When I first got my Maths paper back, I was shocked. Flabbergasted. How could I get such a pathetic mark? 76/100. It was barely an A. I had expected at least an 80. It was below my expectations although I had been warned that prelims were going to be extremely hard. Most of the questions that I were marked wrong were 'the don't know how to do' type. But of course, there were also some careless mistakes. It seems that there is always no way to not get unthoughtful mistakes. My section B pulled me down the most. I only got a 21/30. How pathetic is that? My sections A and B were the ones that I counted on to pull me up because my section C usually gets less than 40. Although I am quite dissapointed, I feel that I only have myself to blame. Since the start of P6, I started to hate Maths because of the crazy word problems that needed me to think out of the box. So, I kept avoiding Maths and revised mainly on MT, which could pull me up. Come to think of it, I really regret doing this, but I hate those type of challenging problems. It's just like an addiction. But this is an addiction to get away from something.
I am terribly upset by my English and Science marks. I expected my English to get at least 90 because I usually count on it to pull my Maths up. i was really lucky that my other components for English managed to pull me up. My Science did ok only. I am quite happy with my section B because it's the highest i got this year. But my section A failed me with only a 50. And some of the mistakes were unthoughtful ones. This really angers me. Looks like I gotta work on my accuracy. I was quite pleased with my chinese because although it retrogressed, I still got an 80. So, looks like my hard work paid off for this subject.
Also, there is no point crying over spilled milk, what's done cannot be undone. So, I can only change the future but not the past. I'm going to try and pull up my socks and give my all for PSLE, the deciding moment. I would like to end this post with a phrase. "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery and today is a gift."
