What the hell...
Euro 2008 Qualifier Weekend.
Group B. Scotland took France. Scotland won. 1-0. What the hell?!
Group E. England against Macedonia. Goalless draw. What the hell?!
Anyways, our class got four of our EOY papers back. I was so nervous before I got them back.
Now, I still am.
Afterall, the papers we got back were for the subjects Chemistry, Biology, E Math and Physics, all of which I ought be shot if didn't score well. I was rather confident I would do well for these papers.
Here are my results:
Chemistry - 65/100 (B3)
Biology - 79.5/100 (A1)
E Math Paper I - 65/80 (A1); Overall I got an A. Not sure exact marks though.
Physics - 70.5/100
And I guess I did rather well. For my standards at least.
For Chemistry, I'm pretty pleased, but yet slightly frustrated. You see I have never passed a Chemistry paper this year, apart from the test on Speed of Reaction. When we gathered in the morning at the assembly ground, I asked Miss Lim if I had passed. She told me I should have gotten an A. She said I didn't because I left the last question blank. I was amazed. I like got 60+?! Me?! During her period that day, she returned the papers. I got 65/100. Getting a B3 is a big accomplishment. (Expecially since I only used no more than three hours to study everything in our syllables.) Thus pleased.
However, I know I could get an A. I didn't have time to complete the last ten-mark question. Instead, I had spent too much time on a question which was phrased confusingly, causing me to misinterpret it. In the end, I didn't do that question either. I didn't manage to get the marks I deserved to get as a result. Thus no A, and thus my frustration.
Anyhows, Miss Lim now owes me an ice cream cone. Muahaha!
For Biology, I'm glad. I think I did well. But then again, comparing to all those 306 people I'm nowhere. But at least reached my target of an A1.
For E Math, I'm disappointed over the Paper I results. But overall I am pleased. I thought I could get at least 70/80. I didn't, thanks to all my careless mistakes and ommision of written workings. But I though I had done really badly for my E Math Paper II, which apparently I didn't. Although I also had not enough time to complete the Paper II, somehow it didn't pull my overall down too much. Still got an A. Satisfied.
Physics. 70.5/100. I should get an A1. I could too. But I did not enough time to complete my last question once again.
Okay, so I had done quite okay for these four subjects (or at least I think I have). Now what's left are the killer subjects. English Language. Chinese Language. A Math. Social Studies. Geography.
Languages are really hard to score. Unless you are able to think along the same line as the setter of the paper, it's hard to provide the standard answer the setter is looking for. So I'm unable to tell if I had done well. But I know I had already lost some marks in both papers. I overshot the word limit for the English summary. I didn't complete ten marks worth of questions for Chinese.
A Math. 26 marks worth of questions undone. No time to do the graph question or the last one either. Should have opted for the second option for the last question. So much easier. Zzz. My paper is offically upon 54 instead of 80 now.
Social Studies. Also no time to finish. 13 marks gone. Yay.
Geography. Same ol', same ol'. Insufficient time. 15 marks gone.
Hope I don't fail any of these four killer subjects.
I want my notebook. (Not the paper 555 ones. Personal laptop digital notebook.) I need to get three As (which I already have), three Bs (I need two more) and no failures to get it.
I want to own those 211/'05 noobs.
Now I'm feeling nervous.
And sian.
