1. Why Every Student Needs an O-Level Tamil Survival Kit
Singaporeโs O-Level Tamil exam is like a language obstacle course:
- 30% marks from email writing (formatting errors = instant grade drop!).
- 25% from vocabulary (misspelling “เฎเฎคเฏเฎคเฏเฎดเฏเฎชเฏเฎชเฏ” = lost marks).
- 20% from listening tests (distractions = disaster).
This Survival Kit gives you the exact tools MOE examiners reward.
