Don't worry for collaboration and resistance I think it's way more likely they ask the SEA Occupation question and the collaboration and resistance are just part of that q under political impacts.
eg Thailand, cooperation in Indonesia by Sukarno and Hatta, cooperation in Burma against British initially, etc
Allied strats 41-42 I'd be screwed haha I only know 42-45 
Super unlikely they ask stuff THAT specific though, I'm predicting they ask reasons for Jap defeat instead
Thankyou for the reassurance! Just did a super quick wrap on 41-42 and resistance and stuff and heres the gist on 41-42 to help in case:
singapore
• Japanese forces invaded northern Malaya on December 8 1941 and quickly fought their way down the Malayan Peninsula to besiege the British ‘fortress’ of Singapore, which surrendered on 15 February 1942
• As a result, …
It was a devastating blow to Britain’s prestige and strategic position in Asia
Singapore had been Australia’s defence against any Japanese advance. Its fall left Australia vulnerable
130,000 British, Indian and Australian troops became Japanese prisoners of war mistreatment created widespread anti-Japanese feeling
The Japanese victory contributed to the growth of a mythology, both within Japan and Allied nations, that saw the Japanese solider as an invincible jungle fighter
Dutch East Indies:
• The attack on the Dutch East Indies began on 11 January 1942
• Any allied hope of stopping an invasion was lost with the Japanese navy’s resounding victory in the Battle of the Java sea
• March 8 the Dutch surrendered Java and within a short time Japan was in control of all former Dutch territory in the Indonesian archipelago
• As a result, ….
The Dutch had been quickly defeated and their status as both a colonial and military power was destroyed
The conquest of the Dutch East Indies gave Japan access to the regions oil supplies, thus fulfilling one of the major strategic goals of the southern advance
Philippines:
• Air attacks on the Philippines began on December 8 and were followed by a full-scale Japanese invasion on December 10
• With no other options, US General Douglas MacArthur retreated with his forces to the Bataan Peninsula and the island fortress of Corregidor, at the entrance to Manila Bay
• Despite a long resistance from Filipino and American troops, they were not able to be reinforced or resupplied and were forced to surrender
• The fall of Corregidor on 6 May marked the Japanese conquest of the Philippines
• Among the consequences…
Japan had expelled the US from the western Pacific and presented it with a very significant military and logistical challenge if it wanted to return
Burma:
• Japanese forces invaded Burma in mid-December
• Rangoon, the capital, was taken on March 8 1942
• By May 20 British forces had been completely pushed out of the country
• As a result, …
Japan secured its position in Malaya against attack from the west and pushed its defence perimeter up to the Indian border
Virtually no British military presence in East Asia and guaranteed that the Pacific war against Japan would be largely fought by the US
Close the Burma road cutting off supplies to Chiang Kai-Shek
definitely won't do the resistance and collab- too many specific groups to know but yeah i agree with you and hope for the best because otherwise all the stats ive memorised for everything else will go to waste aha! good luck tomorrow!
