Personal Tips: Chemistry is actually very easy! I used to get D7 for my Chemistry, but with perseverance for 3 months, I scored A1 in
my O-Levels 2008!
- If you cant do a question, use a red-pen to circle it, fold the page! Arrive school earlier, clear doubts with teachers outside the
staffroom.
- You CAN ask ANY of the Science Teachers in your school!
- Be Brave to take the 1st step, and everything will be smooth after that.
Take the first step in faith. You dont have to see the whole staircase, Just take the first step Martin Luther King

Personal Tips: Always remember that if you experience doubts, NEVER HESITATE TO ASK!
Asking the teachers is far better than discussing with your classmates!
- If one teacher cant make you understand, try another teacher. Youll surely get one that suits you!
