i realise i'm only blogging once every month now. haha. oh well, it's not like i have a blogging schedule to keep up with, and it also goes to show that i'm really working hard now. =P
i got back my progress report yesterday. since the results were already known, there wasn't any surprises. so here goes: (in order of mark, grade and percentile)
General Paper: 53, D, 73
(the marks were quite funny. i thought i did well for the comprehension but i totally screwed it up and only got 21/50. i thought i did VERY badly for the essay but i ended up getting 28/50. haha. anyway, barely passing still got me a percentile of 73. goes to show how b*d my school's GP is. =X)
Mathematics: 42, S, 12
(i was really upset with myself for failing mathematics again. i know i DID study for it, but somehow it still wasn't enough. i panicked when i was doing the questions on statistics. i keep thinking that i've really let mrs leong down. =( sigh...)
Chemistry: 50, C, 73
(the first paper we got back was chemistry. i thought i would FINALLY be able to get 60 plus for chemistry. but it was a pathetic 49 marks! i was REALLY angry with myself. i could have gotten at least 50 plus if i haven't made those STUPID careless mistakes. i know i shouldn't be too hard on myself since the cohort didn't do very well either. but still....)
Biology: 43, E, 43
(like expected, i failed biology again. i think it has already been a tradition for me to fail biology since the march common tests. i don't know why but i just can't seem to be able to study smart for biology. i need someone to teach me how to study for biology! help! and worse still, i'm always lacking in the main points and terms when answering questions. sigh. but on a brighter side, i managed to pass after moderation! =D and according to chee leong, i'm still top 4 in class! haha. cause there are only 4 people taking biology in my class. -.-)
China Studies in Chinese: 48, E, 28
(considering the fact that i didn't study, except on the actual day of the paper itself, my essays were quite average. it was the source-based questions that killed me. i got like only 7 or 8 upon 30? ouch. i use to score 20 plus for my history and social studies source-based questions. =( i didn't manage to fulfill the exact requirements of the questions. sigh. but then again, how do you expect us to score well when we've only had 2 or 3 times of practices??! )
all in all, there isn't really much to say about my results. just that i'll have to keep working harder. as quoted from the tutors: 'there's no use in being sad over your results already. you can only look forward now.'
[will i really be able to make it? will i really be able to get my As for my H2s? i'm not really sure about this. but i am sure that if i REALLY work hard, i'll surely be able to. but the problem i face now is getting myself to work hard. -.- time seems to be getting shorter and shorter. sigh.]
shall add a quote that i'm using to motivate myself now:
人因梦想而伟大,而这梦想只有靠自己的努力才能够达成!=)
大家一起努力吧!=)
ps: what's wrong with blogger? the toolbar that allows one to 'design' blogposts seems to be missing. weird...
