~ ADDING ANOTHER 5 - 10 MARKS ~

Remember these few pointers & you'll EASILY score another EXTRA 5 - 10 marks or more.




1) You are sitting for a SCIENCE PAPER NOT an English Comprehension paper!

After answering the basic question, you have to follow-up with the SCIENCE CONCEPT.

SCIENCE PAPER is testing you on the SCIENCE CONCEPTS!

NO SCIENCE CONCEPTS = NO MARKS!


E.g. 
Describe...
Explain why...
Suggest a reason why...
Explain how...
Give a reason for your answer...
Explain your answer....
etc.

You NEED to put in your keywords / key concepts of the topic for all the above type of questions!





2) You need to know that QUESTIONS CAN ALWAYS CHANGE....

BUT....

SCIENCE CONCEPT DOES NOT CHANGE!

The ANSWER will definitely be something which you've LEARNT BEFORE / WRITTEN BEFORE !

Use your R.I.P to identify the Chapter --> Topic --> Science Concept being tested


...and you'll know your ANSWER!







3) Remember that a question may have 2 or 3 parts:  41a, 41b, 41c


DO NOT SOLVE THEM SEPARATELY!

They are 95% of the time INTER-RELATED! 

ALL from either SAME CHAPTER / SAME TOPIC / SAME CONCEPT or continuation of the previous part!






4) BE SPECIFIC !!!!!!!

Water inside the basin / Water inside the beaker....

Water level of the beaker / Water level in the basin)

Surrounding air in the flask / surrounding air outside the flask

When your water / water level / air / etc. IS UNCLEAR, EXAMINER HAS TO GUESS WHICH water level / air /water you're referring to.....it's a STRAIGHT ZERO.



5) LASTLY, Use the TERMS provided IN THE QUESTION! 

STOP USING YOUR OWN HORRIBLE ENGLISH WORDS !!!

HIGHLIGHT / UNDERLINE / CIRCLE !!!



WHEN THE ABOVE ARE DONE RIGHT, YOU CAN EASILY GET BACK ALL YOUR MARKS!

A* for the TOP 10!!! 

85 and above for most of you !!!

....75 and above for some of you!!!


!!! EASILY !!!
