Here is some tips for MYE. Listen up people ^^

For science:
- Highlight/ underline keywords in the questions. It gives you clues. [Underline is recommended]
- Do elimination if the answer is not straightforward.
E.g.
How has Technology improved our lives in the following areas?
a) Transportation- what transportation?
b) Communication
c) Medicine and health- this is because there are currently no medicine for cancer.

So, the answer is b.

- Explain in a straightforward and clearcut way. Please do not write grandmother stories.
- Write what is needed, no matter that it is long, you still must write in full detail.
No Pain, No gain

Okay, we are done for this.
