The Great Singapore Race (streaming, top schools,..)  aren’t going to matter when moving to US. In contrast, these study habits are more important when we go to the US. Not a complete list:

• self-learning, independent learning
• spot the weak areas in your own learning
• fuxi, possibly for a deeper, broader understanding
• taking notes
• asking good questions during group discussions
• asking teachers in-depth question
• asking yourself question – essential for clarity, depth of learning
• compare and contrast
• drill down — on important concepts, to reach a deeper understanding
• spotting patterns and trends
• self-quiz
• reading (and re-reading) habit
• questioning, not wholesale acceptance at face value
• self-check after completing a piece of work
• cross-check
• collaborating in group project
• learning from fellow students?
