MYE2007 Results Review
Friday, May 18, 2007
wah, very sian hor? a series of Mid Year posts. people are saying its boring already.
actually all these MYE post is for personal reference only la. so you all are not obliged to actually go read them.
nevermind la, exciting posts (I think) coming your way, once I am happy enough to go get the stupid pictures hosted. a photolog is a lot of work okay.
maybe I will go do some Chronicles of Antnia thing. I took some pretty macro pictures... of ants. hey, they are not easy to capture okay. they run at the speed of light compared to the time that camera of mine takes to focus on some object.
then maybe another candid series. but then that seems kinda bad to do hor. I see if I can do a small one or something. confirm wont crack your LCD screen(s) one. (or CRT monitor if you are still stuck with that)
hey where am I going? this is supposed to be a result review! okay enough OT.
==
okay, by now all results for MYE are released. with no A Maths, I finally managed to achieve something, that is nearly impossible last year, of no failure.
but still, the results are not exactly very beautiful. I am one mark (OR LESS!) to hitting the next grade in two instances, and this is what happened to both my C6 subjects (E Maths and... surprise! surprise! Combined Humanities).
I think I will do it subject by subject la. easier.
Chinese:
I almost threw my table for this one. I got 74.7! after much bloodshed (actually its just some adding of marks due to marking errors), I got an A1 finally. low A1 though.
the compo went somewhat out of point since we usually need to support the hypothesis if it is backed by a professional study. if I did that, in yeo's words, it would had been an A1 for that. letter is kinda disappointing though because I went out of point (again) for one of my reasoning and is marked down for that.
the paper 2 this time round is one of my better ones at 50.5. if I can maintain this in O Levels, I would be safe.
English:
first time did so badly in letter-writing. must at least tell me what I lack ma. I am writing my usual way and I got 13. and I have no idea why. may need to ask methias. the compo is manageable though, after all I am writing what I had always written.
the comprehension is kind of expected though. didnt really have time to check. summary is the shocking one rather. everyone got rather high for that. think is methias' lenient marking as usual.
B4 for this subject. low B4.
Combined Humanities:
SS is a total diasaster. mainly because my SBQ this time round was really bad (really gotta polish up skills) and SEQ isnt much better either since I failed to hit the point they want. and so I got owned for it.
History is much better. thank god for the easier SEQ that let me get 19. SBQ isnt much better, for me at least.
worst CH paper to date at yet another high C6. lol. it is supposed to be a difficult paper, but what happened to my humanities?
Geography
it is quite a saving grace that I didnt fail obscenely despite not studying for agriculture. in fact, I managed a B3 thanks to the extra 1 mark I spotted as well as my surprisingly good weathering (question 4) answer.
next time, if I started preparation earlier, I would die and make sure I prepared for agriculture as well. settlements questions are just too ambiguous and it may be really hard to achieve what is needed.
in Gerald's words: "this result is a bit far from what I saw in your common tests. there is a bit of overconfidence in content, especially for the human geography component. the 2-2 choice is good, but maybe you want to review your topic selection. you are one of those who will get A1 in O Levels, so make sure you work hard for it."
E Maths:
a subject I used to flunk very often. with the miraculous appearence of Divine Loci, Goddess Transformation, Master Cumulative Frequency and Buddha Probability, I can finally pass.
I looked at my paper 1 and my algebraic manipulations and indices are as weak as ever. need some good practice on that I think.
paper 2... okay it is difficult. everyone agrees. but many passed. not me. but good thing I did okay enough in paper 1 to cushion the impact.
a high C6. nearly C5 in fact. zz.
Chemistry:
another subject I am so used to failing. this is the first time I passed, since the paper is pretty easy, and I seen some of the questions in tuition already.
for a paper of this standard, a low C5 is considered underperforming.
Biology:
this is a more difficult than normal paper pitched at a standard above O Levels, and I got a low B4 for it.
it would have been a B3 if I bothered to take a look at Heredity though. haha.

I think this is all for review la. very tired already. some more gotta go take a look at a junior's blog that seemed to be having some problem. see you soon.
