Crazy little thing called exams


Exams are the biggest obstacle a student usually faces. It is not only a test of knowledge, but it also of one's emotions and attitude. Today, i failed the two latter sections. I allowed emotions to control me (think panic attacks) and that led to a disaster. Wth, no one messes up stats. That is suppose to be the marks buffer for maths since c3 and c4 are riskier papers. But that's what happen to me today. And it happened just after i paid for my physics fees. Thus, there is no turning back from this point. How long and how the hell am i going to survive this? I prefer not to think about that now. :(

i just screw chemistry unit 4..
they say, if we revise or rather memorise the past year questions..we can answer all the questions..
but the thing is,
what is the use of exam if we already knew what sort of question will come out..

but still,
the temptation to memorise the answer scheme for the past year question is very high..

Esther, just relax, do your best, and everything will go well!
I will be praying for you all the way from here so it's going to be MORE THAN FINE!
Remember how scared you were for SPM results? And it all turned out good?

It's going to be ok because I say so. :)

to liyana: Haha chem unit 4 didn't go that well for me too.

I totally disagree with the concept of how people just memorize the past years without actually studying or understanding it. The beauty of the subject is lost if one does things that way.

Yeah, and that makes the exam a dictation rather than a real exam.

But it's not like they can gauge the real A Levels paper in May. So I'll still stick to old school methods of revising thoroughly.

to zhen: =)) Thanks. Looove you and missing you a lot.
