Remember that post about me playing Farmville? I stopped playing about a week ago.
So here are some of the stats:The game is ultimately quite shallow. Just pretend I never started this project. It’s for the betterment of mankind.
Modern Mathematics, officially known as Mathematics. It’s not the most difficult subject in the world. In fact, when put next to add maths, it’s really, really easy. So let’s ignore the fact that I spent 3 hours plus doing simple mathematical problems on this day.
Instead, let’s talk about the NCC review. This is basically our ICT test. It’s not hard, but it’s not easy either, because quite a few things tested were not taught by our teacher. Yes. Really. Thanks a lot. Also, the paper is two and a half hours long, but most people finish in about 1 hour. Ain’t so fun staring at the wall for an hour so there were quite a few things happening during the exam:In the end, the paper finished 20 minutes early, which is still 50 minutes too long in my opinion.
This is the killer. You might remember my blogpost about Physics papers and how average they were. I expected average so the weekend before the trials, I spent a total of one hour and maybe an extra ten minutes studying Physics. What did I do with the rest of the weekend? Did I just play on the computer and waste my time mucking around?
Of course not. … Ok, I did. But in between the mucking about I found some time to study for Biology. Biology is to science what Sejarah is to humanities. Both are subjects filled with facts, facts and more facts (and more facts (yes, even more facts)) which you don’t really notice as you are learning, but when you start doing revision, you suddenly realise exist. That is when you buckle down and try to rush as many facts as possible into your brain in one night’s worth of studying. Another thing pretty similar about these two subjects is the way you can read them as stories. Everyone who does well in thee subjects tell me that if you can remember what happens as a story, you will have no problem memorising.
Anyways, after this, there is what is known as a ’90-minute break’ where students can relax and study for the upcoming pa-
Physics, Physics and more Physics. Day 5 was the day of equations, formulas and logic.
Physics papers are probably the most average papers of all the exam papers I’m taking in SPM. By average, I mean that there is just nothing (except the word ‘average’) that can be said about the paper. All adjectives (except average) fail to describe it. Physics papers are not easy, not hard, not fun, not boring, not challenging, not a breeze, not quick, not draggy, not tiring, not exciting, not anything (except average). This makes it very, very hard to type a blogpost about the papers. I will try to write a short summary of each paper though:So, in short, the paper was just plain average. Nothing more and nothing less.
