          It is not uncommon for students to drop their grades in sec3 as there is a big jump from sec2-3. But with good guidance, students in sec 3 can catch up and excel in their O levels.

          I engaged one ex MOE teacher who specialises in teaching Mathematics and Social Studies for O levels students. He had been teaching in a well-known school for a few years and had produced remarkable results. Most importantly, he is patient and teaches according to his students' pace. Heard that he is conducting June holiday workshop next month for Social studies.
          This is his hp no 90104931, I dun think he will mind me putting his hp no here, since it's free advertisement. Or u can reach him at [email protected]. Hope your child will do well in the O-levels!

            For sec 3 usually school covers abt 80% of the school syllabus for the subjects. For sec 4 sch coverss the rest and mostly will do revision. Sec 3 is rather impt. Can try get pte tuition or enrol to tuition centre. For effectiveness, can go for one to one pte tuition.

                    My dd will be taking o levels next year. Does anyone have any preparation tips to share? I am a bit worried cos she has not done well for literature for this CA, which is the only humanities subject she has. Biology & chemistry are also in the B range.

                      worriedparent:

                      My son has done very badly in his Sec 3 Mid-Year Exam, esp in his core subjects of E. Maths, A. Maths, Physics and Chemistry.


                      Can anyone help?

                      Which school is he from? My son is also in Sec 3 this year. He also complain that his maths papers are very difficult. He hasn't get back the results yet. Maybe somehow warning me first of his results first 😢

                        Definately good advice is to start early in preparing for the OLevels. Most of the students I have seen get A’s got serious about preparation around the June timeframe. What can be tough are some of the early Sec 3 topics since it was more than a year ago for many students. That’s why I start on those in my June Physics classes.
