Post-prelim....get the engine started again

Now that you've seen your results...it's time to get ready for the real time, the last lap!

Congrats to those who did well, and for those who are disappointed by their results, don't be discouraged... now is the time to answer the 'why like that?' question, see where the problems lie and think about how we can improve.

Don't mope over the results, don't get complacent either, many things can happen over the next 4 weeks. If you learn from your mistakes and keep reading and practising, I'm confident that you can make it! Yes, this is sincere.

A few things to do during this 4 weeks:

1) Learn from the prelims - consultation slots are up already. Book a time with me to go through your paper and find out what went wrong. Prelim papers are important because we usually pitch it at A-level standards

2) Compre Practice - to make sure that you don't forget how to do a compre, especially within the 1.5hrs, you are highly encouraged to attend the compre practices. This time it's really highly encouraged 'cos I won't be taking attendance but if you don't come and you don't have the discipline to practise on your own, I can guarantee that it will be difficult to remember the skills and regain the momentum during the exam.
The timings of the practices are as follows:
3/10 (Wed) - 2pm LT2
11/10 (Thurs) - 1pm LT2
17/10 (Wed) - 1pm LT2
24/10 (Wed) - 1pm LT2

3) Essay Practice - this is the one that I'm highly concerned about because I don't have structured practices planned for you. But if you think that you need to practise an essay every week, I'll be more than happy to make you come and do a 1.5hr essay every week. Other than that, pls practice doing outlines and full essays on your own - look at the other schools' prelim papers (will be put up soon) or the A-level questions
