Biology Home Tuition

Challenges in learning Biology in Singapore schools

Students taking Biology often feel that they need to improve on their memorization of textbook knowledge. Teachers tell them that they must draw examples from experiences that they had encountered. Alternatively, they might be required to conjure scenarios that they never would have ever experienced first-hand. Students need to demonstrate that they are prolific intellectuals, reflective thinkers and expressive writers.

Students are experiencing exam anxiety

On 20 August 2017, the Straits Times wrote that an international study conducted by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) involving 540,000 students from 72 countries, suggests that Singapore students – known worldwide for academic excellence – also experience high levels of anxiety.

The poll showed that 66% of students across all OECD countries said that they were worried about poor grades at school, and that among Singapore students, it was 86%

In Singapore, 76% of those polled reported feeling very anxious for a test even if they were well prepared, compared with the OECD average of 55%

Difficult exam questions

School and national exams in Singapore seem to have increasingly difficult questions that are designed and set in novel and unfamiliar contexts. It has become more important for students to be able to apply theoretical concepts in a practical setting.
