it was science (chemistry) paper today. so lil missy here attempted sec 3 normal (academic) paper cos i happened to do invigilation for a class. my colleague, a chemistry teacher, marked my paper. in total, i got 17/50

i did section A, mcq questions, properly and scored 13/20 *wheeee* not bad for someone who last did chemistry in 1996… and didnt do any bit of last minute revision *grins*

the section B and C….. *doo doo bee doo*

before you get the wrong idea and report, let me remind you that i’m not making fun of any student… cos the answers are purely whacked out ones from a non-science teacher (reads: me). plus, the paper has already been done by students many many hours ago and are being marked by teachers…. hence, it is not a breach of confidentiality *winks*

*gleee*

perhaps i shall ask my second sis, who is a chemistry teacher, to let me try her school’s mid year exams science (chemistry) paper.
