It’s finished. It’s done. Finally. There is no such thing as IB examination for me anymore.
It was quite tough, some of it. Some are easy while others are quite ‘terkapai-kapai’ to get 7. Here’s a brief story of my final exam.
Malay A1
Paper 1
We started our exam with Malay paper 1.
It was quite hard to understand the passage given. It’s Malay but how can we understand completely the whole story if we are only given about one or two pages of the literature work? Some of us made wrong assumptions on the dialogues, the relationship of the characters and so on.
For me, I just answered it without much problem. Ye la, main jawab je. BM mane nak tau salah betul.
Paper 2
Paper 2 was easier than paper 1. Everyone agrees on this. Luckily, I remembered some of the dialogues from the dramas.
Mathematics
Paper 1
An unexpected incident during our paper 1 Math HL. While answering the question smoothly, suddenly there was no electricity. Biao je la. Pedulikkan. But of course, there were lots of sweats.
Paper 1 was seriously easy, compared to our trial and some exercises. Bak kate Reza, tengok soklan ni memang macam makanan saya. I hope to get full mark in Paper 1.
Paper 2
Hard. Not sure if harder/easier than trial. But it was undoubtedly hard.
I answered it all. But I’m not sure if I made any careless mistakes. Hope not. Sigh.
Paper 3
Quite hard and I made lots of mistakes. I lost my marks from question 3(b) till the end. That is about 20+ marks. Sigh…
English
Paper 1
No comment. It’s like any other exercises we had.
Paper 2
I wrote about a police report regarding Mat Rempit. I’m not sure if it’s good enough. It wasn’t as fun as when I was writing essay for my trial exam.
Physics
Paper 1
VERY VERY HARD!
To get 20/40 correct is good enough. To get 30/40 is quite impossible. And to get 40/40 is an impossibility. I was like huh? Then like what is this? The next one’s like (total silence).
I hope I’ll get around 25+.
Paper 2
It’s ok in my opinion. Just like normal questions. Not so much of difference except for the question one.
But sume tak puas hati sebab projectile motion tak kuar. Projectile motion antara tajuk paling senang nak dijawab.
Paper 3
For the 1st time, I studied paper 3 physics seriously, after seeing my paper 1 was like hopeless.
Paper 3 was mostly like subjective questions. You just answer it. Write as long as you wish (in the spaces given). And you’ll never know if it’s right or wrong.
Entah la…. Harap-harap 7 physics saya…
Chemistry
Paper 1
Err… Not much to comment on. It’s quite ok.
Paper 2
Soklan satu tak tersangka lak tanya pasal uncertainty dan significant figures. Tak pe la. Saya pro sebab selalu siap lab report.
It’s ok, my chem paper 2.
Paper 3
We took Biochem and Further Organic Chem.
The biochem questions was biase-biase je. But I couldn’t answer the question about HDL and LDL, almost the whole page except the definition of the two lipoproteins. Aiyo…
Ade lak salah eja. Malam tu Atta dah cita yang starch tu leh jadi amylose atau amylopectin tapi dia tak gitau cana nak eja amylopectin. Saya eja aminopeptin.
Questions of Further Organic was quite ok. They asked mostly about activating/deactivating group of benzene and acidity/basicity of organic compounds. Tapi sayangnya, penat-penat hafal mechanism tapi yang kuar mechanism yang pelik. Rugi hafal hampir 6 mechanism.
Business & Management
Can this subject be rounded without having to split it into papers?
For business, I really didn’t study much because in the end, the mark scheme will say “A detail approach and relevant to the case study.” Zzz…
So, for business paper 1, I studied the morning before the exam and the same method is used for paper 2.
But I guess, I answer it quite ok. At least I finish to answer all the questions. This was the first time for me to answer all paper 1 question and the second time I finish to answer all paper 2 questions.
Relax ja la…. Tengok je result nanti…
Conclusion
I really99x want to get 45 points. 7 for all subjects and additional 3 points from TOK and EE. This is because there is still no student in KMS who gets 45 points. In KMB, there are about 5 students last year.
If any of us get 45 points, he/she will break 2 or 3 records.
1. The first person in KMS getting 45 points
2. The first person in KMS getting 7 for Math
3. The first person in KMS getting 7 for Physics (if he/she takes Physics)
I hope that I’ll get 45 points. InsyaAllah…
