NO! the written papers have finally ended.
and i'm so tired after the 3 weeks battle.
slept during CME today, until she dismissed us.
now i can do a post-mortem on the papers.
hardest paper this time round, i would say it's economics. but still, i think the SEQ wasn't as bad as the MCQ. whereas the SAQ was just as usual. i think the paper was 'totally expected'? i can't remember what i indicated. and, it was more like a test than an examination. the paper is kinda like so short. LOL! because i think i started SEQ way ahead of others. well, i skipped MCQ.
2nd in line would be physics. i don't have a brain for that subject. BUT... i completed the whole paper within 1 and a half hours, quite amazingly. AND... compared to mid-year, i didn't write formulas all around, i did try to apply. SO, i hope the results will be way better than mid-year. just that i was entertaining myself looking at people rushing to finish, struggling with the paper while i just finished it with whatever limited physics brainpower i had left.
the rest, i would say are pretty much the same.
well, i'm kinda surprised i actually managed to complete e maths paper 2 before time. but that was because i initially thought it was gonna end at 11:30am, so i rushed and rushed and was like waiting for qinweiwei to say '15 minutes left'. but then she didn't, and it was already 11:25am when i realised the paper was only gonna end at 11:45am. so of course, i did finish the whole paper. THEN, i realised my Q1b is wrong. i'm so like gonna kill myself if i make that mistake again. right after submitting, i realise it should be -y instead of over y. WHAT THE HECK! i hope i don't fail paper 2 this time round like during mid-year, which pulled down my overall.
a maths was pretty much okay too. all the 1st 2 pages stuff, i was able to do most. then, i started encountering problems every alternate questions. so, that started to turn into a disaster for me. and i also didn't do last question part b cos i just didn't know how to.
i've no comments about language papers. it's either you have the skills or not. it's just foundations and adding onto it. and anyway, there's still EL orals before it ends. i'm gonna be the 1st one and my examiner's mrs tan. heaven's kinda on my side, i suppose. =]
geography paper 1, i realise i already have some wrong. and that's pretty depressing. and then, my answer for the hydrograph for paper 2 is wrong! i only drew 1. nevermind, just learn! learn from mistakes. i actually drew a 'rural' and 'urban' for common test but i only drew 'deforested area' alone for end-of-year. WOW! i hate mapwork.. cos g was just practically rushing through it because he doesn't have a decent mapreading book, and after which, he started providing answers every lesson. so i didn't learn much, obviously!
combined humanities... i don't wanna talk about it.
chemistry was kinda okay only. MCQ was kinda tricky. i think it's sorta like 'gone case' for those who went memorising chemistry tys answers cos that setter was really evil. i suppose we all do know who was the setter for paper 1. paper 2 was still do-able. i don't know what the 'chemical test' was though... and the flow-chart was bad, i think so. and anyone who wanna test me chemistry, kindly test me on 'chemical bonding'. i'm especially weak in that topic. LOL! that's my weakness for chemistry.
after we have slogged our guts out for the paper, it's time the teachers experience that. they're gonna be vomitting blood marking our answers scripts. i bet the whatever OTAS machine's gonna get jammed up too. time for a change! STUDENTS to go relax, except for secondary 4s, HAHA, and TEACHERS, please go vomit blood and get stiff necks, muscle aches and headaches while marking our papers. of course, i do think there's gonna be some really amusing answers for them to laugh at too, so they don't get too stressed up.
time's passing so quickly.
next thursday, we'll start getting back papers 1 by 1.
next next thursday, we're gonna dread that day!
i failed once again @ 7:55:00 pm
