Which subjects do people score most and least for O lvls?
My guessing is; in descending order of most to least
Art
DNT/Home Econs/F&N
POA
Combine Science
E Maths
English
A maths
MT
and least Combine Humans
for pure sciences
most Chem then Bio followed by Physics.
this is not mine personally but based on OTHER people's opinions eg from school and what people say.
Maths and Physics so hard to score meh :(
That doesn't sound very good...
for me the hardest is maths and sci la
i don't see many ppl scoring sky high grades for english
at least from my current batch
and u left out Mother Tongue
different pple think differently.
i think mother tongue easiest to score leh.
cannot compare one.
depends on what the person is good at.
for the mathematically inclined, math, physic and chemistry, which involves alot of abstract concepts and calculations, will be their forte.
for the humanities inclined, the humanities and the languages may be their forte.
but imo, the most scorable subjects should be math and physics, the calculation-focused subjects. the marking is absolute, unlike in the humanities, where there may be grounds for contention in your essay.

mother tongue is good... y... u can take it twice... 1st try in like may... then 2nd shot with the rest of the subjects.
E Maths the easiest, hands down...
Hardest will be Music..from what i heard from my friend who took Music...
Well, depends
FOr me the hardest to score will be English, chemistry
MT o level i got a B3
F&N wise, u need to have a coursework that is damn solid, cos when they benchmark urs against those from better schools, u wont get shifted down. The place to score for F&N will be the section A and B, mostly just memorise and vomit out. and applying wad u learn. The essay is sometimes hard, depends on ur luck
Combine humans is SS and elective....hard to say also
for my batch... to score A1 for E-math... have to be at least 90/100

You which year? Thats crazy. Are you sure?

yup. our teacher once told us that to score A1 for E-maths, your marks will have to be around 90. that got many of us worried at that time. but yea, most of the people in my class ended up with A1s. I think perhaps the 90 marks is gotten after moderation?
for my batch, I heard that our English was really bad. Highest was only around 60plus, I heard? So they have to moderate like crazy so that there was a sensible amount of A1 students.
Most for me is BIO
Least is A Maths
Mine list is
BIO
EM
GSS
HMT
PHY
CHEM
EL
A MATHS
all the subs are the same, not a prob for me, got straight As for all my 10 subs
i think MT most easiest to score de. my maths ans science CMI -.-

bro, it boils down to the student. but if "Let the students attitude = constant" (=.
i would say easiest to score is
DNT/Home Econs/F&N - teacher guide student on project from the first day.
followed by
Combined subjects - content easier.
then,
Pure subjects.
but if look at real trend, pure students tend to score better. Cos a underlying factors, hmm like teachers teaching top 3 sci classes. Students very 'on'. Geezz miss those days in schools.
I'm really surprised by the number of pple who put maths and physics at the last... :(
Those were my favourite...
Hopefully ExamWorld can help more students :D

Eagle my favourite subjects include E/A maths and Combined Science especially Physics.
E maths, A maths and Physics are rightfully applied mathematics and considered to be part of the natural sciences. There is no room for BS, straight to the point. Easy to score if you understand the questions and apply the concepts. Very rigid.
from what i observe both at A and O lvls, maths is the most common A subject, when someone has As 955 of the time tht subject is maths, maybe because singaporean students comes out as one of the tops in mathematics???
Maths of course the easiest lor. I remember for my O levels, i could do all the questions in paper 1 and paper 2 A.Maths and E.maths and still have like 20 mins to check thro each paper.
