SPM, Week 3

Day 8: 29 November 2011

The second science paper: Chemistry.While past year papers were relatively easy, this year paper has some standard that has us thunderstruck. Paper 1 is okay, but I wanna say the paper is "tak ada standard". Some English scientific terms are not written and they are substituted by Malay words. We can obviously see who set the paper then. 

Paper 2 is okay, but there's one question that looks random. First, it says solution P, then out of nowhere, hydrochloric acid appears and solution P has been seemingly displaced. So random. Do they even proofread? Essay is quite shocking. Two more difficult chapters that are all about factuals are tested in Section B and we MUST answer either one, which make most of us grip our hairs to the extent some have become bold. **Exaggerating!!

Paper 3. I don't think I need to talk about the graph. Everyone who sits for the paper should know about the maddening draw-a-perfect-graph-but-then-need-to-rub-off-because-the-next-question-is-stupid things. Question 2, again, catches everyone off guard. Nobody would have expected that experiment will be tested. Some cried for the lost of 17 marks there.

Day 9: 30 November 2011

Biology. Every student's second nightmare (behind sejarah). Paper 1 is so easy half of my class dozed off after 30 minutes. Funny. Paper 2 has some difficulties. Some really need us to think critically and it's good because rote-learning kills creativity and some KBKK questions are good in moulding students who can think creatively. 

But the essay questions are really weird. It seems to have been affected by sejarah, where there are questions which only need logic and not biological knowledge. The questions aren't hot topics either, which makes the year SPM more weird.

Paper 3 is also slightly weird. Question 1 is fine, but the language they used is rather odd. Question 2 about potometer is new (first form 5 experiment) but we still manage to do it because we have predicted this question.

Overall, this year SPM is really, exceptionally bizarre.
