exam statistics
Thursday, October 12
well the exams are finally over! (: so here's my compilation of how i felt about the papers. if ur find the first part too boring, at least scroll down to the next part. theres info which not everybody will know.
total papers: 10
easy papers: 2
moderate papers: 6
hard papers: 2
incomplete papers: 3
thularts athis paper was easy. i did the prose, cos the answers were like staring right at me, and i fully appreciated the prose. turns out that there was a very equal split between the pupils who did prose and poetry.
geogthis paper was HARD!!! why? because the questions were mostly facts, facts and facts. i had expected it to be a applicational paper, so i didnt memorise those facts :S
frilarts bthis paper was moderate i'd say. it was hard because of the event we were supposed to write about, i couldnt remember it very clearly, and was easy because writing a newpaper report IS rather easy isnt it?
life sciencethis paper was moderate... there were some tough questions here and there, but overall, was better than last year's paper.
monhcl paper 1this paper was moderate. i found the letter writing very easy, but the compo was harder. i did question 1 and 5 incase you're wondering.
maththis was a hard paper. not because the questions were exactly hard... i mean those were kinda moderate. but the factor that made it hard was that there were too many questions and too little time!
tuehistorythis paper was moderate... questions were rather straightforward. just that i forgot some stuff here and there XD also, it was hard picking out certain points for the sbq
physical sciencethis paper was moderate too. the questions were moderate, but the amount of time could have been slightly more though.
hcl listening comprethis was EASY. very easy. the questions were extremely straightforward and you just needed to listen to get it correct.
wedhcl paper 2this paper was moderate. the multiple choice questions were closer to the easy side, but the open ended qns were closer to the hard side. i also wasnt able to finish it ): just like 1 question. and i crapped some of the answers.
now here's the interesting part of the post.
end-of-year exams awards: category - answers and mistakesmy most obvious mistake: Package B is more worth it than A. (my calculation was right, but i absent-mindedly took the higher value of money to be more worth it)
my most careless mistake: Drawing a quadilateral instead of a trapezium.
my most stupid answer: Fruit Juice (answer to question: What is the raw material used to make vinegar?)
my answer with poorest handwriting: geog paper last structured question. i was scribbling too fast.
end-of-year exams awards: category - memorable eventsmost ironic situation:chinese teacher walks in and asks in english: any questions?
mr kevin ng, our invigilator, immediately asks us in chinese: you mei you wen ti?
most hilarious situation:brian finished his chinese paper way before time and started stoning. mrs vijay takes over mr kevin ng as invigilator and starts walking around. at brian's table, she sees him doing nothing. she points at the marks box and tells brian, "you havent filled these in yet."
