Exam update post

NO MORE EXAMS!

----
English Paper 1
The paper was okay la. Very tough decision to make during the exam.. on which question to write on. Chose Qns 4.. went something like "Television influences young and old alike. Discuss." Wrote 428 words. Was worried because it was my first time pacing my writing and I left lines in between. And also my first argumentative essay for an exam. And it was damn messy. Didn't have a correction tape with me and I became like Ke Ping. Cancel cancel.. argh. Okay moving on, letter.. I think I had my format correct. My content little bit ... ick. I think I exceeded the limit... bleah.

Social Studies
Thank god for Pure History man. Mr Yeo taught us the skill properly and did the SBQ questions in a snap. But 1C held me down. The text seemed shallow in my head, couldn't get it after reading both sources 5 times. Then figured it out (I think) and finished it. Essay .... more like essays. Been told to write 1 question out of 2 options. I did not know that 1 question = 2 essays. Ahhh so had to chiong sia. Yep, finished both essays. Very messy, again. Just regurgitated everything I remembered. So, yep .. no more stuff about ALS,ERP,Park-and-Ride scheme & VQA for some time now.

Malay Paper 1
Surprising not much of killer. Didn't study anything about this paper. Yep, never study l33t phrase, format or whatever possible worth studying. Chose Qns 2 & 5. Qns 2 being dialog writing (tops letter tenfold IMHO) Had to write a conversation between 2 friends about the lucky youth of today being able to do work by themselves without help. And 5 was descriptive. Wanted to try argumentative but the first word of the question I already don't underrstand. So Qns 5 was something like .. write about 2 friends who got into an argument then it must end off with a good ending. I think. Anyway, 2 hours was much too long for the paper, but ZH still got his lag.

Geography Elective
Killed me. Then killed me. Then tried to kill me.
Go figure.

Ok, seriously. I only really studied this at 1am? Ended off at 4am. Couldn't remember anything... and a question on coniferous forest came out. Ahhhh, not surprised if I do badly (or even, fail for that matter) But gotta buck up and subconsciously think that Geography is the best humanities subject that tops history (which I concur) but yeah... work harder la.

Malay Paper 2
Kind of hard, but did it. Yep. Truthfully ah, I was in a trance (ok thats how I will put it) because I was sleepy and flipping the pages then stared at one page for 10mins, doing nothing on it, flipped, did nothing, and etc. SO did that for an hour. Seriously did the paper and finished it :)

Mathematics Paper 1
In short : can cry
----
English Paper 2
Probably was one of the most hardest EP2s I've taken to date. Damn worried now because I feel that my summary was a little to short (loss for words, I'd say) And the questions was a little confusing. Nonetheless, finished it with 5 minutes to spare (spent 15 minutes on summary heh)
----
History (Modern World)
Was rushing mad during assembly to just get down with the facts. During the exam, SBQ was a breeze. The SEQ was the killer one. One question was on the Treaty of Versailles + USA's involvement in world affairs and the other one is on League of Nations. I focused mainly on LON yesterday night only and before that, TOV was my main priority. So 3b was something on what did the Weimar Republic benefit from USA assistance. Sigh. Didn't know anything so I just wrote stuff about Germany. In the end, after the paper .. they all said it was something on the Young Plan and the Dawes Plan. Didn't mention either. Didn't study either. Sigh. Hope Friday's SEA paper will help me push up the mark.

Physics
Whole class was like "Chiong ar!" before the paper. Yes, the paper was hard. 20 minutes before the paper ended (at 1.44pm) The questions that I didn't do, the marks accumulated to 38! (and not counting the horde of skipped physics MCQ questions) So what to do.. C&C lor - crap & chiong. In the end, lost 18 marks. 20 mark recovery in 20 minutes. Doubt I can pass lar, and this is a pure subject.. it's on it's own :(
----
Science (Chemistry)
Surprising very easy, though MCQ was a tough section to go through with. First run through the paper, did only 70% of the MCQ questions and most of 'em were C or D. And overall, only like 2/3 of them were B's and no A? Okay section B, damn pissed off with myself for not knowing how to seperate crude oil and pretroleum (which is fractional distillation). Gah. But the rest was a breeze. Section C was quite easy too. Now I need to worry for Emath 2 & Bio :(
----
Mathematics Paper 2
Was very surprised. Surprised at the fact that it was the easiest math paper that I have taken in my life. Was damn nervous because I didn't revise anything since bio was in my mind. Breezed by the paper, only blindly doing one question. Lucky for this paper, I may not fail my Emath!
----
Science (Biology)
Sigh. Don't wanna elaborate much, just that ... I hope my chemistry marks are high.
So to pass science :(
----
Additional Mathematics
A real toughie. Did the first question in pencil first before outlining the finalized work. Of course, simultaneous question had a problem and lucky for me doing it in pencil. Then 2nd question, wrote stuff down and skip. 3rd, wrote stuff down then skip. And et cetera. I can honestly say that I will fail. 10 questions, did 3/4 questions fully (and not skip a part) and numerous question parts. Will be absurd if I pass, unless I get step marks, which I highly doubt so. Time for some colonization and stuff.

History (SEA)
Relatively easy paper. And I don't want to waste my time elaborating on this, NO MORE EXAMS! YAY! YAY! YAY! yay! yay! yay .. erm, okay.
