Hi friends ๐๐ป Mid-terms exam season is hitting and today I want to share some ๐ต on how I improved my cap drastically by one whole grade in NUS Business and obtained first class honours within a year (I didnโt use all 5 S/U, just 2 in the 1st year) and graduated with a final CAP of 4.58 ๐
Not boasting okay!! I used to only share tips with people I sell my personal notes to but since Iโm graduating alrd, no point keeping these secrets to myselfโจ
Just a little background, for my 1st sem I scored 4 (without SU) โ B B+ B+ B+ A- and I S/U-ed my B.
The 2nd semester I scored A A A- A- B+ which is 4.6 without SU (but I S/U-ed my B+) and the 3rd semester I pulled myself up to a cumulative cap of 4.50 with A A A- B+. Since then, Iโve always made it a point to myself to maintain my first class honours and Iโve been pretty consistent with my A & A-.

โ ๏ธ Do take note of your learning style as it differs from person to person. Mine is auditory & visual which explains why these work for me!

โจI would prepare before every lecture & re-look at what I wrote after lecture
โ I keep track of every to-do that the lecturer wants us to do: ie read page chapter 1 of textbook: post-covid via a schedule book and after-covid via notion
โ what really helped me was annotating my lecture notes with Goodnotes / leaving comments on the powerpoint as the teacher goes through
โ Post-Covid, I voice recorded what the teacher talks about (Voice Memo OR Notability app has a function for this) - this is quite useful especially if you canโt keep up with the pace of whatโs being said.
โจI did notes for almost every subject - mostly via Microsoft Word to save time. For those that I didnโt, I either bought notes online or had seniors who were kind enough to share theirs with me ๐ฅฐ
โ I realised that Iโm very accepting of whatever the lecturer says, so I made it a challenge for myself by constantly asking questions and trying to find answers myself, after which Iโd comment on the notes. Google & my textbook were my best friendsโผ๏ธ
โ Collaborate with your friends to save time! E.g you read the textbook for chapters 1-5 and do notes for those, and your friend does 6-10 and so notes for those.
โจ Donโt forget to practice the papers uploaded! This is a must.

โจ I didnโt actively make friends in uni but my orientation group for orientation week was pretty bonded! A small group of us used to study in the school library every week together on Wednesdays ๐
โจ Itโs really helpful when you group with people who have similar working styles as you. With the same goal in mind, itโs only natural that you do well! ๐ซฃ
โ Donโt be afraid to siam friends who are not really good groupmates ๐คฃ No offense but some people are better off as friends ๐ฅฒโค๏ธ
โจ Donโt be afraid to step up & lead
โ Iโve also been in groups with people who are pretty nua. The way to doing well? Being the one who takes the lead so it gets people thinking & moving ๐ฏ
โจ Be willing to help others
โ I put in a lot of effort into my notes but I also acknowledge that sometimes my friends need that boost and so I lend a helping hand whenever (eg share my cheat sheet and notes)! In return, they also help me whenever I need help ๐

โจ Take time to understand the assessment criteria
โ for me I donโt do that well for examinations bc I have anxiety issues ๐ซฃ so I tend to pick those with higher % of class participation & assignment based work!
โจ Profs are an important factor to whether you do well, pick wisely!
โ Iโve encountered profs who are just SO bad at teaching I have to self-learn everything and it became so effortful because lectures were a waste of time. It made me hate finance so much. In contrast, my marketing profs were (almost) all pretty value adding so I enjoyed classes very much and excelled as a result!
โ If youโre not sure, simply ask around or check for reviews online ๐
โจ Pick something you think you like
โ i did well in marketing because I was truly fascinated about marketing hehe ๐

โจ I think this part really helped me a lot; I ake 8am classes to force myself to wake up and study after.
โจ I tend to pack everything into 1-2 days, max 3 days so that I can prepare for class the rest of the week. Actually this was prob one of the significant changes I made to my life because it really drove my productivity level up ๐
And with that, thatโs how I got to where I am today ๐ You can do it too!!! I really donโt think how smart you are contributes to whether you do well in school, maybe only to a small extent because I can tell you for sure that Iโm wayyyyy more hardworking than smart. But I always try to carry the mindset that my best is enough and that itโs all going to be okay. You can do it, you! ๐ Hope this post is useful for you and do save it if it helps you ๐
