Promos
The atmosphere is just not right for me to be preparing for Promos. In high school, your CCA, project and wtv crap which you have will always be suspended before your EOYs, but my mind is currently filled with PW, ONLY. It's one thing which I really have to put an effort into. Firstly, There's not reason for me to take a H3 without getting A for PW. It doesn't serve the purpose of taking an extra subject for an A by sacrificing one of the subjects which you can POTENTIALLY get A for. The next thing is Chemistry Olympiad. It simply doesn't make sense attending so many trainings when you can get gold as long as you put in enough effort (quite different from Math-O). Having only 2 months away from the competition, I am really trying to catch up with what I've been missing out on. Thus, I'm 100% not in the mood to study for Promos, while people like AngRY has started disseminating notes already. Well, I really do appreciate the efforts of such people, doing stuff for the common good. However, I usually do not utilize these stuff efficiently. Cao Yu was kind enough to share his GEOGRAPHY notes with me but the only way it helped me was providing me with one line of information which I needed for my "revision". Well, I had indeed revised, but I just didn't have the right method to score well for Geography. What we truly need is the tips from those people who score A. This is kinda analagous to how the bridge club works. The seniors have realised that it's no use for them to teach me skills in bridge. I don't like spending CCA time learning bridge and neither do I like learning sciences at someone elses pace. It's about passing down the passion which they have for bridge, so that we can learn by ourselves with that passion. Thus, back to my point, it's no use spamming students with content (this is not true for bio as it is indeed the correct method to tackle bio tests), which is what the tutors have been doing right now. The first thing I need is a speed-boost in writing. Hence, I would say that the effort to share notes is futile, and also why I never make my own. To think of it, I still have to agree with 中国高中之王牌——题海战术. It's the best way of tackling questions as it help one to apply his/her knowledge in exams (not in real life of course). However, I currently have no time for that. I can only hope for people to start revision later so that I do not feel so inferior. It's usually like that before the exam, like how I didn't study for Physics block test.
