This happened to my sister too. The examinations are meant to appraise the student's competencies and prowess in the given discipline under the premise of a set of criteria that we, siblings, guardians and parents, often overlook. However, here are my tips for excelling, at best, at any kind of subject in the primary school curriculum in a nutshell:1. For any kind of examination, the questions will be different, not to say unique. However, I have realized that the practice questions prior to the questions being tested have some similar elements , but they can only be perceived by perspicacious people - people who have the predilection to pay attention to nuances and word formations. There is no point perusing the textbook again and again, because that modus operandi will only entail a Grade 2 at best. The vital purpose of studying is to grasp the idea and technicalities of the subject, and to train your thinking skills to level 99.2. Studying is meant for the greater good. Studying is not a game. It is not a competition. Tuition must not be compared to crowns or gold from which the affluent can reap much more benefits than a student who has an impoverished background. That is not to say that I am advocating for anarchy, or for the abolishing of tuition centers, both public or private. We already have the resources from Popular bookstores to study. Assessment books can help, but yet again the interaction between someone who is a novice and the other who is a maestro must be emphasized. There are in fact many ways to study, a plethora of them. But first of all, we must appreciate the limit of our knowledge and the philosophy of studying. We must only study within the school syllabus if we want to achieve exemplary results. We can also study outside of the school syllabus, but only if you can tolerate the fact that the grades would not be good as envisaged.
