  my teacher told me
  
  Studying SS, u can choose 2 parts.
  
  1. study all about the chapters concerning singapore
  2. study all chapters concerning foreign matters.
  
  for me i choose foreign chapters, i find it easier, like sri lanka, iraq, venice

  Total of 5 themes, memorise 3 themes and your marks for essays are secured (:

  For the new syllabus, I'm memorising:

  1) Conflict and harmony in multi-ethnic societies (AKA Sri Lanka + Northern Ireland)

  2) Sustaining economic developement (AKA Globalisation)

  3) Facing challenges and change (AKA Venice)

  Though I don't know why I feel that Iraq-Kuwait will come out =/

  most school predict tat merger will come out coz the new syllabus dont have merger.

   

  Hmmm... I never took social studies before... but if merger is not important enough to be in the new syllabus... why would it come out?

  I don't take social studies but if anyone want a wager. I will bet against it. Real wager.

  Why? Because I believe the exam board do not do this type of rubbish logic.

  My teacher predicts that SB question will based on Conflict in Multi-Ethnic Societies (Sri Lanka & Northern Ireland) since it has not been tested for the past 5 years.

  However, I heard this question came out in this year's N Level SB Question, so I think the chances of it coming out in O level is minimised.
