hi all i taking combine humanties that is ss and history. I find this subject is very hard as i need to rmb alot of things. Is there any shortcut that i dont nid to read the textbook?
I am also in SS and History :D. But I flunked -_-
Sad to say there is no shortcut for Social Studies and History Elective.
It is impossible to not read the textbook, you have to understand each chapter first. It is true that you must memorize the text, but you also have to know what is going on because in exams the question phrases differently!- There is no point memorising the whole text if you don't understand the question.
Humanities is hard because you don't know what is coming out for O Levels, so you may have to study 3-4 chapters at one go.
You may wish to write down in point-form or mind-map to understand better, because the chunks of paragraph in the textbook is not easy to remember.
For humanities you HAVE to study early, 1 day before the exam is too late.
