What should I do (4 Viewers)

[Lwang]

Last week Saturday, I get my timetable of preliminary, I already start the past paper of Maths Ext1 at beginning of this term. I was try to do Maths adv past paper today but get stuck quickly, I thought I need redo textbook question again.

For biology, I trying to make notes on module 1 and 2, module 3,4 already finish, but I still don't know the past paper question, I think I might need do my tutorial question again and Excel textbook too

For physics, I know roughly module1,2 about but weak on module 3and 4, this is theory only. For prac and graphing, I don't very confident.

For chemistry, I really suck on naming compound and understand what they are, they are my first challenge and I need finish them and then move on

For Esl and CLC, I feel good but not that very good. Esl need creative reading and my writing level is B.(I think)

And my biggest weakness is low action energy, last year surely I'm very powerful but now it's just lazy and don't want to move on, I don't why

First off, if you’re still making notes, try to finish them quickly — ideally within a day or two. Notes are only useful if you actually use them for revision, so don’t let them drag on.

Maths Advanced: Go back to textbook questions until you know each topic inside out. Don’t stress if you haven’t done many past papers yet — they’re helpful, but not essential if your foundation is strong. Personally, I didn’t start past papers until two weeks before my trials, and I was still scoring above 95% because I knew the content thoroughly.

Maths Ext 1: Since you’ve already started past papers, keep doing them, but when you get stuck, always go back and revise that topic properly before moving on. That way, you’re actually filling the gaps instead of repeating mistakes.

Biology: Don’t jump into past papers too early. If you don’t understand the content, you’ll just get lost. Finish your Module 1–2 notes first, then use tutorial and textbook questions to test your understanding. Once you’re confident, then move to past paper questions.

Chemistry: Naming compounds is fundamental — if you don’t know it, everything else becomes harder. Dedicate a solid block of time (even a whole day) just to master naming conventions and practice until it’s automatic. Use YouTube and examples to make it stick before moving on to more complex topics.

Physics: Focus on modules 3 and 4 since that’s where you feel weaker. For practicals and graphing, practice step by step — these skills are less about memorising and more about doing. Look at worked examples and make sure you can explain why each step is done.

ESL & CLC: You’re already in a good place. Keep refining your writing for ESL — even moving from a “B” to an “A” comes down to practice and feedback. For creative tasks, read sample responses and borrow techniques (vocabulary, structure, imagery).

Finally, about motivation: low energy is normal before exams, especially when you feel overwhelmed. Break your study into small, focused chunks (e.g. 25–40 mins) and reward yourself after finishing. Momentum builds as you tick things off, and that “lazy” feeling often disappears once you get started.
