Well, PROMOS. You see that caps. It marks a major milestone in my JC life. It kinda determines whether i'm promoted... Or whether I'll retain.
In IJC, the promos criteria is to get 6 credit points. Pass in each H2 subject is 2 credit points while pass in each H1 subject is 1 credit point. You may think it's easy but... I'm in IJC. You get what I meant xD
To be honest, I wouldn't say I studied really hard but... I guess just sufficient(?).
The first 2 papers were GP and mother tongue, both on the same day of the week. I don't quite give a damn to those 2 papers because my languages obviously sucked and I think there's nothing much I can do about it... :-( so my promos hope was all banked on my H2s subject. Didn't studied for mother tongue and GP at all.
The following week came Physics on Tues, Math on wed as well as Chem and Econs on thurs.
That math paper.... Was unforgettable. It was a three hours paper and I swear across my heart... I was SO DEMORALIZED after the paper. I felt as though I couldn't do half the paper. I even teared when doing qns 10/12 of the whole paper. ((An APGP qns)) I walked home depressed xD
All I could think of at that point of time was, "2 credit points for math... Just byeeeee."
I didn't even have any mood to study for chem but I did because I knew I had to get that 2 credit points from chem since I felt that my math really Cannot Make It.
But needless to say, I didn't finish studying for chem because econs paper was also on the same day as chem. ((Tbh, the teachers who planned the exam timetable shouldn't have put our H1 contrasting with our H2. Content heavy max)) so I just read through chem roughly ((rough enough xD)). For econs, I only studied market failure since I'm already prepared to fail econs alrdy. The only reason why I study market failure is to fail with 'nicer' marks. ((At least give some face to my econs teacher)) XDD
Took the chem paper. Demoralised, once again. Because of the chem paper, I couldn't sleep for 2 subsequent day cuz I counted my marks after the exam and all I could think of, is a U grade. BAM. There goes my 2 credit points again.
At that point, all I could pray for was moderation to make me pass. X:
But what shocked me was the results I received. Received chinese paper on Tuesday and I'm thankful I passed with a C grade ((excluding oral)) / B grade ((including oral)). Hallelujah, I thought xD
But the happy part was not about the grade I get, but knowing that I improved!! :D and very happy for Naomi as well cause she got an A. :D #unitypride
So yesterday was the release of 2 of our H2s results -- Math and Chem. 2 most demoralising papers... Ever. When Miss Qian was giving out the math paper, my legs were shivering and I was telling Lovis how scared I was. ((Actually Lovis was also damn scared but she tried to distract herself by talking about other stuff xDD)) when I received my paper, I immediately opened up the cover page to see my marks. 68 I saw. I legit opened up my mouth damn big then look at Miss Qian. XDD she looked back at me. That awkward moment. LOL.
But the atmosphere kinda turned bad/awkward ((whichever you perceive)) when people around received their papers. Some cried, some happy and some just normal. Even those who scored well didn't show their happiness because it just wasn't the right time. I just went out of the theatre to the toilet to avoid awkwardness and to look out for my Unity friends. I can only say B for math came as a surprise. Really thanking God like crazy.
After math, came another trauma. Chemistry. Also another demoralising paper. Chem paper was actually worse than math. I remembered my friends discussing the answers after the paper and most of my answers were wrong/different from then T^T
But I was much more relaxed when taking chem results because chem was never my favourite subject. The only reason why I will be v. worried when taking results would be because I really like that particular subject, like math. But mildly worried this time because afterall, it's promotional exams...
When I saw my paper 2... 34/70.. Holy shyt, i failed. Then I realise this is jc. 45% is still considered a pass. XDD then I look at paper 1. 20/30.
I passed. 54... D for dog. What even. Dropped by 1 grade, 1 mark to C. But then again, good enough, much much better than I expected.
I don't know what/who else to thank for my passes in these 2 subjects which I have placed my hopes on. But they really came as surprised.
To my friends who did well, congrats!! I'm happy for you as a friend!
But to those who didn't, don't be disheartened because this is 60% of promos, you still have ST and FA to help you. And there's still 2 more H1s papers and 1 more H2 paper to receive on monday! Furthermore, your promotional status is not out yet! You still have chance. Pray hard because nothing much can be done now.
Just an update to my blog :)
