Is it just me, or....
« on: September 14, 2009, 03:47:06 pm »
anybody agree that the May June 2009 papers for Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Maths are really easier than previous years??

Can I predict that this Oct session will less tougher than past years as well???

merci beaocoup.

i wont say they were easier .. they were different tho ..

in my opinion .. u dont want to predict anything with CIE examiners .. one day theyre all gd and easy going .. another they give u harsh weird papers (like the bio p3 .. i think the examiner there was an ex. business examiner or something :P)

they seem pretty easy but different format and thus confusing for the students...
And the format changed this year, so it was new for us....now since the november batch is aware of the change, i dunno about hoe lenient the CIE examiners would be

Precisely, i took the exam and it was not the Qs, it was the format, like in Bio, they were big 5 mark Qs and 6 marks Qs, where previouslt they were broken up. Thus many of the students were not comfy with the way the exam was written.

oui, that was the troublesome one...the "stomata closing" thingie, wasn't it? elaborated the "notes" in my brain 1st to answer those questions...until I ended up peeping my textbook lol..it's pure memorizing and not analytical question :p

If u have "notes" revise them...and then do lots of pastpapers..so that in the Exam Night u shall just flip through the pastpapers reading the questions and answers..

Give urself some rest in "EID" It comes once a year..so Enjoy it and then get into work after that..lol..

Tout le meilleur pour vos examens (All the best for your exams  :P)
