SMO Review Sessions & Mock Papers
[This is posted on behalf of Mr Way Tan]
Following the positive response to last year’s SMO review sessions on YouTube (total 14k views and counting!), I’ll be conducting review sessions again for this year’s SMO Round 1. The schedule and links are as follows:
SMO Junior: 1 Jun 3:00pm (https://youtu.be/EP2dXpdD5Nw)
SMO Senior: 2 Jun 2:30pm (https://youtu.be/Tw3CLCaLnY8)
SMO Open: 2 Jun 6:30pm (https://youtu.be/42LFCwMgTwQ)
New this time, I have also written a set of SMO mock papers, which you can find at the links below. It’ll be especially useful if you’ve run out of ‘fresh’ SMO papers to do! Their difficulty should be comparable to the more challenging years of the SMO.
Junior: https://tinyurl.com/smojunior2022
Senior: https://tinyurl.com/smosenior2022
Open: https://tinyurl.com/smoopen2022
Video solutions to all papers are being gradually released on my YouTube channel.
Hope you will find it helpful, and all the best for the SMO!
