yay! CT's over! not much to cheer about actually. promos more important. and it's not exactly like i did well for this CTs. anyway, i dont think anybody did well. whoever did well for this ct pls tag at my board so that i can either beat you up or find you for tuition xP
let's have a little recap:
day1:
gp was better than i had expected. though it was better, it was still quite bad, i think. econs was like what the hell. i think i desperately need to drop to H1. reading the article of the data response section was quite demoralising. even the gp compre passage was much reader-friendly. (i had expected it to be the other way round) completely flopped my econs paper 1. hope paper 2 can somehow rescue me, somehow... though i dunno how...
weiquan: fail liao la
me: yar lor, final fantasy liao.
weiquan: huh?
me: FF liao
day2:
chem structured questions was a murder. it went something like this: flip to the first page, read the first question, thought for a while, tried working out for a while, gave up and skipped to the next question. 8 marks gone. but the mcq should be able to save me i guess.
(after the chem paper)
haikal: how many questions did u not complete?
me: a bit...
haikal: whoa...
me: eh... a bit of a lot of questions...
maths paper was after chem. first time doing a 3 hr maths paper at once and it was super brain juice consuming. it's not like o lvls when the paper is 2 hrs 15 mins and you can finish it in 1 hr and sleep for 1 hr 15 mins. anyway, i thought the paper was managable though i know i should have done better if i had completed my tutorials (oops)
today:
physics paper... mcq was fairly difficult. ok actually it was quite difficult... ok lar, quite very difficult. structured questions are like chem. killed by it. btw, i came across this physics question which i think would be my all-time favourite common test question. it went something like this:
(modified and summarised cos i forget the exact question)
Sir bomb-a-lot was flying in his helicopter 18m above the ground and he drops a bomb at an initial velocity of 1m/s. but being a such a loser, the bomb landed in the muddy patch and did not explode, but instead sinks 6m into the ground before coming to a stop. calculate the average resistive force by the ground on the bomb.
no doubt this question is set by mr kenneth koh...
