T2 W10 Journal Writing : Reflections of SA1 Performance

Hi Everyone,

The SA1 is over. Some of us have done well while others have not. For this week, I want you to reflect on your performance in this SA1. To help you do that, I will list some questions for you to ponder over:

1. Do you think the SA1 papers have tested you fairly? If 'Yes', which papers do you consider to be a fair test? If 'No', which papers do you consider to be unfair test?

2. Why do you think the papers have been a fair or unfair test?

3. Do you think you have done well in this semester? If 'Yes', what factors contribute to your success? If 'No', what factors contribute to your poor performance?

4. Do you think the remedial or enrichment classes in school were useful? If 'Yes', why? If 'No', why?

5. If you have home tuition (either by tutors/parents/relatives/etc), do you think this has been useful in improving your results? If 'Yes', why? If 'No', why?

6. What actions would you take to improve on your results after SA1?

7. What actions do you think the school should take to help you with your performance after the SA1?

My answers:

1)Yes, all the papers except for the maths paper 1.
2)The time for the maths paper 1 is not enough.
3)I have not done well in this semester.I could have done better if I work harder.
4)Yes because I have learnt more methods of solving problems.
5)Yes because they teach faster and we can what is about the topics before school teachers teach us.
6)I will study harder to get good results.
7)They could give us more enrichment classes.
