Why Sec 1 students struggle with History
Sec 1 is often the first time students encounter formal History. Many feel overwhelmed because:
​
• History is a new subject with unfamiliar terms and timelines.
• Textbook chapters can feel long, dense, and hard to remember.
• Source-Based Questions (SBQs) require skills, not just memorising facts.
• Students are unsure how much detail is “enough” for tests and exams.
​
Without support, they can quickly lose confidence and interest even if they were strong in primary school.
