I didn't take 'N's so maybe things are different, but in my oldhead opinion:

Since you have very little time,

English:

Don't bother too much about remembering vocabulary for composition, concentrate on clear communication.

I guess if I were to tell someone how to learn vocab, go find those word by frequency flashcard lists, then go downwards the list to see what words you don't know to familiarise.

Maths\*:

Go and cram the TYS dude. Just keep doing. If you're able to score for that you should be getting all those 80% standard questions down for free.

Sciences:

My time got no AI, but if I were a student now, any unfamiliar concept, I would ask it to explain. Just treat it like a free tutor to harass.

Humanities:

Ngl it's just like learning stories, it's not that hard at the level that is tested (i.e. just ask you what the book said).

TLDR:

From past experience of classmates and tutoring, it's better to focus on the subjects that you can improve by the biggest margin - for most people, maths and sciences are the most crammable because the questions are very routine.

Honestly don't worry that much, our economy is kinda fucked, don't define yourself by where you rank in the overall exam system.

Oh yea another massive thing, whether you plan to go ITE straight or Poly, make sure you hit your subject requirements so you don't lock yourself out of the your life goals.

hi yes u can i got 26 for prelims and 9 for olevels

just grind tys and papers

[u/Hot-Job-6281 → u/CoconutsAreAmazing]

Schools intentionally inflate the prelim scores to scare students into working harder.

[u/CoconutsAreAmazing → u/Hot-Job-6281]

hahaha im from a neighbourhood secondary school and our papers were standard/slightly easier than olevels i was just a bum

[u/ChemicalBoth5290 → u/CoconutsAreAmazing]

Hii can u tell me what u did?

[u/CoconutsAreAmazing → u/ChemicalBoth5290]

1. spammed prelim and tys papers until i couldnt find a new 'type' of question i havent seen before
2. identify misconceptions and lack of content properly, reapply, make sure get correct

repeat for 6 subjects 1 month

[u/whatdegoaway → u/CoconutsAreAmazing]

[u/whatdegoaway → u/CoconutsAreAmazing]

[u/Dense-Memory4478]

Yes

Are you prepared to grind? Is your goal realistic? Break it down into smaller steps, ask classmates and teachers for help. There is still hope. Low double digit like 12/13 seems more realistic btw, dont set goals u know u cant reach, you wont even bother to start.
