Oh, woe behold! The first test of the year befalls upon thee tmr, and its the evil B.Lee who brings about such misery. In sec 2, the maths tests set by Ms Gwee were 40 marks (with a bonus question), and we had 40 mins to complete the paper. Now, the paper is again worth 40 marks with a bonus question, but we're given 70 mins to compelte it. Sounds good? NOT. Knowing how sadistic Mr. Lee is, he will probably be setting an extremely tough paper. In fact, he's already hinted that the solution for the bonus question will be half- to one-page long, whereas last year, the bonus question could be solved in 5 steps. And the common student (that excludes derek) already found Ms Gwee's tests to be generally quite difficult. I think that despite the extra time, many of us still won't be able to complete the paper. And yes, half his class failed his first test last year. Yet he's trying to act like the saviour, saying "I'm giving you all an extra 10 mins, the paper is actually only 60 mins long." Well, thanks for the generosity, but doesn't that mean we'll die even more horribly in future tests? Argh. I think this year's Maths exemption might just go down the drain. In fact, 3N students are already getting very confuddled with revision, what with surds, "completing the square", Vieta's Theorem etc. All that information being churned around and around in the brain has even resulted in some coming up with their own theories, like this one: "if...you see her, she's chio. she's your friend's, she's ugly. if she's yours you're blinded. the zack-and-clara theory." |
