Stop asking, just do
Ive seen so many of you understandably stressing over prelim grades, and trying to extrapolate to your final As grades.
STOP
I know you all already know this is a dumb idea, but will do it anyways. Trust me i did the same. This will only cause you sm stress for no fucking reason.
Just put in the effort man. Do the work, stop stressing about unnecessary details. It will only cause you to perform worse. Stop reading those comments that tell you its over. Its really not.
Nothing is over until you stop trying.
Personal stats to boost your spirits
Prelim grades 4h2
B for econs (61%)
C for chem (55%)
D for physics (50%)
E for math (48%)
E for gp (46%)
Final grades
A for econs
A for chem
A for physics
B for math
A for gp
Tution only for sciences, gp and econs relied heavily upon consults. Math js grind
Its fucking possible. If my dumbass can, you can.
So stop worrying about things out of your control and work on what is. You cannot control yourself and have to try estimating? Fine, but get to work right after. Do not think about it again.
6 hours a day, 4 weeks straight. (For those who easily burn out)
8-10 hours for those with more resilience.
Also stop scrolling reddit and get to work
Tips:
Econs. Use Ri and Ej papers as samples. 2025 they were quite accurate on the difficulty level and their answers are usually the best broken down. Vjc answers are also lowkey elite, but only some years. I forgot which ones forgive me.
Also ignore papers before 2022, econs difficulty has grown exponentially for some reason.
Maths. Papers papers papers.
Physics. Do not forgo your practical, its free marks. Pls study at least 3 days.
If you get stuck, move on to easy answers to build momentum
Do PAPERS. 80% of the qns are regurgitated concepts. As long as you do your homework, you will be able to figure them out eventually.
Chem. If you suck at application, focus p1,3,4. P3 especially is usually free marks as its all regurgitated content. The answers are also all phrased in a certain way so you need to get used to the answering style needed.
If you are good at application, it just means u dont know your content well enough to score. Easy fix, read notes.
Gp: Ts luck icl 😭. Paper two try your best to understand what the question wants from you instead of the question itself. Phrasing does not need to necessarily be as strict as prelims as Cambridge assesors usually are nicer than gp tutors in terms of marking for phrasing. But do use correct vocab and grammatical structure unlike this sentence.
P1 just read model answers on a wide variety of topics. Try to copy the way the author writes. No need for super fancy vocab. Simple gets the job done.
Just lock in, and enjoy yourself after the break. You will have plenty of time to stress after As are over. For us guys, have fun prepping for BMT (for those pesfit), will either be hell or life changing depending on your mindset and platoonmates.
