You will be more willing to listen during lessons of this particular subject.
You will then have more focus on learning.
Even though a subject may be tedious, but at the end of the day you have to meet the passing requirements to promote.
Work hard now and don't regret later. You can drop the subject when you are in JC

Ensure that you have sufficient sleep the previous day.
There is no point to stay up late to rush your work.
