For the first time in 4 years, since the time i started taking biology, i failed a bio lecture test. Correction, not just one, but TWO. It was a major blow to my biology ego, my 100% track record of passing tests have been wiped off =(
My first bio lecture test was kind of a shocker to me. All the answers, i had the points there, except it wasnt phrased in that particular way or because i didnt have the key words for my structured questions, the best part is, i knew how to answer the questions (except the essay component which took me entirely by surprise) but i didnt get the marks. 12 years in this screwed up education system has taught me never to contest for marks, simply because teachers enjoy taking some away when you do. Damn it, i had the points up there in my head, but it came out wrong on paper. Damn it, screw it, btw, i am trying really, really hard to avoid using expletives right now. Shit... =(
The essay was a nightmare, it was a question i didnt really expect to come out, but it did. Again, i could have gotten at least 2 marks (i got zilch, in case you're wondering) but my phrasing came out all wrong again. This is what happens when you freak out really badly during a test =(
Thing is, about half the class passed, I dont know about the cohort. =(. 8/22, my bruised ego *sighs*
2nd bio test, we still havent gotten our papers back yet but i managed to check my results. 11.5/30. So far, that puts me in the upper quartile of the class, and hopefully the cohort. But still, it's a fail. The greatest irony to come out of all these? I got an A for bio in the promos, and now im facing an O or an F. I'm even taking bio s , how ridiculous. Bio S Paper student failing bio..ludicrious. I think i should drop my s papers. All i can hope for is that my 2nd test results can boost my percentile of bio (overall) to at least a 50th percentile (promos? 94th percentile, HUGE drop)
The only good thing to EVER come out of today would be the Econs grades. I got an A, i think i got erm around 63/64? After moderation, i got an A. At least i have one A. Wish my bio could be at least an E or a D tho..=(
How ironical, my math and chem grades are the ones to be fluctuating (and they are), but the greatest variance came from bio... from an A to an O, how about that? At least im gonna pass math and most probably, chemistry. so i think i should be able to avoid seeing the teachers, not that my parents care in the first place
I'm a 3rd year student in what is probably the largest autonomous university in Singapore majoring in a Science-related subject (well it sorta IS SCIENCE). I'm known to be introverted, sarcastic (at times), funny when I rant (which isn't a good thing lol) and somewhat of a loner. I miss LA and would move there in a heartbeat :(
