Full O-Level GUIDANCE AND HELP!

[aseef khan]

You want to know the details of how i 'aced' commerce. Lol!

This is what i did.

I read like three or four chapters from that thin blue book the night before exam and literally fell asleep at 3 am... and then skimmed through the blue book in half an hour in the car (for the first time) while going to my exam center .. and gave Paper 2 just like that.
Wrote whatever came to my mind. Loads of choice, 4 out of 8 questions. I could only make sense of 3 of them.. wrote crap in the 4th one..
I had three papers on the day I had commerce Paper 1, so I did nothing for that. :3

For this reason, i got just an A in Commerce. Didn't really 'ace' it.

But i do know the 'Path' for someone like you.

Read the whole book, whichever book you have. Master it. If not, then throw it away and go straight to past papers.
Open a Paper 2. Solve it question by question. Write the answer down, and check it from marking scheme.

Or a simpler shortcut, skim through all the marking schemes. Read all the questions, and get a general idea in your mind.. or write down in points.. and then see from marking scheme. You'll see that many questions would be repeating. Questions repeat in Commerce a lot. If you do this for all marking schemes, and read the book to, you can get an A* in Commerce, if not a Distinction. But you have to be smart!

what is the name of the think blue book that you mentioned

I need help with pak studies geography. I have my exam in October, and i have no idea how do I prepare. Please give me some tips.

- Read the book completely from beginning to end. Focus on every line, and analyze each paragraph and understand what its trying to say. By the time you're done reading, you should have all the information in your mind. Can't stress enough how important this reading part is. You won't be able to do well without thoroughly reading the book, because the CIE exam can be unpredictable.

- Focus most on Agriculture, Climate, Population, Water Resources. A question is bound to come from these topics every year. In the history of O-Level, there hasn't been a single year when a question on Agriculture didn't appear. It's by far the most important topic, and you should know each and every detail about it. Topics like Fishing, Forests, Transport don't come every year. There rarely is an entire 25 mark question about these topics. So they shouldn't be your top priority. If you spend all your time learning Fishing only to see that no question on it shows up, you'll be disappointed and this will cause you to under-perform in the rest of the important topics. A complete 25 mark question comes on Agriculture most of the time. When I gave my exam back in May-June 2013, I mastered Agriculture, Climate, Population, Water, Power from the book as i knew a question would come on each one of them (They are the core topics.. Not power though, but it's also an important topic with applications in all other topics). Didn't even care much for the rest of the topics, as they can be skipped if you're short on time. Turned out that my prediction was spot on and 5 different questions came on each of those 5 topics, and i easily solved Agriculture, Population and Climate securing 75 marks.
So my point is, master Agriculture completely from the book. Know every single detail about it, enough that you can score full marks on every Agriculture question you face. Then master Climate, Population and Water Resources. Then, if you have time, go through Topography (Mostly a map comes from it), Power Resources, Forests, Fishing and the rest. You should know what's important, tackle that first, then move onto the less important things.

- After you've mastered the book, start practicing past papers. Do latest past papers with time and mark yourself. See what you got wrong, and look at the answers in the marking scheme to know what exactly the examiner wants.

- Give the paper confidently and try to write eloquently and present your points clearly while answering the question. If you write 1 reasons for a 5 mark question, obviously you'll lose marks. If it's a 5 mark question, try to present 5 distinct points. Finish the paper on time, and recheck.

And, To all those worried about getting A's/A*'s...

The following is basically the method of getting A*/A in ANY O-Level subject (for Normal People):

Analyze Syllabus ---> Master book ---> Practice past papers ---> Get an A* [Hardwork + decent amount of Smartness is a prerequisite]

Good Luck!

Hello everyone!

Since there is ONLY one month left till CIE exams.

If anyone wants any personal help or guidance regarding ANY O-Level/IGCSE subject, feel free to message me here on xpc. I can provide you the best tips and tricks to ace these exams, since I finished my O-Level last year in 2014. Most of my papers, especially Maths, Add-Maths, Physics, Chemistry were close to perfect - almost no mistakes.

O-Level is not just about memorizing things from a book. It has a set pattern, and only if the correct strategy is adopted can an A* be achieved. You need to actually understand what the subject is about, and analyze the type of questions they give to be able to score highly. If you blindly go and give the exam, the result might not be what you want it to be. I have seen many cases like this. People expect A's and end up with a B. You need careful and meticulous preparation in order to master a subject to perfection.

Anyways, I gave the following subjects:

English
Urdu Second Language
Pakistan Studies
Islamiyat
Mathematics
Physics
Chemistry
Biology
Additional Mathematics
Sociology
Environmental Management
Business studies
Commerce
Economics
Information and Communication Technology
Commercial Studies
International Mathematics
Travel and Tourism
Combined Science
Human and Social Biology

Alhamdulillah, i got 15 A*'s and 5 A's in them, back in 2014.

So if you need any help, whether it is a past paper question that is troubling you.. or if you can't decide how to prepare for a subject..just contact me (message me here on xpc). ^__^
