Level Test 3

Well this series of 9 tests was pretty... bad. I didn't perform anywhere close to my usual standards... and I wonder what's wrong with me...

English: 13/20; Considering my English teacher wasn't much of a help, it wasn't that bad.
Oh yeah. There's a passage about a city girl moving on to the country side during her youth. You're supposed to type in different words to describe her during those paragraphs. Para 1-2: She was literally lost in the bushes. My answer was "loss", my teacher said the answer is "scared". His reasoning was that besides loss, she felt a greater, deeper emotion, which is fear. Fine argument accepted.
The next Para 3 is where she makes her way to her new house. My answer was "scared", his answer was "confused". My reasoning was that yes she felt confused, but according to your logic above saying you have to infer a deeper meaning, then the answer should be 'scared". He couldn't answer me and said our class was a pain to teach. Of course, when teachers don't make sense.

E Math: 19/20; My usual standards... I don't blame myself for losing that mark though. I didn't read the question properly haha.

A Math: 17/20; Now I blame myself. I managed to write b^2 into b^3 and bye bye 3 marks.

Chinese: ?/50. This was terribly horrible. It was 22, but my teacher said after remarking there's a possibility of adding 3 marks. BUT until now she doesn't want to tell us our marks. I thought the most retarded thing was putting 40% of the paper for a 10 question 选词填充, where I totally died. The compre was just weird on its own too. You basically have to infer all the questions. "Why did the author say this?". I'm not the author how the heck would I know.

Biology: 60%. Not that good... But I'm starting to lose interest in Biology. I find it really interesting honestly, I just don't like my teacher. Okay it's purely cause of the teacher. She has this infailable logic about Biology. She tells us "Design an experiment to..." As long as your experiment isn't what is stated in the textbook, it's wrong. My daring friend went to carry out his own experiment and got scolded by her. His experiment did get results. It's still wrong. Why? Because she says so. How ironic for a school for future innovators... What's wrong to challenge the assumption? You dare say that experiment is flawless? I'll prove you wrong. Just watch me.

Chemistry: 28.5/45, 63%. This came as a total disappointment. My Chemistry was constantly A1 for all tests this year. I seriously just knew the answer. I just, for some weird reason, didn't write it down at the correct blanks. My paper had annotations like "This answer should be written here" and stuff like that. Chemistry just... completely disappointed me. I like the teacher though, really good and patient teacher.
There's something really bad too. There's this particular person in my class who's good at Chemistry and was "disappointed" for not being able to beat this other person who got 93%. I don't mind if she complains "Oh! I got this question wrong! How careless was I!" and "YES I got this question right!"after the lesson. By then the papers were kept and I couldn't do anything bout the marks anymore. While the teacher was going through the paper, where I was trying to see where I went wrong, she just had to shout "Ahh I read the question wrong at this question!", "I got the mark for this question!". Please, I don't care how much you get. Please exercise self awareness. You're making a fool of yourself in class.


Physics: 30/45. Physics is now extremely hard for me... I just seem to... not understand it. The irony of being in the physics talent development group... I'm trying my best. I'm sorry for disappointing you...

Social Studies: 23/25. It came as a total surprise. Top in level. 2 others got the same marks as me, and another was sitting right behind me. Hi-five. SS isn't that hard honestly... Especially when the answers for inferences are at the contextual knowledge haha. I really don't know why I can't seem to score for History. It's just content difference. My History Mid-Years was C5. The difference.

 Biotech: I have no idea how much I got. But the paper totally stunned me. Dude I don't remember what's the shape of E.coli nor if it is Gram +ve or -ve... I just closed my eyes, calmed myself down, and had the image of bacteria in my mind haha. The last 6 marks question totally killed me. Well it's already done and all I can hope is for the best. Meh.

You know what's great? Next wednesday starts the next round of 8 tests. Yay.
