Tests...

During these recent weeks, it was tests, tests and guess what? More tests!!! There was the Maths test, Chinese test, etc. and most importantly, I had a shocking consecutive three tests today! They are the Integrated Humanities test, Science test and the Japanese Beginner's test. As for these tests, I either did not revise or only revised part of these subjects due to time constraints by homework and other activities.

For the Maths test and Chinese test, I already received my results since last week. Fortunate for me, I scored thirty out of forty for my Maths test, which is a perfect seventy-five percent for me to get an A1! I was quite surprised, as I merely spent half an hour revising Maths a day before the test and I got an A1. The questions were really challenging, however, as they composed of different kinds of symbols, and some other topics such as continued fractions, recurring decimals etc.

As for the Chinese test, I was really disappointed at my own results. I merely scored fifty-nine out of one hundred, which is a C5. I had expected myself to score at least a B3 as Chinese was one of my best subjects. I have to admit this though, the words,phrases etc. in the test were totally new to me as I had never encountered them before ever in my life. Well, I just encourage myself to keep going and and I would tell myself that having passed the test was not bad already as I had only spent an hour on revising Chinese.

I wouldn't want to talk about the other tests, as doing so would just depress me even further. About the Integrated Humanities test, Science test and the Japanese Beginner's test, I was rather impressed with how I fared for it. I knew how to do every single question in the first two tests, the Integrated Humanities and Science test, even though I did not revise for my Integrated Humanities test, and when I merely did some last-minute revision for my Science test as the teacher during a period of Chinese did not come (My Science teacher swopped two periods with my Chinese teacher and my Chinese teacher had three periods, although she didn't come for that one period).

As for the Japanese Beginner's test, it was held in the MOELC (Ministry of Education Language Centre) - Ghim Moh, the place I study Japanese, which is my third language. At first, I had expected it to be an extremely hard test as we were told that there were many topics to be tested on, such as some basic vocabulary, greetings etc. However, upon learning that the test would only last fifteen minutes, I felt better. This was because what I thought of was that, the test must be easy or else it wouldn't last that short. What I had expected was true. It was quite simple, except that I messed up some questions. One of them was for me to write out good-bye in Japanese. It is written as さようなら in japanese, but I wrote　さょうなら. Another one was of listening comprehension where I was supposed to write めがね but I wrote ねがめ as I heard wrongly, according to what my other classmates say. Its getting rather late now so bye!
