END OF PRELIMS!!

me ish happy, bcos my prelims is finally over!

now i can start mugging for a levels properly. it's not the end, not the beginning, but just the middle of the super longgg journey ahead. (ok about 2+ months, but it's a long time to be mugging non-stop okayy!)

yeah i'll be mugging harder than i've ever had, and probably ever will in my life. i've planned out this whole study timetable and i realised i don't have enough time to do everything xD so i'll be doing as much as i can within these two months. -nods-

Top 10 things i learnt from this prelims:

1. Don't use the computer/Internet unnecessarily. It's a huge source of distraction!!
2. Don't EVER turn on the TV, even if you're just resting for 15 minutes. you could end up watching an interesting one-hour TV documentary on cosplay culture in Japan. in the middle of prelims. yes.
3. Last minute studying really works. But revising normally plus last minute mugging work even better.
4. Sleep. Lack of sleep really does affect your performance during the exam. (so does hunger)
5. Mugging too much can actually cause insomnia!!! and you start having nightmares about being late for exams and getting 0 (for papers that you don't even take.)
6. Don't panic during the last 5 minutes of the exam, even if others are flipping pages and generally being distracting (which usually means they're done). If not you'll start messing up when you shouldn't. T.T
7. Learn to ignore the teacher! >.>
8. Do the paper quickly, but CAREFULLY. don't rush and start missing out questions/making careless mistakes. bleh.
9. ALWAYS check that you have done every single part of each question. better not make this mistake again in a levels T.T.
10. Set realistic timeframes for each topic and subject. it's impossible to finish 21 topics in two hours (but i did in 4 hours. hahahaa)

Sigh. this prelims turned out worse than i expected, especially for chemistry. I just hope my A levels will turn out much better.

im actually starting to find studying fun (i must be going nuts), but it's good for my a levels anyway, so nope im not complaining. it's a really good thing. you should learn to love studying before you can sustain long-term mugging! (add that to the number 11 on the list xD)

in the meantime, i wish everyone all the best in these few crucial months! it's the last few laps of the 3km race, or as ppl like to say, last dash for the finishing line (of the marathon?) but i can relate better to the last few laps of 3km thing. ok nvm gambatte! have a brief respite before mugging full force again!
