NIGHTMARE!!!

Just having a terrible nightmare out of usually dreamless sleep. It was really a terrible dream, what I fear the most. Unable to do A Level Paper. The dream only show me desperately trying to finish Physics Paper, but unable to complete the task. It is very scary indeed. It might be a sign for me to start hitting the books like no one's business.

NCT is a bomb

Apparently they uploaded the answer already. I checked the answers based on assumption that unrecorded answer is wrong answer and the result is a bomb. Enough bullet for today.

Freaking Prelims

Well, just get back some of the papers, not all yet. So far only 2 subject had returned the full paper. Which are Mathematics and Chemistry.

Ok, let's start from the time order.

Mathematics
There is several careless mistakes accompanied by negligence in several chapters. A lot one marks are gone because of these mistakes that could be easily avoided. Generally statistics is quite well done except one question which is totally zero because of lack of knowledge in the topic. Pure Mathematics is so-so. Paper One performed worse than Paper two with 49-69. Overall is 59%. Just a freaking one percent to up by one grade.

Verdict : More should be done to secure a sure A-Grade. Make sure Pure Maths is strong enough in case statistics went haywire like previously. Statistics will require more practice to ensure either full mark or zero (in case not knowing what the hell the question is asking or jab wrong calculator button)

Chemistry
I gonna say that this is one of the worst paper. There won't be any evaluation until we finish went through the paper.


Gonna be updated tomorrow.
