Hi, as my daughter is attending secondary 1 next year, this kiasu mum would like her to make use of her full time this Dec holidays to get her prepared for Sec 1 education. I heard Geography will be a toughie. Should I ask her to read some materials? Haven't bought secondary school textbooks yet because don't know what school she will be posted to. Anyone can advise?

Spot On! I failed my Geography. The only subject I failed in my first CA1 in Sec 1 XD

Haha i guess you're just not that used to the new subjects to cope with! With 3 more subjects to study compared to primary school, you'll take time to adjust. So don't worry too much, you still have many chances next time and you'll do better when you get the hang of it:)

Not to worry! It's your first CA. After adjustments you would do fine. I remember i improved 16 marks for my geography from SA1 to SA2. And lit around 7 marks. Math around 10 marks! The rest...whether good or bad, it remained the same:/ Just continue to try your best, you'll do fine.

His and Lit are new subj. Try to get some exam papers to avoid surprises in exam. Memorizing cannot help much, ask your teachers to share some framework with you.
