hey all noobs...GCE-O is actually O-Levels english grading, which is actually quite equivalent to the O-Levels English, except that they concentrate on your essay.
As for those pro-english-EST-noob ppl who want to appeal for EST paper recheck, I suggest you better don't waste your time. IMO, you most probably deserved your grade, which is anything but A1 because your scientific stuff just aint enough. If you think your 1119 essay getting A1 is proof that you deserve A1 in EST, I think you are pretty much WRONG. Please don't spam around on wanting a recheck of the EST paper just becuz of the your thinking that 'I got A1 for my 1119 but A2/B/C/D for EST. I think i deserve an A1 for my EST!'. If your scientific terms and facts aren't enough, you just won't get the grade.
1119 essay and EST essay are altogether a different ballgame. So quit whining and get on wif life. In fact, you run the risk of having your original grade downgraded if you get it rechecked. This is because they have been quite lenient when marking your paper for the first time. Bug them again and I think they will 100% 'ikut skema' or 'follow the marking scheme'. By that time that happens, you can kiss your ass goodbye.
If you are just not up to the mark, there is no use pushing it. It may just get worse, like what the FA of England did when they not only didn't reduce the ban on Jeremie Aliadiere of Middlesbrough, but in fact increased it. Think wisely b4 u act.
Don't you DARE judge me and call me a noob when you DON'T EVEN KNOW ME. Yes I may be strong in English. Does that mean I'm instantly weak in Science? I most probably deserve my grade because my scientific stuff ain't enough? How would YOU know? Did YOU mark my paper? We are here just stating our mind on CONTEMPLATING to recheck. And
how are we spamming on wanting a recheck on a thread that IS discussing about rechecking results?
You have NO RIGHT to call anyone a NOOB. Just because you're
apparently someone very happy with your life, that makes you someone grand and others a noob? Asking people to quit whining and to get on with life when YOU'RE the one whining about some '
crap-noob' blogs. Grow up!
Why don't YOU think wisely before SAYING anything next time.
