A not exactly happy update...

================================
END OF YEAR EXAMINATION SCORES
today is the day when we get back ALL the marks, basically it is one round after the other in half to an hour intervals. basically the best way I can summarise it is I am generally at the class average, but I did badly in the 200% subjects, namely maths and science,
a major disappointment, since I worked quite hard for my maths. but all the fucking careless mistakes caused me to lose almost 10 marks in paper 1. I did better for paper 2, but still not enough to compensate for the idiotic errors in paper 1. I should have been more cautious!
english I am generally at the average, or maybe slightly above. but our class is the worst performing for 2E, so.....
for science I find my results acceptable as I had a extremely bad mental block and I cant memorise a thing a day before the exam and I am also somewhere in the class average as well.
mother tongue is of course where I did well again at 81 marks for the final SA2 score (oral + listening + paper 1 + paper 2 in 100%). but still even this cant lift my spirits up as I still cannot forgive myself for the careless mistakes in maths.
history is not exactly chart-topping, slight disappointment here. it is still a middle A1 at 80 marks though. still somewhat surprised since I did not expect to do so well for a paper I practically rushed through.
literature is also at a class average which is a 50+ score. nothing much on this since there is no lit for the subject combinations next year anyway.
CME is 35/50. considered high since I only remember one of those CommonWEALTH values.
================================
SUBJECT COMBINATIONS
got the option form today. the paper is a little unclear on when are we knowing the classes. the only date written there is 27/10 where the "e-streaming" stuff will start at 2pm.
that either meant we can choose (from edulearn I suppose since it is electronic) from that day at 2pm onwards as we know the results or we make a choice before that and combinations and classes will be out that day.
since I am feeling better after expressing how disappointed I am with my maths scores, I shall show all four combinations:
oh and literature is gone. not that I want it anyway.
Option A - 3/1 or the Triple Science class
=============================
Overall score for the entire year must not be below 75%
- English
- Mother Tongue
- Elementary Mathematics
- Additional Mathematics
- Physics
- Biology
- Chemistry
- Geography
- Social Studies + History
Option B - 3/2 or the Triple Humanities class
================================
Must score 65% and above for English and Geography
- English
- Mother Tongue
- E Maths
- A Maths
- Physics
- Chemistry
- Geography
- Social Studies + History
- Economics
Option C - Physics-Chem Class
======================
No particular requirement
- English
- Mother Tongue
- E Maths
- A Maths
- Physics
- Chemistry
- Geography
- Social Studies + History
Option D - Bio-Chem Class
======================
No particular requirement
- English
- Mother Tongue
- E Maths
- A Maths
- Biology
- Chemistry
- Geography
- Social Studies + History
Option B is basically unreachable for me now (English score) and I did better for Physics than Biology, so the extremely popular Option C will be my choice.
for those who are not in the know, in commonwealth, there is usually one class for triple science, one and a half class or so for SS+Lit with Geog and/or BioChem (as they are not very popular choices) and the rest of the 3 1/2 classes (around 3 for this year I guess) will be Physics-Chem classes.
just hope that I would go to a class that I would be able to find some familiar faces.
================================
went to play at the playground at the JE Community Centre that area after school with wei lei. seems to be newly built and it isnt childrens' playground. it is those that have fitness and fun combined, something like that west coast park one, except less challenging.
and that is all for today. and what a long entry. must start removing detail from entries to attract people to read them.
