		<description>Hello, TZT.

Grade 12S is a tough year, and the most stressful as most students are busy worrying about their university applications in addition to the exams. You won't have weekly AMS tests, but you'll soon find out that that's not a good thing.

I started 12S two years ago - there's no way I can remember any weekly questions whatsoever. And even if you find them, you won't pass 12S with them alone. Your best alternative is to work:

Try to listen properly in class. Even if you don't feel like it, push yourself to listen. It'll save you having to work as hard at home. Ask questions, participate in class discussions... It'll all help. You may not understand the majority of points when explained to the first time, but keep at it.

If you can manage to do a bit of revision at home, that will help a lot too. I know it's a pain going over material you don't understand, but try to - read the workbook to get the method, complete the questions you've done in class and compare answers at the end. If anything's wrong with your answer, pinpoint where you went wrong and do it again. Slowly but surely, you should feel the method creeping into your mind. :D

If you keep pushing yourself to do the right things eventually they'll become a habit. And that is a wonderful feeling I can assure you!

And, finally, you probably know most of the above information, but having someone say it to you sometimes makes the difference.</description>

		<description>Hey... i love how you described it, it is so true!! :smile: i get like the highest in the grade (im in grade 8):cool: but there are these people like total nerds who study everything they could actually recite the whole textbook... and before the exam they're like "OMG i didn't study a thing. I'm gonna fail" and to those of us who are desperately trying to remeber a piece of vital information.. it gets sooo annoying :mad: i can honestly say i study for my weekly exams only the day before and the only AMS is math.. and the result a 19.6 average... i have an algebra final tomorrow and i'm actually scared... so there's a first for everything.</description>
