Talking Potato: Study Tips.

Assalamualaikum and hi guyssss! :)

So... as you can see... my title for today's post is 'Study Tips'

I may have the most boring title ever and who would like to read a study tips coming from a 16 year old kid? Huh. Alright... So... Let's get started! By the way... Let's smile and say Bismillah before reading my next sentence :)

.....

Maybe some of you out there will be having important examination at the end of this year... For example : PBSMR (I don't know what is this but since PMR is abolished so they exchanged it with PBSMR which consists all subjects but only 4 will be on the PBSMR at the end of this year. If I'm wrong, please tell me. I don't have any idea what PBSMR is... Back in my days, it was called PMR. I sound so old...LOL.)

If you're going to face SPM this year... I can give you a few tips on how to study but I'm only 16 and if you can't use my method of studying... I'm sorry.

Alright. My post is getting a little bit boring and too formal doesn't it?
I feel ya. I feel your boring-ness even though I can't see any of you out there... LOL. Boring-ness. Is that even a word?

Okay. To heat up the spirit...
I'm going to post a funny picture... So you won't be bored or stressed thinking about your final examination...

HAHAHA. Funny right? Okay. So smile... :) Don't be stressful. :)

So. Okay. Some of you may wonder, why is this kid trying to give me study tips? Is she even a good student? What did she get for her PMR? Why won't she show it? If she think she's good enough to give me study tips, well then. Be a man. Show me your result.

So.. I will show you my result. At the end of this post. So. NO, DON'T SCROLL DOWN YET. READ WHAT'S WRITTEN HERE. Okay?

Be patient my dear love. So...

My study tips ( That's a very long introduction right? Ha ha ha)

Firstly... since it's only January. You may think... "It's only January bro. Why should we study? I mean, that's not cool bro. No cool"

Who cares about being cool?
Do you think you can get a job by being cool?
Alright. Refresh your mind and think about this.

There are so many things to learn about. And you only have a couple of months.
I'm not trying to scare you.
But really. You really need to start studying now! After you finish reading my post......

Hmm. But remember, don't be stressful :)
Smile. If you don't understand anything. ASK.
But don't annoy your teacher.
What I meant here is... Don't ask questions that you've already know.
I mean, don't waste your teacher's time because you were trying to impress your teacher by asking questions that you've already know.
ASK QUESTIONS THAT YOU REALLY DON'T KNOW OR UNSURE ABOUT.

Secondly... DO A LOT OF PAST YEAR QUESTIONS.

Tbh, I don't like reading school books. Like revision books etc,
But I enjoy reading novels.
So, if you're like me, you should do a lot of PAST YEAR QUESTIONS.
But since PMR is abolished, I'm not sure whether they still sell this kind of book :

I recommend this book because they put Form 1 Chapters, Form 2 Chapters and Form 3 Chapters separately so it is easy for you to know which chapters you need to improve.

So, the government will give you RM 100 right?

I recommend you to buy books by using that money.

Don't waste your money on going to cinemas or malls. You can do that after the examination at the end of this year.

This is what I bought with the RM 100...

As you can see, I bought the same book right? Practice makes perfect...

But since it is PBSMR, I'm not sure whether you should buy those books because I don't know what's the format for PBSMR but we still study the same thing right?

So I guess, MAYBE... you can do exercises in those books but ask your teaches about it. Okay?

For History, my teacher told me it is RECOMMENDED to buy past year questions. Because... History questions is based on text books, all past year questions is based on text books. So, read History ( FORM 1,2,3 ) text books. Understand the facts. Don't simply remember it. You might forget.

Some of you may buy the LARGE book. Combination of form 1,2,3 revisions. I recommend you not to buy those books. If you bought it since form 1 then it's okay. But if you want to buy it now, and you're in form 3 and let say you don't have any little bro/sis so... buy something like this...

Small in size but it is very good. Actually, books like this is kind of (for me) better than the large revision books.

The large revision book contains a lot of information that you don't really need.

Small books like the one in the picture is the summarized version of large books.

Okay?

THE NEXT TIP is... be good to your teacher.

This may be the most common tip ever but trust me. It is IMPORTANT to respect your teacher.

If you're a good student, your teacher will give you something like this...

(Those are past year questions and clones)

Next, STAY CLEAN AND WEAR PERFUME WHEN YOU'RE STUDYING.

This is actually very important. Do you feel focus when you study in a dirty & untidy place? No? So, stay clean and wear perfume when you're studying!

You will feel more focus and you'll remember the facts better!

Everyone has a different style of studying, but this is my style. I listen to SONGS.

BUT...

"Some people can study effectively with music playing, while others are distracted by any outside stimulus"

So... it depends to you!

And...

The most important thing is...

Be Good To Your Parents (why do I type like that?)... and DON'T FORGET TO PRAY :)

Our parents' prayers are the most important thing. They raised us up and they want nothing more than seeing us to be successful in life. So, don't make them sad. Make them happy and be good to them! Love them with all your heart and remember this, they're your king and queen ;)
