Finally, the Common Test Olympiads are over!

I seriously dont understand why they call it a test!…

Im just darn pissed that the chem teachers set something out of the syllabus. BTW my chem tutor once told our class we shouldnt do NJ’s papers as they have questions out of syllabus… I dont see any difference from ours.

This is my hypothesis of how teachers think:

1. JCTs- fail the students and hopefully they GET MOTIVATED. Lets just forget about the fact that most of them spent their june holidays on textbooks and papers most likely either in the library/fast food outlet/airport

2. Weeks after JCT- You start telling students why they should pay attention since NONE OF THEM GOT ABOVE X (Where X is an interger hopefully larger then 50, but most probably lower then 50)

3. Promos- You set a paper, it still must be difficult. When other schools take ure paper, they start to think WAH XXX JC must be a JC full of smart people, look at their paper, even teachers from our JC CANNOT DO!

your sch rep goes up instantly just be looking at the difficulty of the paper…

*anyone willing to prove my hypothesis correct? or have u had enough of math too?

Anyway, I should be fair. The physics n econs depts dont seem to follow my hypothesis. Which is actually is a good thing if my hypothesis is proven wrong.

Anyway im still damn pissed about what a tutor did to us. Since he doesnt name names, so i shallnt. But lets just call him=someone=Mr. X

Mr. X told us one week before the JCTs that the hints he has given us was during his classes and he had NONE left to give us… so he KINDLY hinted to us. Those of you who have been paying attention during my class, would know what i mean. Of course it was just to spite people like me who fall asleep during his class… but my brain still works u see… i still do know that he gave our class a genetics presentation to do and showed us a video on genetics. So i inferred that he meant genetics was coming out!… Of course just before the test i studied genetics… n SURPRISE out of the 12 questions, NONE WERE ON GENETICS! ar damn it cannot be the tutors fault… i must have heard wrongly… =X then again… im still pissed he told me that… cuz i tried so hard to understand wth is genetic engineering and what exactly is so controversial about it!.!.! n it dint help that when u ask different people, they all have their own accounts of Genetics… Well of course thats not it la. I mean Mr X is a nice teacher. He believes in helping his students do the best they can u see. I mean WHICH TEACHER WOULD WOULDNT WANT THAT?! so Mr X told us dont stab ureself in ure feet. Dont just write about things happening locally, write with a global perspective! Of course, Mr X was smart to end of by saying unless the question specifies otherwise. Eh true enough the question specified OTHERWISE!. I seriously wonder where was Mr. X when the paper was being set =S Haiz perhaps he was looking at the Year 1s papers and was trying his best to help us…

Im just so confused… ar well… I’ll most probably see a gp paper with disappointing results… then again i should be fair to myself… Just like what a GP relief teacher told our class,"By now, you guys should know what is relative". Indeed, its the most important concept! Nothing is absolute. Somehow i felt that she was like the internet. Just that she was a walking internet. She can pour our information… literally flooding you… n best of all, its presented in a student-friendly manner!(that is, it goes into ure ears, keeps u awake and makes u yearn for more).
