The Mouse Says,
A Level might have not ended for me yet but you have absolutely no idea how happy economics students are when it ended yesterday! Hahahah! I'm sorry, I like economics, I do but I just don't like to take the paper.
Honestly speaking, 2009 papers are the weirdest of the lot thus far.
1. Maths: Complex didn't come out twice. That's something. Our teachers told us that complex should come out twice, it didn't. Plus that weird functions-but-not-exactly-functions question in Paper 1 was either hell easy or hell difficult. It's the latter for me.
2. Economics: Can you believe it? This is probably the first time Cambridge didn't set a single question on Macroeconomic Policies! I focused on that a lot to the extent of researching individual economies' policy focus but nooooo, none came out. My college managed to spot question 3 of the essay though. But really, everyone on Twitter were complaining about why macroeconomic policies were not tested. Anyway, the essay was a disaster. Twitterers can justify that. Go search. Case study was generally better.
3. Physics: well, well, well. Another weird paper. The first question that stared at me when I turned the page was:
Give a reasonable estimation for the following and include it's SI units:
(a) the land area of Singapore [WHAT?!]
(b) the acceleration of the mass rapid transit system of Singapore [O.O]
(c) the power of a car on an expressway [dies]
6 marks in total. It's either a give away or you lose them all. I stared for a good 1 minute before turning to the next page which was, thankfully, easy. But generally, I would have to say, Physics wasn't that okay. I don't know. My H2 physics friends were saying how brainless their paper was. T.T I want my A for my H1 physics, please!
4. Chemistry: what was surprising was that mechanism wasn't tested much, was it?! And heterogenous and homogenous catalyst and all that. But I don't have much confidence in Paper 3. Paper 2, yes. Paper 1 is this monday.
I'm just worried. The majority are depending on the Bell Curve to help us this time round. ): And Econs - I just want to get at least a C, not placing much hope on that one. Oh, GP was.. ): I don't know, I just want nothing below a C for GP. and nothing below a B for all my other papers.
I'll just leave it to the Almighty now. All I can do is to work really hard for my multiple-choiced questions for Chemistry and Physics.
Amin.
-love, Atiqah (:
