when to start tuition for yr 10 entry sehs

din

yeah, you're right but the thing is i alr tried researching practice papers for this yrs exam and it didn't work out cuz whatever i practiced didnt come up on the exam, so should I start a private tutor and js buy prac tests for home and ask questions to the provate tutor, cuz i dont want to make the same mistake again.

MMHS

MMHS fr? I started with a private then moved to a place called st vincents

MMHS

yep i literally started my prep on the 1st of march this year

MMHS

went straight to james an

NOSSALSUCCESSBUTNOTGOING

i started early year 6 and started preparing intensively start of this yr

MMHS

yea

NOSSALSUCCESSBUTNOTGOING

MMHS i swear james an is not accurate and they still have so many ppl get in

MMHS

NOSSALSUCCESSBUTNOTGOING nah james an is good for english and some parts of maths, they extend you a lot which is good but also bad, overall rate them a 7-8/10

MMHS

well i guess some of the best advice for future students:

Don't be pessimistic, me and others made this mistake when having a positive outlook increases hope and relieves the mind, this is a very hard thing to do tho
Don't worry if your friends have had way more time to study than u, one of my friends did tt6 and tt8 so like almost 3 years experience and didn't get in, while i manages to get in with like 3 months because I used my materials well and used them over and over.
I heard people saying to read books but honestly this didn't really help in the 3 months i had so I just bought a vocab book
Don't piss around in your tutoring, you may regret it
Ask for help
Watch Arnav Kadian bc he legit saved me from pessimism at rock bottom lol

MMHS lol fr i was studying words in a dictionary

NOSSALSUCCESSBUTNOTGOING

MMHS yeah niceee

MMHS

henderson is good but pricing is horrendous

NOSSALSUCCESSBUTNOTGOING

MMHS depends how commited you are

MMHS

yea

MMHS

but still lol, you can get pretty much just as good at hendersons as james an, james an is probs better with eng but hendersons maths, but paying 1000 extra lol

din My friend last year when he did the test had a method that I thought was really stupid but worked really well for him(he got superior). Basically all he did was memorize really intricate lines that can be used broadly then implement it in different scenarios depending on the prompt. I actually used this method for my writing this year for year 10 entry although I haven't gotten my results yet. One example I did was use "that tearful stare encroached straight into my soul" which basically meant "The sad person was staring at me and I felt sad for them". But biggest tip is to read literature and high level novels which was specified before.

Illiman Ndiaye yes

mhsbandar

NOSSALSUCCESSBUTNOTGOING
