[TR] Term 4 reflections

Its the last day of the school and the school holidays have officially begun. Well what a crazy year it has been, firstly what a crazy day it has been. I ate 6 slices of pizza today! 3 from my class's pizza party, and another 3 from my CCA's pizza party. :)

YUM.....

But seriously, what a crazy year it has been. My results went from good to bad then to good again. I'm really happy with my performance this year for Science. With the exception for term 2, I think I really did my best for all 3 terms. And most importantly, I had fun doing it. Having the opportunity to do an experiment a week, is not something every child gets, and I'm really thankful for it.

Even if my pride got the better of me in the middle of the year, I got back on my feet and it got me exempted for the year. It really paid off. And now, after some time deciding on which special program I should choose and whether or not I should take a Special Program in the first place, I think I finally know what it is. SMTP. I have a huge passion for science and discovery. And I can see that SMTP Science will really provide me with that opportunity to learn even more next year. Getting to the use the SRC, as well as engage in research is something I have always dreamed off.

Anyway, this is probably my last post of the year but the first post you see when you click on my blog, so I will make a handy content page. :)

[TR] Term 3 Reflections

YAY! I feel just like how I felt when I got back my term 1 results. Only this time, I'm even happier because I topped the class. I got 43/45 for the test.

I'm so happy because in term 2 I said that I wanted to get back 42/45 again for term 3's test. And it turns  out, not only did I manage to meet that goal, I managed to surpass it!

The even better news? I heard that you no longer need A1s for all term tests for exemption in Science, all you need is an average above 80. And my average meets that with some room to spare, because of my awesome results in term 1 and term 3. I'm so happy.

I'm quite proud of myself because I said that I would pay a lot more attention in class and that's what I did to achieve this results. But, its not over, I can't be sure that I got exempted until I get the official certificate, but I remain optimistic.

[TR] Term 2 Reflections

Sigh... Well this term was rather sad. My results dropped a lot. :( I got 33/44 for the term test.

Everyone experienced a result drop because the test apparently was really hard. But I think I experienced one of the worse results drop among the whole class. 10 marks!! Thats a lot of marks. In fact almost 20%. How I will get exempted for Science this year. You need to get A1s for all your tests. I got an A2, 73% actually. I just hope I can make it up with Term 3's test. 

I think complacency is really what got me this term. I thought I could still make some magic with what I did with Term 1, as I just studied the night before the test for Term 1 and still got my A1. I saw myself not paying attention during science lessons, sometimes just doodling pictures of test tubes or other random things, I thought I could pull off the same thing for term 2 as I did for term 1. When revising for the Term 2 test. I saw myself having to spot questions and topics because I saw myself not understanding many concepts and topics for chemistry.

I mentioned in term 1, that I saw myself not paying attention during science classes and wanted to change that, turns out i did not. 

I hope that I will learn my lesson in term 3. I will work hard to get back my 42/45.

I guess I have to work really hard for the End of Year Exams since I probably won't be able to get my exemption.

[TR] Term 1 Reflections

For science this year so far, I think I have performed pretty well getting 42/45 for my science test.

I'm so happy.

I think that I should maintain this momentum for next term, and continue to work hard for next term to achieve another round of awesome science results. I'm hoping to get exempted for science so I have to work hard. 

I think what I can improve on is my consistency. Some days I just can't concentrate, and I end up screwing up the experiment. I need to pay attention and not just stare blankly into space. 

That is what I will try to improve on next term.
