ah HA!
being a double maths student in nj, i felt that there is a need to defend my cause.
you see, maths is definitely of SOME practical use, as demonstrated below in the analysis of trends in my exam results.
MATH C
this is assumed by many to be a given A. but NO! i had to be so special and be stuck in a vicious cycle of 65s, 66s, and 67s.
this is my year one CT marks.
promos
year 2 CT1
AHA! do you see a pattern forming? it goes 65-66-67. now lets assume the cycle repeats. and the next result would be a 65.
WHICH IS TRUE!!
of course, if indeed my results follow this trend, then i'd get a 66 for prelims and peak at the right time- the a levels!
isn't this amazing?
i'd show you what's TRULY amazing!
this is my physics year 1 CT MCQ marks.
this is my year 2 CT1 marks!
isn't the mark, coincidentally, the same (24)?
notice how the denominator changes!
isn't it truly AMAZING how i can be so lousy?
now i shall show you what's incredible!
my year 2 CT2 physics MCQ marks!
it is indeed incredible!
i have gotten EVEN LOUSIER!
and my physics grades follow a pattern too!
using my trusty graphing cal and plotting a graph of y= -x, we get:
starting with D in CT1, E in promos, O7/O8 (after/before moderation) for year 2 CT1, F9 (34.3! talk about errors in rounding off!) for year 2 CT2!
UNBELIEVABLE i tell you!
(p.s: i have run out of synonyms.)
the good news is, there is no grade worse than F9. so unless i happen to get lower marks with the same F9 grade the next time round, it can only mean one thing:
I AM GOING TO IMPROVE. HAHAHA.
let me show you another interesting thing:
my FM grade. (doesnt it look like 52 not equals to 1, which is like, duh?)
but that's not the point.
my point is the comment. hahaha
oh man. but i don't want to talk to him!
we all know it takes 2 hands to clap, 2 people to converse and 1 person to scold/nag/carry out what-are-you-doing-why-so-lousy talks. or console you.
it probably means the first 3.
(haha no offense to mr neo!! sorry if you ever see this.)
fm, by the way, has been a B-A-O-D. which is essentially some positive cubic curve.
which also means i'm going to keep improving!
chem, on the other hand, is a negative cubic curve, which can only bring bad news.
NEGATIVE. the word says it all.
naturally, maths is not all about variables.
there are constants too.
thankfully, GP has been rather constant.
i hope i don't jinx my latest gp marks by saying this!!
so you see. maths IS of practical use!
i'd have aced that essay!
