since everyone is in exam mood now (I hope), might as well talk about something related to exams.
I am looking at the various levels' exam timetable posted online here.
3EXP
4EXP/5N
it seemed 4E/5N had it easy compared to 3E. while sec 4 and 5 takes one subject daily, the sec 3s will take two on some days, especially towards the back.
of course, sec 4 and 5 papers are longer and typically end only near noon (or later), but two papers on the same day makes things harder to prepare for doesnt it? like SS and History.
it seems this happens because of the SPA Skill 1 and 2 they will be taking, and since only one class can take the practical at once, an entire day would be taken up.
this happens on the next two mondays and next thursday. I wonder why they cant put combined humanities on 7th (monday) instead so the next week literally becomes SPA week for them.
the real scary part actually comes the week after actually, where they take two papers daily.
A Maths and econs on 8th (tue), E Maths (two papers) on 9th (wed), geography and chemistry on 10th (thu) and physics and chem on 11th (fri).
life must really suck for those in 3/5 this year (triple science). not only do they come back daily, they have two major papers for nearly each day from tuesday to friday.
one interesting thing to note is that though they take two papers daily, they still managed to end earlier than us on most days. zz.

actually I am now looking forward to the exams ending. then I can take a short break before preparing for the last mile before chinese O Levels on 28th May.
also can see everyone in class again and talk to them, not just in the exam hall and say good luck to each other.
and I SHOULD be getting my phone back as well, according to what abdullah told my mother. they better not pull stunt again.
my phone is also a camera and MP3 player and I will be pretty darn bored studying in school during holidays if I dont have it back.
..better not talk too much about exam being over first. there is still two more weeks to go. good luck everyone!
