Summary for STPM Term 2

Hey guys, how are you doing? I hope that the STPM 2016 candidates are prepared to cope into the "stressful environment" after a two-months rest. It's has been two weeks since schools all over Malaysia reopen.

Feel refreshed after a long holiday? Have you regain all your energy back and able to fully focus on what is ahead? I hope you are. And if you are not ready for the coming battle, my advice to you is that you HAVE to increase you pace. It's never too late to do the right thing (of course not the last day before exam).

Okay, back to the story, Term 2 had been the least stressful term among those 3. Why? Because I am able to have more time for relaxation as there were less homework to be completed. However it is just my opinion and it does not reflect the same for my friends in the Art Streams. They have more assignments and projects that Science Streams student do.

My advice for Arts Streams students, have proper planning, and do not waste even the tiniest time you have. I saw a few of my schoolmates studying in that stream stay awake until late night just to finish their projects in time before the due date. Trust your seniors advices for they also want the best for you.

In this term, my childhood activity came back (Basically for all F6 students). We did colouring in PA!!!! Yes, it is the only interesting thing to do in this term, but the tedious part it you have to be careful and a careless mistake might make you plunged into the depth of horror (Seriously this is no joke). In this term you are required to learn how to analyse and present data from a given passage and turn it into graphs. (Bear in mind it is not easy tho)

In this term, all F6 students have to (compulsory) complete  an PA assignment given by the Malaysia Exam Council (MPM). Each year has a different theme. The most tiring part is that you have be very systematic as you have do research about what you want to do and plan your own writing and analysis. To add on, you will also have to go out and survey, ask people about their opinions to certain issues and topics related to your assignments. After that, you have to edit your findings endlessly to ensure there is no mistake for the teachers to penalise you. Do not worry too much as your teacher will always be there to help you, but at the same time you also have to work hard if you want a good score. This surely makes a huge impact in your final result.

In this term, you will be also studying about Dasar-dasar Malaysia. You will read about different policies that Malaysia government has starting the day the country is established. It sure will make your head spinning with madness.

For Bio students, get yourself fully prepared!!! You will have rat dissection this term. Whether you like it or not, it is a compulsory experiment for Biology this term. Get yourself well prepared for Biology, as this term's topic is about Physiology and it could be a very tough one especially the plants.

Chemistry was fine. We get to learn different groups of elements in a more depth manner, However, do not jump to conclusion and think it will be easy, nope! You still have to work hard to understand what is going on.

For Maths T, hahaha, you will have to welcome back integration and differentiation. You shall have Calculus for this term. No matter how you dislike it, you still have to face it with all concentration. Bear in mind, it can be very challenging if you do not grasp the basics.

Co-curricular activities were okay as well, we had orientation week for the juniors coming in as STPM 2016 candidates. The Form 6 Society had planned an Explorace for them, and I was put in charge for that. Although there were some moments that we had arguments, rejections and misunderstandings but deep down in my heart I thanked them very much. After all, all hands make light work. I was able to learn how to communicate with them and the final result is a huge satisfaction for me.

In conclusion, Term 2 was considered my favourite term. Well, there were some events that make me felt sad and dull but that's what make life even colourful. Hope you are ready for the challenges ahead.
