26 April 2011:
I think I am going to do very badly for this exam.
Let me show you what I mean:English: nothing much to say, my English has always been mediocre. My attempts to improve my vocabulary has not been very successful, due to a lack of interest. I handed in my CA1 Component 5 today, frankly speaking, I'd be happy if I can get a B4, which would translate to around 18/30.
華文:雖然我每次都能得到頗好的成績,不過我還是擔心這次的考試。不是我杞人憂天哦,是因為這次有作文、實用文。我的寫作一向都把我的總分給拉下來,所以我挺擔心的。而且,我最怕的是自己不過時間完成試卷一(寫作)。那麼,我的試卷二也會受到影響。不是開玩笑的,
E Math: let's just say that I don't bother paying attention to the teacher in class. No, I am not so good in class till I don't need to, but it's because the lesson has been so boring and mundane that even I don't feel like listening. Besides that, the teaching method is definitely not working for my class. My E Math test was returned today: I scored less than 70%. To make things worse, a teacher added that this test was supposed to be a "motivational booster", i.e. a lot of people were supposed to score very well, to boost their spirits before the exams. Apparently it has done the reverse to me. I guess I have to do more E Math questions over the weekend. Oh, guess what: the TYS for E Math just arrived today, approximately 1 week away from the exams.
A Math: this is probably the most confident subject of mine in the whole of MYE this time, since there is the assurance that if I stop making careless mistakes and revise the techniques well enough, there is a high chance of me getting >95%. Maybe it's because I have tuition ... but I'm sure it's also because I have a wonderful teacher that can teach in a very systematic and logical way; definitely the best way to teach A Math.
Bio: this subject is one of the most worrying one. As I was telling S just now, previously I at least had an idea of the syllabus. Now, I am totally confused and mixed up. It also doesn't help that Nutrition in Plants must be covered, since I absolutely detest anything related to do with plants. I know that it has to be learnt, since Biology would mean that it's everything about life, and life is also consists of plants, and blah ... Well, I still don't have any interest whatsoever. I guess one reason would be that I am unable to relate to plant systems (you can understand digestion because it is happening as you learn, for example).
Chem: this subject is also a very worrying one. The pressure (from myself subconsciously) is very high since I scored quite well for last year's EYE. But, for last year, I was relatively well-prepared, unlike this year's MYE! I also realised that my KPT is rather weak; I really need to do something about it. Also, the chapter on Chemical Structure and Bonding, although some was covered in Sec 2, I still feel a little lost. Especially with new things like giant molecular structure ... I catch no balls, man.
Physics: although throughout the tests, I did quite okay, but I'm really afraid that during the MYE, I'll just freak out and not be able to answer a lot of questions. My concept is more or less there, but I might miss out on something, and that might cost me a lot of marks. By the way, I still don't understand the concept of free fall and the relation to air resistance. Someone knock some sense into me.
Social Studies: I'll wait till tomorrow's SS lesson to find out how well / how disastrous my test went. I hope that at least if my SS is okay, it will pull up the grade of History. However, it has been a trend for almost every batch of students that SS (or rather Combined Humanities) is never passable, or at least never able to get an A. Can I be part of the batch that breaks this trend ...?
History: enough has been said. Refer to previous post(s) for information on how screwed I am.
That's all for now. I'm screwed. Thank you for your concern.
