Got called to attend some bengkel menjawab Physics because I wrote 1 part of Section C wrong (careless), and tons of others who did worse than me didn't......

Disclaimer : I did this in PMR , where I wrote about my trial results and discussed about plans to further improve them before the actual examination . This time I'll do it again . This is not intended for self-indulgence , but as a reflection .



So here it is . After months of exhausting , stressful and sometimes heart-wrenching episodes and experiences , I've finally reached this point . ' Bahasa Inggeris ' may look out of place because my teacher hasn't added it in yet . 

First things first ...

I started my trials preparation pretty early , around June if I'm not mistaken . I figured if I'd want to go through the trials without any stress at all , I could just finish everything and relax . Boy , was I wrong .

My preparation became intense during the two-week break that we had for Hari Raya . It was incredibly stressful . Although I thought I had everything under control , but I realised that I had neglected Sejarah for far too long .

I told myself I would be happy with just straight A's , I had the feeling that I couldn't achieve that . The stress can get to you sometimes so it's best to not lose motivation when things don't go as planned .

I had zero recollection of Sejarah facts before the break . I felt I was doomed , I had only two weeks to cram everything in ! Luckily , I had my parents to complain to , and the opportunity to take long walks every day to help with the stress .

Breakdown of results

BAHASA MELAYU ( P1 - 120/130 P2 - 99/110 )

- I prepared only a few days before the paper . I think luck was on my side . Preparation mostly went into Karangan and KOMSAS . I had read and practised Novel questions months before , so I took a few glances on tema , watak , latar , nilai , pengajaran , teknik plot . I think I did many Prosa Klasik questions to get used to those KBKK questions . It paid off I think , one question ( Hikayat Langlang Buana ) read : " Mengapakah Tuan Puteri membawa pulang burung bayan itu ? " I had a lot of simple ideas to write about , SPM level requires simple and logical answers only .

For P1 , I did " faktor - faktor murid-murid ponteng sekolah " . I was lucky because I'd read that , and all the other options were too difficult for me ! I avoided Q1 , pengalaman hari sukan as I preferred factual essays in BM .

Things to improve on are my knowledge on karangan points , so I'll be able to choose from a wider range of questions , not just limit myself to Dimensi Diri and Dimensi Masyarakat questions . I took quite a bit of time answering Rumusan , so that must improve as well . Overall I'm quite happy with my BM result , first A+ this year .

ENGLISH P1 - 85/85 , P2 - 65/70

Nothing much to say here , really . English is the subject which I paid the least attention to . But a thing to note here is I only learned how to answer the Novel question a day before the paper . I'd finished Step by Wicked Step in May , but never cared to learn the answering technique .

Also , for the first time , I chose a one-word essay . I was never a person who'd choose to write a story , but this time I took the risk as I felt I'd exhausted my take on real-life stories about ' Mother ' , or ' Father ' . This time I chose the question with the prompt ' SILENCE ' . A very intriguing , but broad topic --- I came up with the plot there and then , taking quite some time to sort things out in my head before writing . It was sort of a self-exploration / spiritual work about how a fictional person  found silence in his life . Very happy with my P1 , had a few first-draft slips in my continuous writing though , will try to minimise them in SPM .

MATHEMATICS P1 - 38/40 , P2 - 97/100

Again , nothing much to say . I did have trouble with Earth as a Sphere though , and I drew plans for the first time in my trials ! A bit under-prepared for P2 , but I think I managed to do just fine .

ADDITIONAL MATHEMATICS
P1 - 64/80 , P2 - 81/100

A huge disappointment . I had always been consistent with my Add Maths , but this year I did very few questions , and the lack of practice showed in my result . I think trial , past years and model papers before SPM would fix this . However , this paper was devious --- especially P1 . Kudos to the teacher for those questions that really tested our grasp on A.M concepts .

SEJARAH P1 - 31/40 , P2 - 97/100 P3 - 100/100

Boy oh boy , how did I pull through Sejarah ? Aside from not having enough time to finish all the chapters ( especially the form five ones ) , and racing against time to cram as much as I could . Not happy with my P1 marks , questions that tested specific facts brought me down . I'll pay more attention to Sejarah this time .

EKONOMI ASAS P1 - 36/40 , P2 - 49.5/60

I'm really happy with how things turned out for E.A . It was my first time sitting an E.A paper . It felt a bit awkward --- never drew supply and demand graphs , never computed cukai , so I had some trouble in P2 . I also did not finish most of the form five chapters ! Thank goodness some common knowledge helped me with those objective questions . Will definitely pull my E.A grade to an A+ in SPM .

PHYSICS P1 - 46/50 , P2 - 95/100 , P3 - 40/40

I finished the entire Physics syllabus around early June myself as the teacher was too slow , so I did not prepare so much for it before the trials . This proved to be a risk as I had to recall some concepts in P1 , and referred to the formula sheet for those kinematic questions . Overall I'm satisfied with Physics ( my favourite subject ) , although I will at least practice once a week now .

CHEMISTRY P1 - 49/50 , P2 - 100/100 , P3 - 46/50

The highlight of my trials . I finished Carbon Compounds and Chemical for Consumers a week before the break all by myself as my teacher skipped the topic and was taking his own sweet time giving out handouts for those chapters . At first I felt I couldn't do it ( people told me Carbon Compounds will be very difficult ) , but I told myself to focus . With help from the internet , I finished that long chapter just in time , and I quite liked it .

I'd like to note that I was exhausted on the day which I had to sit for Chemistry ( 2nd last paper ) . Some of the P2 questions were unconventional , and I didn't have the energy to finish all the essay questions . But what a pleasant surprise it was when I received my Chemistry results today .

BIOLOGY P1 - 49/50 , P2 - 93/100 , P3 - 50/50

I was barely able to finish Reproduction in time . The plants reproduction part was very long for me . I paid more attention on the menstrual cycle part . I think reading Biology on the first week of the holidays proved to be costly , I'd forgotten part of what I'd studied in the actual exam . Only after the first 30 minutes of P2 did I manage to recall the facts needed to answer the essay questions . I kinda gave up studying Biology after finishing Chemistry , all that was in my mind was sleep . I needed to rest badly after all those harrowing papers . I only read the experiments to prepare for P3 . Biology is another one of the how-did-I-pull-through subjects , never thought I would have achieved an A+ .

MORAL

Finished with all those nilai's minutes before the exam .  Trial papers should prove helpful now .

___________________________________________________________________________________________

There you go . Sorry if I seemed to ramble , I'm quite tired right now , was involved some last-minute school activity and didn't get to sleep in the afternoon .

So , what's next ?

Remain composed , don't let the results affect me . I've a feeling that my principal would pile more pressure on me this time leading to the actual SPM , but I have to remain calm . I have to .

We'll be having Gerak Gempur too , but I won't let it bother me too much . I'll treat it as an exercise .

Hi, I'm new here.

I'm a pure science student with literature in english.

Just got my Add Maths paper yester day. Got 37. ;_; Parents scolded me kao kao.

Boy 96: Just bring textbook in? Did you return your textbook already? If so, I think they allow you to reborrow it. For KBKK, I just print a lot from Internet and bring in to exam hall. They say can bring any material ma.

My school doesn't offer literature in english. Have to go for outside tuition. Damn expensive.

By the way, I am so very impressed by your dedication and focus. So far, I think I only got 1 A in my trials which is English, my strong point. Is it me or is your SAP result numbered weirdly?

Disclaimer : I did this in PMR , where I wrote about my trial results and discussed about plans to further improve them before the actual examination . This time I'll do it again . This is not intended for self-indulgence , but as a reflection .



So here it is . After months of exhausting , stressful and sometimes heart-wrenching episodes and experiences , I've finally reached this point . ' Bahasa Inggeris ' may look out of place because my teacher hasn't added it in yet .

Lol, oops.

Anyway, are you people still going to school after trials? Lots of my classmates just ponteng and study at home. Today, only 13 people from my class came.

Atmosphere felt like after final exams/ after PMR like that. No one studied and everyone played Truth or Dare.

Anyone got any tips for moral essay questions, I always screw up the essay part. I got 64 for my moral in trial, if I can improve my essay, I can get 80+ I belive. Only got 3A, 3B 4C and 1D for the trial exam of my school. Sad...

So you use the 4-ayat way .

What did you get for Moral ? I think you need Rasional as well , the most important nilai . 

Well, I usually go straight to Section B to look over the questions and decide on which one I want to write about. Then I go back to section A to answer the directed writing and sort of think my plot over. Since pretty much every isi is given for section A, I can write it quickly and have more than one hour for my story. I think I wrote about 600+ words for my final exam last year. (It was for the word "Shopping") There was once I wrote Section A halfway,went to Section B and then spent the last 15 minutes on the rest of Section A. I'm quite all over the place, sorry.

I don't have a study schedule but I do go for tuition. I spend most of my time reading mangas and sleeping. But after looking at scholarships and stumbling upon this forum, I got semangat to study again. I'll probably spend like an hour or two every day doing independent revision and do objective questions in the car/bus.

For Moral, my teacher is quite lenient. Even for structure questions, if you don't know the definisi, you can just straught away give Kata Kunci.

EG: Nilai Rasional. Boleh berfikir dan bertindak wajar. Three marks earned.

Oh, that sounds horrible.

I once lost 16 marks because I didn't write the word "Nilai" in front of the nilai. I learned my lesson already.

Really? I did that for my structure questions and got zero for them just because I didn't use the word "Nilai".

stpxdf88l: That's just sad. I sympathise with you

I think you can combine in one paragraph.

Wah, need write teacher's name one meh?

Mine .

1 . A mother's sacrifice .
2 . If I were a superhero .
3 . Education . With or without examination ? Discuss .
4 . Write a story ending with " ... after all the help and love he provided , she decided to leave him . "
5 . Silence

I agree with you. My english essay usually get higher marks from my school teacher but lower from my tuition teacher who is a seasoned marker and old timer I can say.

Gotten back all my results with sejarah as the highest and BM as the lowest.

Sejarah is unexpectedly high, a 100, first in my form 5 life
