Want to ace your A Maths at the O levels....???

...then you would have to practise.  Sorry, there are no short cuts here. Practise like it's a competition. It is a tug of war between the math question and you. Do you want to let the question prevail, or will you better it?

I read an article about a Chinese lady who shares her parenting role. She says the Chinese parents will always push their children to greater heights. They will do everything in their power to ensure that their children put in 100% effort to get things right. If they are not right, they will look at what happened and will set the motion to correct it. Then and there! Not tomorrow, not next week. Now! They will master it before they retire.

While I don't fully subscribe to the lady's child-rearing methods, some things she said did make sense. If you want to enjoy doing something, you must first be good at it. Hence, you would have to break into the system and get the body and mind moving together as one. It is the same for music, for sport and for A Maths.  You must first put in the hours. You have to master the subject; not let the subject master you.

No one who ever amounted to anything took the short cut. There is no greatness in the easy way. As the Chinese say, "You have to eat hardship before you can enjoy the spoils."  There is certainly truth in that.  So, this is the first step kids. Learn, practise, preactise and practise some more. Soon you will see the patterns and the answer will jump at you.

Don't believe me? Why don't you try it out?

You will be amazed at what you can achieve by it.

Take care!
