Studying for Biology was tedious. There were a lot of things to memorise and just too little time (but maybe that’s just because I started late) and just too little memory space (in the brain). In the end, I didn’t manage to completely revise for every chapter. Maths is a different story though; there is little, if any, to study for, in my opinion. With the formula sheet, memory work is almost zero. All we need to understand are concepts and the rest is up to how we apply the formulas.

To have Maths and Bio on the same day is a blessing, I must say. I can concentrate on Bio without having to worry much about Maths. So anyways, to summarise the two papers….is quite impossible because they’re both completely different.

Elementary Mathematics Paper 2:
Quite easy, in my opinion. A few challenging problems here and there but other than that, it was relatively easy. The challenging problems were refreshing, otherwise it would have been a boring 2 hours and 30 minutes. I managed to complete the whole paper with about 10-15 minutes left to spare. I checked what I could, so it wasn’t thorough. Knowing myself, I would have probably made several careless mistakes here and there.

Biology Paper 2:
If Physics was tough, Biology was arduous. I think I wrote gibberish for almost every single question. I find the questions very demanding - as in, it requires a lot of thinking and connecting various Chapters together….or maybe it just requires common sense…? Well, either way, I wasn’t able to do them. To make matters worse, I haven’t really revised certain chapters and those certain chapters were the ones that came out! The chapters that I revised on were barely tested!

I wouldn’t be surprised if I fail Biology but maybe there’s still hope if I do well for Paper 1. Luckily, the essay questions were manageable, with the exception of one. So maybe, it’ll help pull up my marks.

Now that that’s over and done with, time to study for the next papers. (Hopefully, I won’t fall asleep again - I wasted 3 hours sleeping yesterday…) Tomorrow’s papers are Malay Paper 2 (Ah crap. Have hope?) and Additional Mathematics Paper 2 (Can’t be too bad, right? - I guess I better go refresh my memory and maybe do some practice).
