[ 187. 140 marks ok and done with ]

oh well... bio paper today wasnt that difficult. but y i hai? cos not enough time to
finish... i was kinda mentally drained after the paper 1 MCQs. read very question
carefully... made full use of the 75 mins. then when paper 2 i was quite loss...
even though for the first time i can get to choose which 2 out of 5 essays to do.
i was at the crossroads. cos every topic i studied came out for essay part. and not
all the topics i studied 'fully' so i spent quite some time choosing the ones i think
i can score more marks.

seriously two 3-parts essays of 40 marks took a lot of time to write. still muz
brainstorm... still have 6 structured questions too... when the teacher told us fifteen
mins left, most were quite shocked... firstly, there was a sudden outburst of voice
and it was so loud. then for me, i had a greater shock... i was still
at question 3 of the structured part... and i left out two parts of my essays cos
i wanted to come back and brainstorm for more. made a quick count i had to salvage
40 marks in 15 mins... my hand trembled like crazy... lucky those wif heavier weightage
needed to quote data so not much of understanding... i saw the pattern and wrote the
relationship put in some figures and moved on. 4m question i gave 3 points cos
i really need the time to try attempt other questions. the situation doesnt allow
me to even do the questions that required thinking. those 'suggest' questions i
skipped. left quite a few blanks... *ouch* lucky its 1m or 2m but chalked up can
make a grade le :( i can say it was the first bio paper that i am confident in
cos the concept questions were ez to answer and of high weightage... but didnt
have enough time to actually read, understand and score better... haiz.

first was GP, now bio... i think i nid to tone down tt level of caution tt is slowing
me down... well i still have bio option topic and practical... 115 marks to gain!
hopefully i wont freak out on my maths paper which i normally did. chemistry have
to answer 10 essays in 2 hr 45 mins. *worried*
