J2 Common Test

Hii all, just finished with common test today. Yup, that 's the first major exam that I took since I became a JC2. Thought I'd blog about the past week of exams.

Monday (21/03) - Had H1 Physics paper today. As it was the first paper after the one week March hols, was still not very confident when I sat for the paper. Besides, did not really feel that I had done enough revision for the paper. Been focusing more on my other H2 subjects so kind of neglected my H1. Still, had to sit for the paper, so did some last minute cramming just before the paper in Discussion Room 3 again. Had only one invigilator this time around. Hahaha.. half way through the exam, heard snoring behind me. Seriously, loud snores! I thought to myself.. Omg, the invigilator fell asleep! Decided to wake him up after a while as the time for my exam was ending soon. Hahas.. so good of me huh. In order not to embarrass the invigilator, and not to be accused of cheating, I decided not to go up to him to wake him up. I decided to make use of erasing some errors that I made on the exam script and shook the table. That worked. The loud noises woke the examiner up and he felt a little disorientated at first I think, cause there was a short moment of silence. When the exam ended and the invigilator came to collect my script, he had the sleepy look on his face... Lols!! Such an experience, this is the first time lols.
Rushed home after the exam to do revision for Chem. Meeting Chem teacher for consultation tomorrow. Gotta look up some questions to ask her!!

Tuesday (22/03) - No exams today. However, going to school still, having consultation with for Chem. Did my revision ytd and had come up with lots of unclarified doubts. However, did not know if those were stuff were very basic and I would get told off for not even knowing those fundamentals. Therefore, was unsure whether to clarify those doubts. Decided to just continue with my revision of Chemistry and come up with some questions so that at least I can be seen to be doing some work. Actually, it was due to me having the feeling that ppl like Marisa, Eileen and Jordan would have attemped the Chem tys and be clarifying doubts in those areas. That was why my doubts felt really insignificant. However, turned out that it was only just me Jordan and Ming Yang who turned up. Furthermore, the questions that they were asking were pretty much similar to mine, from the previous Chem Test 1 and 2. Therefore, was able to clarify most of my doubts, almost all actually. Was more confident for the Chem paper after the consultation. Always thought that I would be quite hesitant in clarifying doubts during Chem consultation( long story why..) , but to my surprise, everything went really smoothly. Looks like I can go for more Chem consultations after this, been avoiding Chem consultations and pushing unclarified doubts back since the start of term. That's why had lots to clarify this time round.
Got back home sllightly earlier than I had planned and set down to work on Econs and Maths immediately. There was really not enough time for me to finish studying both subjects, but I had to at least do some, right?

Wednesday(23/03) - One hell of a day today. Had both Econs and Maths today. First up was Econs. Suprisingly, Econs went quite smoothly for me. The essays for Paper 2 were not really difficult and I was very much satisfied with the essays that I wrote. Another reason why I am so confident of my essay was that somehow, I finished the whole paper (ie. three essays) with at least 15 mins to spare. That was quite suprising as I usually have a lack of time for my Econs essays. As a result, I was able to check through my essays. Paper 1 was not too bad as well. Managed to complete it within the time given.
After that went to look for the other guys. Just took out my phone to contact them and they saw me. Turned out that they just got released as well, probably due to the collection of exam scripts delaying time. Went to Lot 1 for lunch then, as our Maths paper was at 2pm and it was barely 11am. Had Pepper Lunch at the food court which came with curry. Something new on the menu I guess. Got back to school after our meal and did some last minute revision for Maths. Turned out that it was not a good idea as the more we revised, the more we realised how much we had missed out in our revision and started to panic.
Well, then again, Maths paper was not really satisfactory as well. Was able to complete the first half of the paper with relative ease. However, from Question 7 to 11, had problems recalling how to do those questions. Attempted though, but with very horrifying results... uncompleted answers in other words. Maths paper ended at 5.45 so had to rush home to revise Chem. Very little time left for a huge load of content.
For today though, the last invigilator that came in were both my Subject Tutors. So had a little pressure towards the end of the paper. Somehow felt Maths ST had the feeling that I had problems with the paper. LOL!!

Thursday(24/03) - Yup! That's today and the last paper of the Common tests. Had Chem today. Not very well done as well I felt. Studied alot for Organic Chemistry but there was only about one or two questions on Organic Chem. Managed to complete most of the other questions as well though not very confident of the answers. Lucky for me though, I decided to do Nitrogen Compounds as my last revision right before the paper. Indeed, as I expected, it came out. The first question. Therefore, I was able to complete it easily with all the reaction conditions and equations still in my head. Had little problems with the deduction question as well. Think I had the compounds figured out correctly. Was able to write most of the equations as well as the type of reactions. Hopefully I'll be able to pass Chem!!
Haiz.. for now, seeing as common tests are over, going to slack abit. Going cycling nao that I've finished this post. Tomorrow will be slacking again and got to be in school for a briefing for Alchemist Club. Evening's been taken up by soccer with 4D at soccer court at Bukit Panjang. Probably going to make a fool of myself there, but who cares! Common tests are over already. It's time to party! Opportunity to meet up with good friends as well!
ciaos!
