are watching a football match. There's only 5 minutes left before referee blow the final whistle. Suddenly u can see players of both team are so energetic. They start to work as a team.. chasing and passing the ball accurately. They are very focused & determined to get the winning goal. Finally the ball touches one of the net in a dying moment and a group of players chasing the goal scorer. Meanwhile the other team lie down on a grass with despair. It all happened in a very last minute of the game..

anyway ..Is it possible to 'score' if we study last minute??

If u analyse the football match.. One team managed to do it and the other one has failed.The same results goes to last minute study.
So if u are doing last minute revision, make sure u stay focus & keep your mind in a positive mode.
Having study group also will help..as in a football match, u'll work better if u help each other. In football the coach helps them to set things right and for u guidance from teacher/tutor will be helpful..but its all rely on how good u are in handling the situation. The main principle for effective last minute study is to leave everything behind and set your study as your only priority. You can leave your problems with your friends, family and even forget about you don't even have a time to 'FACEBOOK' and play PS2. In the end, if u think positive..u can definitely make it!
Here some interesting tips for those 'last minute' students

SPM Physics: Logic gates

Yesterday i teach one of my weakest student logic gates concept. She is the type who has problem to understand physics concept properly. Somehow, when i showed her a concept of logic gates, she tends to be addicted doing logic gates exercises... This shows that she is actually good in logical thinking.

Logic gates is actually a very simple concept learned in Electronics. In fact i can say that it is one of the easiest subtopic provided if u are able to think 'LOGIC' :)
However u need to understand the following basic logic gates i.e NOT,AND,OR,NAND and NOR.
U must be able to construct the truth tables for those gates. Truth table helps us to undderstand the behavior of the logic gates. In other words, it shows how the input of a logic gates relate to its output.

Usually students are a bit blurred on this topic coz they wondered what is actually '1' or '0' means?
keep in mind most of computerised devices work on electrical flow where a HIGH voltage is considered as '1' and LOW voltage as '0'. Logically, it is sorts of a switching system which requires some inputs in order to produce an output.

In SPM, u need to practise lots of paper2 questions on application of logic gates. Usually the question can be tricky..so u must really understand the condition explained in the application.
When actually they apply this logic gate concept??

Well i can give u a simple example.. if u used to wash your clothes using washing machine..we can create a LOGIC input for the machine which looks like this:
to rotate the motor, we need to fill in the water untill to a certain level. Once the water rises to that level..the input will be '1'... but some how it still not rotated...kenapa ya? Ops, may be you lupa nak tutup the 'top cover'. Here where the logic gates play its role..the rotating motor represents the output which depends on the input of the water level & the 'top cover' position. So it needs both input to be '1', then baru dia rotate..
Thus we can use AND gate in this application.

SPM PHYSICS

Girls!!, if you like to know more about Topic 8 (ELECTROMAGNETISM) and other topics also, do not hasitate to click the link below:
http://www.physics4spm.com/search/label/3.1%20Analysing%20Electromagnet

10.2 Radioactive decay

1. Radioactivity is he spontaneous and radom disintegration of unstable nucleus to become more stable nucleus by emitting energetic particle and photon
2. Disintegration of unstable nucleus also known as decay.
3. The process is said to be spontaneous because it is not triggered by any external factors like temperature and pressure.
4. Which and when the nucleus will decay is unpredictable and uncontrollable. That's why this process is a random process.
5. There are three types of radioactive emission. They are alpha particle, beta perticle and gamma-ray. The nature and characteristics of the emission are tabulated below:

Topic 10 RADIOACTIVITY

There are several subtopic under the main topic Radioactivity. Let me list down all the subtopic first:
10.1 The nucleus of an atom and the structure of atom.
10.2 Radioactive decay
10.3 Radioactive detectors
10.4 Half-Life of radioactive source
10.5 Radioisotopes
10.6 Nuclear energy
10.7 Management of radioactive substances

10.1 The nucleus of an atom
In this sub-topic student should know how to:
a) describe the composition of the nucleus of an atom in terms of protons and neutrons,
b) define proton number (A) and nucleon number (Z)
c) use the nuclide notation
d) define the term isotope

For this subtopic what you have learn in Chemistry is applicable here so all you have to do is answer all questions in the module given.

I will continue with sub-topic 10.2

Physics
SPM
Transistor as Control Switch

Today i'm going to continue our discussion about light control switch by using transistor & LDR.Before we go further, firstly u must understand the characteristic of LDR?LDR is a type of resistor known as Light Dependent Resistor which is very sensitive towards light.Important point about LDR that u MUST remember:In a BRIGHT condition, its resistance DECREASE.In a DARK condition, its resistance INCREASE.Now lets have a look at the circuit below, describe what happen at NIGHT???

At night,

LDR's resistance increase much higher than the fixed resistor,
A higher voltage is supplied across the LDR,
This increases the flow of base current and switch ON the transistor,
The bulb lights up
So what if we want to switch ON the bulb in the morning & close it at night?Its simple, u just need to change the position between the LDR & the 10k fixed resistor.The same concept applies in Heat Control switch, except instead of using LDR we use THERMISTOR.Again, its important for u to memorise the chracteristic of a thermistor, i.e; at HIGH temperature - Resistance DECREASE, at LOW temperature - Resistance INCREASE

SPM FORM 5 PHYSICS



Cathode Ray Oscilloscope (C.R.O)

To understand this topic, u must understand the following definition:
Themionic emission: - the release of electrons from a heated metal cathode
From the process of thermionic emission, we can produce cathode ray... By the way, what is chathode ray??
Cathode ray defined as a beam of electrons moving at high speed in a vacuum.
This cathode ray concept is widely used in making TV. In SPM, we apply its concept in understanding the uses of Cathode Ray Oscilloscope.

Before applying CRO, u must understand the properties of the cathode ray itself. Make sure u hafal all those properties such as:
-moving in straight line
-negatively charged
-deflected by electric & magnetic field and etc.

Once u've understood & investigated all the properties..then lets have a look at the structure of the device called CRO:
Like it or not this chapter requires u to hafal all those structure of CRO. Besides that, u need also to memorise their function as they might be asked in the exam.
Then, u must understand the working principle of CRO and how to calculate the voltage + frequency of a waveform.

To calculate the voltage & frequency, u must understand to use 2 important button in CRO, i.e
'Y-Gain' & 'Time base'

FORM 5 PHYSICS

CRO:Measuring Voltage & Frequency

Ok, today i'm gonna continue our discussion on Cathode Ray Oscilloscope. In last post i did mention one of the purpose using CRO is to measure voltage & frequency of a waveform.
To do this, we must understand the function of 'Y-gain & Time base'

Y-Gain:
- it is used to set the scales for the y-axis. Let say if u set the button at 10V/division..it means the y-axis has a scales of 0V,10V,20V,30V .....i.e each division has 10V.

Time base:
-meanwhile timebase is used to set the scales for x-axis. If the timebase is set to 10ms, i.e each division has 10miliseconds.

UNBALANCED FORCES (FORM 4 PHYSICS)

Click the LINK below:
http://segfl.skoool.co.uk/content/keystage3/Physics/pc/learningsteps/UBFLC/launch.html

A TRANSISTOR

This topic is a bit tricky, coz in SPM we didnt learn the actual details about transistor working principle and u need to memorise certain facts. In order to understand a transistor, firstly u must get to know its structure & terminal. Transistor has 3 terminals, i.e a base, collector & emitter terminal. There are two type of transistor, please make sure u memorize the different between them.

The first type is called N-P-N:

The second type is P-N-P:
Main function of a transistor is to amplify small current.So its a must for u to explain how does a transistor amplify the current.

Transistor


Transistor as Current Amplifier:
Transistor is a component which relies on the current that flows in its base terminal.
A small changes in base current (Ib) causes bigger change in collector current (Ic).


The analogy is simple, if u attend morning assembly in school..usually the teacher was talking using a microphone. What actually causes the teacher's voice become louder?? Is it the microphone alone??
Actually..its the amplifier which has a transistor that did the job to amplify the voice.
Please make sure u refer your reference book on its circuit arrangement as well as its experiment.

Transistor as a switch:
This part is important in SPM..u must be able to understand and memorise its circuit arrangement.
To switch ON the transistor, we need to have:


a higher resistance in the base-emitter circuit
this causes a bigger voltage dropped across the resistor in base-emitter circuit
In the end there's enough current flowing thru the base terminal to switch ON the transistor
i'll discuss detail abt this soon.....to be continued

SEMICONDUCTOR DIODES

In SPM, u must be able to describe semiconductor diode. How to describe it??



When p-type & n-type semiconductor is joined together, a semiconductor diode is produced.
At p-n jucntion, a depletion layer is formed when the electron from the n-type fill in the hole in the p-type.
Connecting p-type to the +ve terminal and n-type to the -ve terminal causing the electron in the n-type to be pulled and filled in the holes across the junction. This movementof electron allow current to flow, thus the diode is forward biased.
When the connection is reversed i.e p-type to -ve terminal & n-type to the +ve terminal, the diode is reverse biased. Electron is pulled away from crossing the jucntion, thus no current is flowing.
This shows that diode allow current to flow in one direction only.

Semiconductor diode

Then u must appreciate the function of diode as rectifier. What is rectifier???
Diode as rectifier can convert AC current into DC current.
The process of conveting AC to DC current is known as rectification. There are two type of rectification that u need to understand in SPM. For each case u must hafal the waveform and its circuit connection. Lets analyse both of them;


1. Half wave rectification (refer to your book, then watch this!)

2. Full wave rectification (refer to your book, then watch this!)

After knowing the different waveform produce for those rectifiers..u also need to draw the waveform appear due to capacitor smoothing effect. Make sure u refer them back in your reference book.
Good luck guys!!!

THE 10 DONT'S IN PHYSICS

While you are studying:

1. DON'T simply memorize the physics' facts without understand the whole concept.

2. DON'T postpone to seek explaination on any concept that u do not understand. Go & seek your teacher's explaination during & after the class. Otherwise find a tutor or good friends that can help you to solve these problems.

3.DON'T simply revise without doing any exersice. U need to practise what u've read.

4.DON'T rely on just one book to study for your SPM. U should also refer to your teachers' notes or other notes available through the net.

5. DON'T revise without knowing the objective or learning outcome of each subtopic. U must know what is the purpose of studying that particular sub-topic. Refer the learning outcome in your text book.

6. DON'T simply study without knowing how to relate each concept into its real life application. Please refer the application section for each subtopic.

7.DON'T simply look at the model answer without trying the questions.

8. DON'T say that you've completed revising physics's formulae,LAW & Principle until u've enabled to design their experiment.

9. DON'T study a subtopic without knowing how to relate it to other subtopics. For example while studying Pressure, u must relate certain concept about Pressure in what u've learned in chapter 2, i.e Forces & motion.

10. Finally..DON'T hate physics. If you hate it.. you've put more pressure on yourself. Just enjoy studying it and try to fall in love with this lovely subject :)

For all my students, if you apply all these tips from now on, inshaAllah you won't have much problem in your 2010 SPM.
Good luck & all the best!

Facts about Waves

1. Waves transfer energy without transfering the matter.
2. Transverse wave's particles vibrate perpendicular to the wave direction.
3. Longitudinal wave's particles vibrate parallel to the wave direction.
4. The amplitude of a wave determines its energy.
5. Higher amplitude has greater energy.
6. Damping of wave causes decrease in amplitude & energy.
7. Waves' wavefront is always pependicular to the direction of the waves.
8. Waves undergo all of these phenomena; reflection, refraction, diffraction &
interference.
9. Water,light & electromagnetic waves are transverse waves.
10.Coherent waves have same frequency & in phase.
11.As the frequency of a wave increases its energy increases and its wavelength
decreases.
12.Shorter waves with higher frequencies have shorter periods.


Facts about Light Wave

1. Light is a transverse wave
2. Light slows down, bends toward the normal and has a shorter wavelength when it
enters a higher refractive index(n).
3. Medium with higher refractive index has higher optical density.
At the critical angle a light wave will be refracted to 90 degrees.
Blue light has more energy,a shorter wavelength and a higher frequency than red
light (remember- ROYGBIV).
4. Monochromatic light has one color, frequency & wavelength.

Facts about water waves

1. Water waves moves faster at deeper region. This change in speed causes refraction
of water waves.
2. Water waves has longer wavelength at deeper region.
3. Deeper region is less dense than shallow region.
4. Water waves bended towards normal as it moves from deeper to shallow region.
5. After diffraction, water waves amplitude decrease thus its energy decrease as
well.However its speed, wavelength & frequency remain constant.

Facts about sound waves

1. Sound is a longitudinal waves.
2. Sound is produced through vibration, thus compressing & stretching the
surrounding air molecules.
3. Louder sound has bigger amplitude.
4. Sound with high pitch has higher frequency.
5. The sound that we hear is known as 'audio sound' that has freuency between 20-20
khz.
6. Those sound below 20hz is known as infrasound. While sound with frequency beyond
20khz is known as ultrasonic.
7. Sound require medium to travel. It travels fastest in solid> liquid> gas.
Sound can't be heard in vacuum
Therefore..Starwars' sound effect in outer space is a myth :)

Form 4 Post mortem

Salam Semua.....

Welcome to the month of February , the month with shortest no.of days but lots of public holidays :) [ Hari Wilayah (1st Feb) ,chinese new yr(14-15 Feb) & maulidur rasul (26 Feb)]. This is the month where teachers gonna be strugling to cope with their lesson plan as scheduled. By the way, i'm not gonna discuss about the lesson plan.
I will start my discussion with a simple question to all SPM candidates:
How many hours did u spend to revise form 4 chapters in a week ???

If your aswer is NO & have done nothing on form 4 so far, i think u need to reorganise your study plan. I believe most of u have forgotten most of the important physics facts in form4. If u dont have proper form4 revision plan.. u'll forget lots of things.

Ok some of them argued that their brilliant classmates dont need to revise them every week. Well i asked them back, ..Do u think they were telling u the truth??? Do u really know what these 'A' students are doin at home?? Anyway..ask your self again..Do your brain processor work as fast as their 'pentium dual core processor'??? If the answer is NO, then u better slap your face NOW, before its too late!

For this reason i'm asking for those who hardly pass their physics to at least consistently revise form4 topics in a week. For me, if u spend only an hour for form4 topics in a week wont be enough.WHy??..coz u have 3 physics papers to answer in SPM. Each paper will test u any form4 chapters.

For example in paper 3 section B, u will be given an option to design only one form4 experiment.
Let say U might have learned more than 15 experiments in form4. Out of all these experiments only 1 will come out in the exam...so the probability is roughly about 1 out of 15. None of us know which one will come out..Each experiment requires u to memorise the diagram, list of apparatus, procedure..and so on. ..I'm only talking about physics paper3, tak campur other papers as well...
On top of that..u have at least another 8 to 10 subjects plus form 5 topics to deal with. By the way,I think its time for u to do a post mortem on all form 4 chapters!!!
Otherwise, if u dont prepare from now...
Do u think u can understand & memorise all of those form4 topics just 3 months before 'trial' or 'SPM'???

Form 4 Physics: Unit Conversion 2

1. How to convert 2.5 kg to mg.

Firstly you must convert 2.5 kg to g by replacing k with its factor 103
and it will become like this: 2.5 x 103 g
secondly, in order to convert 2.5 x 103 g to mg you must remember that the
factor of m is 10-3 so the value must be multiplied with 103
and that would become like this (2.5 x 103) x 103 mg which then equals to
2.5 x 106 mg

2. How to convert 5.5 µg to kg.

Firstly you must convert 5.5 µg to g by replacing µ with its factor 10-6
and it will become like this: 5.5 x 10-6 g
secondly, in order to convert 5.5 x 10-6 g to kg you must remember that the
factor of k is 103 so the value must be multiplied with 10-3
and that would become like this (5.5 x 10-6) x 10-3 kg which then equals to
5.5 x 10-9 kg

Try this:

a) Convert 4.2 kg to ……… µg
b) Convert 2.8 mg to ……… Kg

Answer: a) 4.2 x 109
b) 2.8 x 10-6

Form 4 Physics: Unit Conversion 1

To master the unit conversion questions my advice is u need to polish your maths basic skills such as conversion & standard form. But in physics,..by now u should already memorised the power of 10 for all the prefixes in Physics like Mega, Giga, kilo, micro & etc.
For example:
Mega = M = 10⁶
kilo = k = 10³

Here some working examples of unit Conversion :
1. 5 kg = 5 (k)g
= 5 (10³ )g
= 5 x 10³ g
( coz k is the prefix for 10³, so just substitute the value of k with 10³)

2. Lets change the unit from km/hr to m/s

7200 kmhr^-2

= 7200 km / hr²

= 7200 x 10³ m

-------- ----

( 60 x 60)² s²

= 5.6 x 10 ^-1 ms^-2

On next example i'll show u step by step how unit m³ is changed to cm³

4. 125 cm³, lets change the unit to m³

125 cm³ = 125( 1cm x 1cm x 1cm ), now we wanna change the unit cm to m,

coz prefix centi (c) means, c=10^-2,so we subst symbol c with 10^-2

= 125( 10^-2m x 10^-2m x 10^-2m)

= 125( 10^-2 x 10^-2x 10^-2) (m)³ see, the unit now changed to metre cube :)

= 125(10^-2) m³

=125 x 10^-6 m³

We can also rewrite it in standard form ,1.25 x 10^-4 m³

Happy learning!!!!

What are you waiting for?

Hi everyone..

Pejam celik..We 're now in the final week of January 2010. Soon January will be leaving us...cepatnya masa berlalu kan :)..

Usually every new year we'll try our best to kick our bad habits and start a new life. If u r a form 5 student.. i think u have to seriously think of your SPM preparation. In other words u must plan & start to work on your SPM target... so that u'r mentally ready to face SPM challenges on November.

I strongly advice u to write your target on a piece of paper and paste it in your room, on your table, etc, etc.... After that do some weekly F4 & F5 revision plan for all subjects especially Physics since it is quite a tough subject . You need to do proper planning..Remember!..failing to plan is planning to fail. For this reason, i attached an example of weekly REVISION PLANNER:

So what r u waiting for.. have a cup of coffee, a paper and a pen, and reflect: What kind of action plan will u take to make you as a successful SPM 2010 candidates.

Lets get a fresh start in this new year b4 its too late!

SPM 'A' Tips:Manage your Time

Do you frequently feel overpressured by the amount of home work you have to do? ..or do u feel these homework disturbs your revision plan?
Why i asked these questions coz lately most of my students complaining they have less time to do revision...and the common excuses given was that, 'too much HOMEWORK'.
Ok..for me u should'nt treat your homework in a negative way. What i mean is..dont do the homework just to please your teacher. U should treat it as part of your revision plan. For example if u are in form 5, your teacher will assign u some homework or PEKA that need to be done daily or weekly. In order to pass up your homework on time,some of u tend to do it by either copying the answer from reference book or your friends' book. In the end, u dont understand a thing from it. If u feel that u are one of them, i'm sorry to say that u've wasted your valuable revision time. By right homework is an opportunity for u to revise what u've learned. Don't simply do it without knowing how to digest and understand all the concepts that being asked. Usually the homework can let u revise your form5 chapters. Take this opportunity to really understand all the Frm 5 concepts.
To get an A in physics, time management is very crucial. U must really plan your time. I always remind my students about time management bcoz u have at least 9 subjects to revise. All these subjects will be examined based on what u've learned within this 2 years'. For physics itself, u have 10 chapters . For those who weak in this subject, if u dont revise it at all in a week, u'll forget lots of stuff. If this attitude keep on going, then u'll pay a heavy price for it in November. Later, dont blame the schools,teachers or tutors for your poor results.
I personally think, everyone should ask ourselves.. How effective do we spend our time each day?
If the answer is negative, we should really start to manage our time effectively. The bottom line is to put our time to good use. To start managing time effectively, we need to set goals. When you know where you're going, you can then figure out what exactly needs to be done.
Without proper goal setting, you'll waste your time away on a confusion of conflicting priorities..
Without goal setting also, i dont think Christiano Ronaldo can become one of the best footballer in the world while Usain Bolt can become the fastest man on earth..
By the way, we tend to neglect goal setting because it requires persistent & continuous effort. What we fail to consider is that a little time and effort put in now, will save enormous amount of time, effort and frustration in the future. If u are a form 4 student who accidentally reading this post,i suggest u better put off your 'honeymoon' plan :)
I think thats it for now..may u gain something from this post. i wish u can start to manage your time efectively b4 its really TOO late...
