Break from prelims
Friday, August 22, 2008
Well...it's a short break from prelims, and I'm here to clear up this dusty place.
I seriously overslept today, means the time for me to type a well-thought entry about the IP system is gone...
A little about the exams. GP and econs were fine, but chem...I am starting to doubt the rationale of the chemistry department of the school. About half of the questions are fine, but the rest aren't straightforward, unlike those questions from other schools' prelim papers. Which make me question, our foundation isn't very strong at the first place, why continue killing us with such out-of-the-blue kind of questions? No, don't think that the school prepares us for that. What they teach and what they test are quite different. And I don't think the paper is very well set...To me, questions with ambiguity should be avoided during exams. And yet they keep resurfacing during the school's chemistry papers.
Probably that's the trend of A level papers. But looking at the trend of other school's prelims, I guess not.
And now, I'm starting to fear for the school's eventual A level results for chemistry...
So much for a JC that's ranked amongst the top.
