Negativity.

It's something that just keeps resounding my head these few days. I've left school for the weekend, loaded not with my exam results, but with the awful reviews of our results from the teachers. What is worse? Knowing your results as quickly as possible, or putting it off for as long as possible? So far i've gotten back nothing but H1 Math. That's probably the only paper i've aced this time round. But then again, so what? H1 subjects are H1 subjects.

My anxiety and fear has driven me to the point where you will see me taking out my Promo 1 exam papers and calculating the 'worst-case scenario' marks. The verdict?

If i fail my Economics Case Study (highly possible) but manage to score for my essay section, i'll still be able to scrape a C grade; if i'm lucky and do very well for essay, then B grade.

If i fail my Physical Geography paper (around 45 marks) but am able to perform well for the Human Geography paper; similarly, a C grade should not be unattainable. Only if i get 75 marks and above for Human Geography will i be able to get B. Forget the A for now.

Assuming that i get mediocre scores for all of my Literature essays (based on the answer scheme), a C grade may still be possible. If i manage to score 17 or higher for any 2 essays out of the six essays, a B grade is possible. Here i'll be banking on Taming of the Shrew and The Birthday Party. What a surprise.

My aim to ensure minimum shock/disappointment? Average C/D for all my 3 H2 subjects. I'm worried about GP because i did one of the so-called 'fatal questions' for Paper 1. Strangely enough, my points are practically similar to the points given in the mark scheme. Still, i don't want to ascend with dreams and descend with shattered dreams, so i'm aiming to at least pass GP. What's the probability of me doing well for Paper 2 anyway? -.-

I'm sincerely sorry if i'm pissing anyone off with my ranting. You have the option not to read if you feel that i'm making a mountain out of a molehill. But my insecurities are completely justified.

At the same time, i'm angry at myself for ridiculously panicking during some of the exams (Literature P1, Physical Geography and Economics P1), no doubt resulting in me making some of the dumbest mistakes known to mankind. It's just such a crying shame.

Things that i have to start working on:
1) Hone my Economics Case Study skills (Come to think of it, i've never properly passed any Case Study)
2) Do more DRQs (and to a lesser extent, essay questions) on Physical Geography
3) Brush up on my analysis skills for Literature

And most importantly......DON'T FREAK OUT DURING EXAMINATIONS!
