Fatal Mistakes when dealing with inferential SBQ
Here's a video to show you what you will look like if you mess up your inferential questions.
Joey's attempt number 1: Failure to understand what an inference is. i.e You simply quote from the source.
Joey's attempt number 2: Making inferences that are completely irrelevant to what the source provides you and failing to read what the inferential question wants.
Joey's attempt number 3: You enter the examination hall thinking you can deal with a SBQ without revising your topics well enough. i.e. You have 0 contextual knowledge.
Cheers,
Mr. Leslie Tay

Using Tables to Revise: Chapter 3- Civilization
History may be boring to study. Honestly, no one likes studying history for examinations. Like it or not, you will have to remember facts. Those of you with a poor memory will find this challenging. One method of revising is to construct a table of what you have learn. In the process of doing up the table, you are actually remembering stuff ! Try it !

CA - Inference Questions
hi all,
Some notes on the 'what' inference question for the SBQ section.
1. Inference
a. Read the question - Find out what exactly is the question asking you to make an inference about.
b. Always use your own words for inference and look beyond the obvious;
c. You can quote directly from the source for evidence;
d. Give 2 inferences (3 if you want to be safe)
e. 2-3 paragraphs
Remember it's all about looking beyond the surface level of the source.
Try the SBQ exercise on pages 44-45 of your workbook. Use the following LORMS to self-mark only have you have done the exercise.
