Clovers & Roses

Exams have officially begun and this time it is my FINAL exam. No more chance for repeating any of my modular units. The grades I get in this exam session is and will be my final grade for A-Levels. So the pressure is definitely ON. 

As of now, I have sat for 2 papers. Biology Unit 6 and Statistics 1. That bring me to a remainder of 8 papers for this exams. MAD STRESS!!

Clearly those who are taking A-Levels now may not understand what is Biology Unit 6 (except if you are also enrolled in Edexcel's A-Levels). Biology Unit 6 is basically a theory-based paper for practical work. Tests us on our research skills and our ability on planning a functional experiment based on all the Biology concepts. Since we aren't exactly able to conduct an actual research like those in UK. They have summer holidays to do it or something like that. Which we do not have that period of time. For CIE A-Levels I suppose your system varies from Edexcel's but nevertheless it is still on the whole A-Levels.

Anyway, I thought the paper was pretty okay. I won't say it was good because I am never that confident. One thing A-Levels has definitely taught me is NEVER HOPE FOR AN EASY PAPER. 

Seriously, an easy paper is the ultimate downfall. I am not even joking about it. They scale your marks that, example, for a 90 marks paper you need to score say 60 to PASS. Not to get an A but to PASS. So imagine how much of a screw up that would be if you scored 58/90 and FAILED. So I definitely don't hope for an easy paper.
