Recently there have been trends of people receiving JCT results from their respectively institutes. After a interview with the principle of Penguin JC (PJC), we have found out some shocking news. It has been noted that only 2% of the J1 level passed one or more of their triple sciences. This is especially shocking as PJC students are known to be top scorers in SML Land. Their results in Maths and language were slightly better with 5% of the cohort passing.

After detailed analyse of the students, it has been found out htat the students who did well for their tests all seemed to share similar trends. Thus SML Times have come up with 5 tips to how to do well for your exams and tests:

Tip 1
Be a loner. Do not get me wrong, but you still have to maintain some degree of contact with your peers so that you can do well for your PW and can correctly get all important announcements made to you. However, at other times try not to hang out with your classmates much. CCA mates are better as their are seniors who can help you with your studies.

Tip 2
Do not under any case, decide to mug with your classmates. Here is a typical scenario of mugging session among students of the same class.

A: everyone, lets mug...
B: ok, every one quiet....
C: shhhhhhhhh!
D: shhhhhh, dun shhhhh or everyone will wan go toilet den we cant mug
A: hahahahaha
C: shhhhh dun laugh!!!
B: btw have everyone herd of the new song by SUN called 'shh haha shh haha'??
D: yeah yeah its super nice la
A: and the guy damn cute la
C: yeah lor yeah lor he very the... ......
------an hour later--------
B: the food from that store super nice lor
C: i like the fishball noodles alot...
A: hey we late for PE liao, better get changing.....

E: hey guys. so how have your mugging section been? i manage to cover e whole phy section on morphing and transformation.

A,B,C,D: ... ...

Tip 3
Pay attention in class and lecture (to the lecturer or teacher or whoever you are suppose to be listening to, not other students or weird teachers walking around the LT trying to distract you) It really helps as you can grasp alot of information which when you ask your frens they will say "he got say meh??"

Tip 4
Join a performing arts CCA or any CCA that you get to seat on a chair near your bag and lag for a considerable amount of time. If you are not in such a CCA, quit your current CCA and join one now. If you cant, too bad. This kind of CCA gives you alot of time to take out your notes to study and do homework. It is especially helpful if you have a test the very next day. However, it is highly not advisable to start studying for a test 3 days before it.

Tip 5
Practise practise practise... Practice makes perfect, i learnt this through math test. Some more more practice increase the range of questions you encounter for different topics, and there are scientific proof (SML scientists of course) that more practise can help you reduce random error, parallax error and most importantly, human error like carelessness.

Additional tip
Be happy and sleep early every night so that you can be fully awake the next day for lessons. And try not to waste your attention capacity during lecture waking your classmates up.

SML Times hope all readers will study hard and prevent the same incident that happened in PJC to happen again. Good luck!!!!!
