Review and Suggested Answers to O Level Social Studies 2016

A surprising paper for the day, Social Studies.

  This Social Studies paper was a shocker, as everyone was betting on Venice and globalisation came out for O Level. For those who wrote to me and heed my advice of studying Globalisation, good for you. The Last Year of the old SS syllabus will not be so predictable, as I have expected.

  This year's SBCS is of expected, leaning towards the new syllabus 2267. Higher order thinking skills that may be of the same standard of Prelim Paper was assessed. Much hybrid question, such as 'at that time' and 'surprised' question came out.

  But, the mere inference of the sources and the keyword of the question would give you a pass for SBCS. So please be sure that you have inferred the source in ALL questions in the SBCS, please. This is important for passing the examination. No inference awards you L1/1m for the question.

  I'm almost certain that for SBQ, 80% of students would have done Diplomacy and 19.9% did Sri Lankan conflict. For the remaining 0.1% were those who were diligent in learning Globalisation or those who listened to my advice.

  For the answers, please email to me, as I cannot post online!
