When you mentioned China and Russia, Unit I or III? (according to 2190/03 syllabus or an equivalent) -
yeap study smartly.
i drop you all a hint to what i actually did. i complied all the papers from year 2002 to 2005 for o levels
write them down on a piece of paper, there appears to be a trend
i did that for my hist after my ss paper, and 2 of the 3 i spotted came out
if i didn't do that maybe can bid goodbye to combined humans already -
Better don't spot questions, they are risky.Even the teachers may be wrong.My sch spotted the questions for elect hist last year and we thought we had it, but in the end none of the spotted questions came out
-
spotting always fail for me. everyone says that there is a trend but how stupid can MOE or the setters get?
-
Pacific War?
Cold War?
(recently a hot topic due to the tensions between USA and Russia, but they already set finished the paper before that) -
Russia as in Fall of Monarchy -----> Life under Stalin
Berlin Blockage's is under Cold War which was already out last yr so i don't really intend to focus study on it.
Donavan: what do u mean by chp1 or 3?
Ghast: Spotting questions seemed to work for me as i managed to successfully spot topics esp for SS/Hist for my previous exams but O lvl's different i reckon, but there's only a 9 main topics and out of it, 4 will come up. so if you detailed study on like 4/5 topics most probably u'll already safe since you will only be required to do 1 SBQ and 1 SEQ ( 2 topics ).
but to also do brief study for the rest of the chpts of course. =) -
My teacher say Cold War is important because almost every year, theres at least one Essay question on Cold War.

is anybody in favour of a thread that's set up for all the spotted topics for history? i'm testing the response because im going to do one for myself. if response is good, i might post it up.
but then again, history only need to study 1 theme out of the 3 themes. 1 theme got 3-4 chapters only.
so how? anybody in favour? -

i guess education is thrown out the window... it's all about scoring points?

Regarding Machiavellianism, there's an interesting little 8-year-old personality test.Originally posted by dahliamorie:

And here's a spoiler if you read it before taking the test.

To put it simply:Originally posted by dahliamorie:
If you spot topics, you may be intelligent at answering exam questions. However, you cannot be considered to be an educated person if you do so... as Bear has pointed out, education has been tossed out of the window. You are completely defeating the purpose of education by trying to spot topics and questions.
Heck, as orionlight and ghast have also pointed out, spotting questions can be highly counterproductive and can backfire spectacularly on you.
I've personally had people chide me for not spotting questions... but hey, they are the ones who usually end up doing worse.
Hell, in a test that I took just a few weeks ago, quite a few people tried to guess what the lecturer would set - and the lecturer pulled off a stone cold stunner on us. You really should have heard the whinings and curses after the end of the paper.
Think about it.

pple, for exam purposes, please don't only spot questions. be sure to study the rest well too. spotting should only be done as a bonus or a last min resort for the exams............
