ok.

i saw your original post dun edit edit ok

In my school, no one is awarded above 47 for English or 85 for BM essays.

Why? Because being strict in school is better for everyone.

The way I see it, there's always a way to improve, so I always take it positively and think about how I can push their boundaries to give me a 49 or a 90. It's one of the reasons I like my school, because most of the teachers want you to do REAL WORK, and they'll never, never let you off the hook that easily.

Think I'm bullshitting? Three students from my school won the Oxford and Cambridge English Essay Writing Competition (hosted by Sunway) this year. We get marks like 44, 45, for English essays in school, and when our essays written for the competition were read by professors from different countries, they declared them creative and well-written and a multitude of other things that exceeded everyone's expectations.

Just my 0.02, not directed to anyone in particular, but take lower or "underestimated" marks as an opportunity to grow.


(The kicker? The guy who won the first place for the competition, and judges praised him to no end? He got a B+ for English in school. That is how strict our teachers are, and how serious they are about learning language, and any other subject, for that matter.)

EDIT: omg sorry my grammar is all over the place too excited wtf (and the return of the cinapek)

ALIEN.

paranoia. hahaha. like that one la, cannot escape. maybe cos spm is so final and for most of is these are the last language papers we'll ever take. so, paranoid a bit. imho your points were really good and really strong!

eraser and set square. cannot go without set square cos i don't have the ability to draw 90 degree lines

HAHAH yes. The Oxford mathematical set (a gold-coloured metal box with basic mathematical instruments) has a pretty good set square with scale division of 0.1 cm. I've been using that for this year, but one thing is that it gets dirty quite easily (not sure how I managed to make it so stained...) and the corners are round (ugh I hate this in a set square, makes drawing lines so difficult).

I've bought a cheap mathematical set for SPM because the set square has a sharp edge.

1. They would have a lower overall impression. So from "Excellent" it would go to "Good".
2. Estimated mark depends on the bunch of students, but I've heard from 65 to 75. Maybe 80?
3. I don't know what you mean by "kampung" words, but "high level words" aren't really NECESSARY to get an A+. In fact, a lot of teachers discourage "high level words" due to the risk of students misusing them.
4. I think that your points for Truly Malaysian sound good and solid.
5. I'm sure you'll be able to obtain at least an A-.
6. Please try to stop thinking about English cos it's over and Sejarah is next

REALLY? My teacher gave me 0 cos my line was not 90 degrees enough - it was more like 87, so off.

We've covered this before, either here, or in v1. But anyway, the general consensus before someone yells at you is that pencil is super risky because it can be rubbed off by friction, and answers can be changed bla bla bla basically NOT ENCOURAGED but it is allowed.

For Add Math 2, I'm writing one question per page so if anything goes wrong I can use the rest of the page to redo.

For Mod Math, maybe you can write the formula in pen and the rest in pencil until you have time to check.

read notes
cry a lot
pray a lot
idk just read a lot
and look for tips

Anyone get a tiny Chinese lady who looks like Edna Mode as your invigilator? Haha she's my physics teacher :3

Also omg today I slapped a mosquito and my invigilator stared me down until I lifted the squashed body of the mosquito and mouthed, "nyamuk, cikgu."

Small mistakes are not fatal in accounts! Ok assuming you're doing penyata pendapatan and you forget to minus ambilan stok from your belian right? It doesn't mean that you won't get marks for the rest of the question. They will deduct half a mark for your wrong belian value, and then mark your answers based on the calculation with the belian value that you wrote.

In the end, if your untung bersih is wrong, they minus 2 marks.

So in total, you lose about 2.5 marks from one small mistake.

Wah 15? Must be high English level. My class had 5 people with A+. (But yeah, our marking is super foooking strict)

Oh. Yeah, think my class would have a substantial increase in A+. Anyone's class would.

SPM is surprising anyway. My add math teacher was talking about how one class in my school had 4 passes and all fails in trials, but in SPM they'll have all passes and 4 fails.

I'm a fast writer and I've had A LOT of practice. I used to write every day, believe it or not.

I had way too many paragraphs to count in my story. Way too many short ones. Had a bit of dialogue, too

Speaking of boats, my friend who wrote the Being Alone question talked about getting stranded on a deserted island. Cliche of the decade hahaha.
