Test stress ._.
-
Argh. Yesterday there was a test which determined student's ability to take A Maths in sec 3. I walked in with confidence until...
No calculator. My teacher [let's not blame him, sigh , me and my carelessness] didn't help me find a calculator so I rushed around looking for one... Couldn't find one. So how? I sat for that test without that stupid calculator. Had to give up quite a few questions because let's face it, if I was a math genius, I wouldn't be sitting for this test. Because of my anxiety of those blank questions, I think I screwed up my test royally. I'm now waiting for those results to appear... I don't want flying colours, just a darn pass so I can take A Maths... Really feel like living on borrowed time
, I don't want to disappoint my parents YET again when it comes to mathematics.
However, if I do fail this time and I cannot take A Maths next year, will I be handicapped when I do go Poly or JC? I'm trying to prepare for the worst in case I really do fail and by not taking A Maths, I'm like stabbing myself in the foot or sth. Maybe by preparing [in chinese, 'xing li jun bei'], I will not do anything stupid if it looks bleak.
Haha. People scolded me, saying, 'it's only a test, why got suicidal thoughts?'
I mean, look. Quite a percentage of people do take A Maths throughout many, many schools.
But you know parents and 'face'.

Appeal lor.. Just tell them you forgot your calculator.. Dont think they'll deny you of the chance to study due to this "forgetful"incident bah..

wats your sch?

Haha. Cannot say... last time students [my class =.=] kena haul up for saying things about teachers xD.
Just asking, are there anyone who didn't take A Maths and went to Poly and JC? For the courses which require math like engineering, was it a steep learning curve for you guys? -
If the school ask u to drop it, get your parents to write letter saying they insist u take it as an "O' level subject.
Just because u fail, doesn't mean u won't do well for "O'.
Add Maths is not needed if u want to do Arts in jc & uni & certain courses in poly. Check out the entry requirements by visiting the poly's websites.
It is impt. for courses like Engrg., Business, Computing, Sciences -

Just for a joke, Add maths sums can be done without a calculator most of the time.

A Maths = Nightmare.
Even if i get the answer right, teacher also say I bluff her.
Juz bcos I duno how to write out the answers the way she wanted.
And so, I dropped A maths in O level.. and guess wat? tmd higher percentage of passing for A Maths as compared to Maths! -
if there were 10 people taking A Maths and 8 people passed, that means pass rate is 80%.Originally posted by browniebaobao:A Maths = Nightmare.

Comparing to E math. 100people take only 70 pass. passing rate 70%.
It is common. -

I think my school(my teacher) is also doing this sort of test too, so I want to ask, if we fail it right, means we have to "drop A Math"..right?
but can we still sit for it in O' Level? Meaning we never attend the lessons but we sit for the test ourself, getting the lessons outside? -
r u sec 3 or 2?

even in engineering world you can pian-jiat if you know basic arithmetric la. university can make you learn lots of theory but when you go work, roughly rougjly can survive also.

Can. during the registration of O level. Just ask you form teacher to ask the principal is she allow you to take another O level subject by yourself. If you P approve, then ok lor.Originally posted by Y_Shun:I think my school(my teacher) is also doing this sort of test too, so I want to ask, if we fail it right, means we have to "drop A Math"..right?
