I thought it would be funny if everyone witnessed me being a failure so here's me rating my igcse exams using funny pictures of people. I will edit this after I finish each exam so this isn't currently complete. (keep in mind that these tests are sorted in chronological order)
english as a second language (speaking test/ paper 3)
I will be banned from entering the uk if the examiners heard how much I was stuttering. thank god I didn't listen to my parents and chose speaking endorsement so this doesn't affect my overall score. the questions were so weird. "talk about why you would grow flowers in a school garden for 2 mins minimum" WHAT? my english teacher looked so disappointed in me and I felt terribly guilty because of it.
predicted grade: 75% (and that's if the examiners feel nice)
chemistry (paper four/ theory)
this was... surprisingly simple. even the organic chemistry section wasn't difficult or suicide inducing in any way. the exam was one movie long so I had enough time to revise my answers. what actually irritated me about today is the stupid taxi driver who purposefully took longer routes so that he can charge me (a naive looking teenager who he thought wouldn't notice) more. I couldn't call him out because I was scared of sounding rude. my headphones disconnected during the drive and I was listening to groan by dazey and the scouts so imagine the SCREAMING this man heard. he had music on too so wtv. worst part about this miserable drive was that at the road one street away from my house, he turns around, enters a CLINIC, and goes "here's your destination ;) " HOE YOU KNOW DAMN WELL I DIDN'T GIVE YOU THE LOCATION OF A CLINIC- wait, this was supposed to be about the exam.
predicted grade: 80 to 100% (if im lucky enough, of course)
mathematics (paper two/ non calculator)
if this was supposed to be the easy paper, what the hell should I expect for the actually difficult one? unless the curve is in the negatives, there's no hope for my relationship with maths. god also thought having a period cramp during the exam in a freezing room and when I was revising a difficult topic (WHICH CAME IN THE EXAM) would be a great idea so I psychically couldn't think or do anything. im so sorry but the past years exam papers were third grade level. WHAT is this?
predicted grade: 60% or less
biology (paper four/ theory)
(okay im writing this nine hours before the exams and fuck. biology is one of my good subjects and I spent way too much effort to fail this one but then again, this was the case with maths too and I fucked that shit up. please no period cramp today im actually going to sob.)
the exam was nowhere near as bad as I thought. the question asking about where you would detect carbon 14 using radiation in a random ass plant that had its stem cut off made my brain crash but overall, it was fine. I loved the enzyme questions.
predicted grade: 70 to 90% (not bad)
mathematics (paper four/ calculator)
I'M NOT RETAKING MATHS IN THE NEST SESSION. YAYYY!!! this was easier than the supposedly easy paper even though this required so much more writing and thinking. I felt like a mathematician figuring out the answers to the questions and got a massive ego boost. you might assume that this is because P4 is with calculator and P2 is without but my mental maths skills were something I always prided myself on and I had no problem calculating stuff. problem was, I didn't know what I was supposed to calculate to begin with. anyways, no circle theorems or vectors. god loves me <3
predicted grade: 80 to 90 %
english as a second language (paper one/ reading and writing)
I wrote about why social media is terrible for teenagers (local hypocrite)
(overall, the exam was nice. I finished so early, I had time to form opinions about every person in the reading comprehensions. huge problem is, me and my bff are so interconnected, we accidentally used almost identical ideas in our first writing question. none of us cheated or anything. it was pure coincidence. I hope cambridge doesn't fail us)
predicted grade: 70 to 100%
chemistry (paper six/ alternative to practical)
everyone came out of that exam hall saying "omg that was so easy" and got my ass humbled. I studied for this shit and was scoring good in it. what happened? every single igcse 0620 student was arguing about whether that graph line was a curve of a straight line with the first point being an anomaly and me personally, I opted for drawing the latter. turns out it was wrong. yay. I'm not scoring a nine in chemistry, I fear
predicted grade: 60 to 70%
physics 🖕 (paper four/ theory)
im as surprised as you are. i can finally get away with not knowing what's a motor. im not going to take physics next year (hopefully I don't jinx it)
biology (paper six/ alternative to practical)
might have fucked up the drawing and might have fucked up planning an investigation but it's all good. it's all good. at least the graph was nice.
predicted grade: 80 to 100%
physics 🖕 (paper six/ alternative to practical)
im deeply terrified by the fact that the subject I hate the most is the easiest one until now. I know I should be grateful and all but if I score worse in bio or maths (my favorites), im going to feel horrible.
predicted grade: 80% or above
english as a second language (paper two/ listening)
physics 🖕 (paper two/ multiple choice)
biology (paper two/ multiple choice)
chemistry (paper two/ multiple choice)
