Tips on how to help your child in this subject

  • Monitoring

– Completion of homework and filing materials

  • Use the school’s resource package to practice (exam

papers from other schools) – Time trial to complete full paper – Focus on weaker skills mastery

  • Internet

– Documentaries on relevant topics

  • Meeting requirements of the questions (LORMs)
  • Using daily life examples to help them understand the

different SBQ skills (application).
