Contrary to the popular belief, I realized that teachers aren't exactly out to get us during exams. I've been told many many times over the past 6 years that teachers plot our downfall by setting the toughest papers during exams. They want us to fail, feel demoralized, feel worthless and stupid. And yes, I know a few teachers who examplify that notion but I realized, in YJ, no matter how stringent the promotional criteria is, the teachers actually want us to pass. And my history teacher is a living testament to that. The paper he set for us today was child's play. The same questions he had gone through over and over again. It is quite obvious he wants us to pass, not only that, he wants us to pass with flying colours. He could've set killer questions but he didn't. He made it easy for us and I thank him for that.
Literature was okay, except the Unseen Poetry section where there was actually a typo-error. And I realized that if the typo-error had been spotted during the exam, it would've made the interpretation of the poem much much easier. Kingsley was the one who found the error and he notified our teacher. Strangely, our teacher has yet to respond to the error. Do you think they should give us compensation marks? Hell yes, because if the error wasn't there, interpreting it would have been much much easier. All my classmates and levelmates have been complaining about how difficult it was to interpret that one pathetic poem. Come on!
Overall, promos went quite okay. I know I can pass everything, and I'm hoping for an A in both Econs and History because they were the best subjects. Maths was reasonable and I'll be content with a B and Literature would probably be a C because of the poem. GP, I am not sure but I know I did enough to ensure at least a C. Maybe a B or if I am lucky, I might get an A. I'll keep my fingers crossed. Anyway, now that the promos are over, there is no point contemplating on what's been done. I know I cannot change my answers or anything, so the best thing is to keep my fingers crossed, hoping I get safely promoted to J2 with my classmates.
