for the past 3 days, i've been really studying hard for my instru retest.
the minute i woke up, it was study time.
but i did get some quality rest in the middle.
asking questions here and there, understanding the lecture notes, explaining to myself verbally about what i had absorbed.
and finally, today's the test.
i wasn't at all confident that i would do well.
afraid that i would not be able to answer the questions.
just told myself that i would do my best for the paper.
try my best to answer the questions.
try to grab any marks that i could.
the first part of question 1 was kind of a breeze.
but then the terror started when i reached question 2.
i knew the formula, but i just couldn't convert the concentration correctly.
lost like 14 marks!
that was where i started losing loads of confidence.
kinda struggled through question 3, with the thought of whether i would be able to pass the test.
the last part was energy draining.
i knew that i could do it, but i lost quite alot of confidence.
tried cracking my brains, and thinking of the right answers.
tried to focus and recall back what i studied, but i couldn't.
i stayed for the entire 1 hour 30mins, make it 1 hour 29 mins instead.
i gave up on thinking, squeezing whatever answers i could squeeze on the paper.
left the lecture hall feeling uncertain of whether i would get that 12.5%. the pass was so important to me, it would definitely motivate me like tonnes and tonnes.
but i do know that i would not do as badly as how i did the previous 2 tests.
i seriously hope that what i have written on the script would be correct.
and for that 14 marks, i hope i could get at least 1 or 2 marks for writing the correct formula down.
but on the lighter note, i kinda passed biochem.
although i missed the passing grade by 3 marks, but still...counted pass lah!
dr papa smurf would do so. he thought i passed the paper, but i told him that i missed by 3 marks, and he gave that 'don't worry, i count it as a pass' face.
at least i do know that i can pass my final exams if i want to.
although i'm kinda worried for the instru retest, i shouldn't let it affect me too much.
the next stage is the final exams.
and i really got to make sure i pass, not borderline passes.
but at least a satisfying 'C' grade to pull up my GPA.
i started out this semester all slacky and lazy, and i've learnt my lesson.
it's time to really work hard, much much harder.
although there isn't much time left before the exams, but it isn't too late to start mugging.
move on and work extra hard.
that is what i have to do.
EDITED 1h 30 mins after i last posted:
YAYYYYYYYYY!!! i am seriously so happy now!
because i passed the instru retest!!!
35/60!
i didn't expect to get this sort of marks lahhh.
although it still isn't good enough, but still i got my 12.5%.
i am so so so so so motivated to do better for final exams!
"Although you have passed the CA component (60%), keep in mind that if you FAIL BADLY in the exam, it is still possible that you could fail this module."- quoted by ms ong through the email she sent.
yes, understood!
