kiasustudent1997:
full geog very stress i sec 3 this year already dying. plate tects is crazy
plate tects is incontrovertibly the easiest physical geog topic. -
Hi, in serious dilemma:
To do geo or history
To do phy or bio
dear seniors, which one easier to score for ‘O’ level ? I heard that history very very hard to study.
headache. -
Geog if you memorize easy to score. This year physics paper was tougher… Bio also memorize easy to score. But I’m probably biased, cos I got A1 for bio but B3 for physics haha.
-
Thk you, senior! if not the kind who can memorise, if so, shld take geog or history? Which is tougher to do, in terms of abt of details to study n remember?
Ya, I heard tt physics is more difficult to score than bio but I guess for bio, must hv flair for it. Not everyone can stomach tonnes of those things to cram into the small tiny cage up in the head! -
Do geog cos they give a greater percentage of distinctions than history

Hi! Just to add quickly: hist/phy are largely skill-based subjects, conversely, geog/bio are content-based subjects. Meaning, for the former, if you are able to master the skills required quickly (eg for hist, SBQ qns etc), you will be able to score. However, its tougher to learn skills quickly, and if you cant get it, you will struggle.
For content based subjs, its really down to pure hard work - cramming. These are the \"safer\" options. Cos worse to the very worse, just sit your ass down, and work damn hard to memorise everything. That way, your As are almost definitely secured.
Either way, stress is there. Perhaps you should pick the ones you have more interest in? Interest in particular subjects is always helpful
All the best! -
That’s certainly helpful, thanks a mil!

My DS is in Sec 2 and is going to choose subject combination. He is wondering whether to choose Pure Physics and chem or Pure Chem and Bio.
He will choose Pure Geog and Elextive SS+History for humanties subjects. -
Not sure whether without physics will have any problem to go to Poly if DS suddenly want to do Engineering after Sec 4.
Following are the subjects that he wants to do:
A Math
E Math
Pure Biology
Pure Chemistry
Pure Geog
Elective Social studies + History
HCL
CL
EL -

Physics is indeed a prerequisite for Engineering. However, I think there is an option to take a bridging course for physics, if he does want to do Engineering the future and did not take it in sec sch.
Both combis are great. However, my only cautionary concern will be that Pure geog with bio together will be an incredibly content heavy combo. So if your child struggles with memory work or isn't particularly hardworking (and is not willing to buck up greatly for Os), he may end up having a really tough time, especially for the final exams/Os when students are required to master ALL content.
