The End signifies The Beginning.
Okay so the Prelims (excluding Practical Exams) ended. Lets go through and reflect on what happened.
- Wednesday 16/8 - English Language 1 & 2Okay so I haven't gotten sick this time yet, but 2 days before I had the rashes thing and didnt sleep well. No excuses of course, but the performace for this paper was no good. The titles to write for Paper 1 were quite crappy. Edwin says Hyprocrisy(Question 5) was a good title but the truth is its difficult to write about because we're discouraged to write narratives. And my mind was to cloudy to think about deep stuff.
In general, performance was way below average for these 2 papers.
- Thursday 17/8 - Elementary Maths 2, Chinese Language 1Okay. E Maths Paper 2 was bad compared to SA1's. I screwed up with my time management. Don't ask about Chinese. All the titles to write about were absolutely crappy.. yeah its in my previous posts. If you wanna refresh, I was forced to write about whether doing communitiy service is good for students. (Okay how to write about that???)
In general, performance was below average for E Maths Paper 2 and absolutely horrible (extremely real possibility of failing) for Chinese Paper 1.
- Friday 18/8 - Social Studies, Chinese Language 2Okay I start with the words "okay" for this comment again, but no matter. Social studies was a meagre affair because the topics that I studied on did not come out much. Chinese Paper 2? Way worse than the O Lvl Mid Year one. Minus 12 marks already. Possibility of failing.
In general, performance was below average for Social Studies and absolutely horrible (extremely real possibility of failing) for Chinese Paper 2.
- Monday 21/8 - Pure Chemistry 2, Additional Mathematics 1Sick by Monday. My temperature was at 37.4 when I arrived in school. So I didn't study for Chem, not much anyway. Even though the paper was very, very easy compared to what they've been giving us normally, it was horrible. Cause I never study. Additional Mathematics, hampered. Bad time management. Okay basically its horrible too.
In general, performance was far below average for Pure Chemistry 2 and very bad for (minute possibility of failing) Additional Mathematics 1.- Tuesday 22/8 - Pure Physics 2Im still sick with the viral infection. But at least Physics was a spark of hope for me. Nothing much to say, mostly because the paper was better than all the rest I had taken, even though I was sick.
In general, performance is hopeful/quite good for Pure Physics 2.
- Wednesday 23/8 - Elementary Maths 1, Pure Chemistry 1No comment. I freaked out during Elementary Maths 1. Teachers "evil" strategy: put extremely difficult questions at the start and easy ones at the back. Destroyed my confidence.. and also got gay questions like "what is the smallest number
k when 120k is the smallest perfect sqaure?" Answer: 1/120. Lame sia! Some ppl spend so long thinking. I also get wrong answer. I put 1/30. I thought 4 is the smallest. No its 1 is the smallest perfect square. (1x1 = 1) Damn teme so blur. =.= As for Pure Chem 1, its so-so. I also never study much cause sick, but at least better than Chem Paper 2.
In general, performance was below average for Elementary Maths 1 and average for Pure Chemistry 1.
- Thursday 24/8 - Pure Physics 1, Additional Mathematics 2Still sick. Was super sweaty in the morning, don't know why. Did not wear jacket throughout Pure Physics 1. Pure Physics 1 was very tricky, and sadly, I had not enough time to check. But I hope I do well. I think it was okay? Additional Mathematics sucks to the max.. even worse than A Maths 1.. I don't know what to say.
In general, performance was above average for Pure Physics 1 and terrible (possibility of failing) for Additional Mathematics 2.
- Friday 25/8 - Elective GeographySo-so. Extremely non-textbook questions with newspaper reports like Sands winning its bid in the Integrated Resort (IR) race coming out, and drought in Austraila (newspaper report). How unconventional. But I managed I guess, in spite of teachers cutting the exam time by 10 minutes because we were late to assemble. Why did that have to happen?
In general, performance was average for Elective Geography.So how did I fare for Prelims? I think its pretty bad. Yeah. I don't know whether I can make it below 20. :( Ill leave my marks and which JC to go to the Lord. The End of the Prelims means the Beginning of the Os is near.. have to gear up soon.. but not before taking a break first I guess?
Just to give an idea of whats happening, yesterday Nats Ken Nic came over to bake cookies and cakes with xp and me for the youth. Yups. I also repacked my entire study table yesterday from 2pm to 8pm and vaccumed the place.. cleaned the crap.. got rid of some incredible dust in the subwoofer.. etc. But havent finish with my cupboards and files. Perhaps Ill do that tommorrow or probaly, Monday.
Gonna go rest now. Take a break. Whew.
