Are you in sl or hl physics? rant to me about how the exam was please
SL. I don’t even know where to begin…
The thing is that I studied a lot of physics during revision and did a lot of past papers so before the exams I was nervous but I thought I would do okay atleast. I think I will get relative good marks on Paper 1 but paper 2 was impossible. During the reading time I looked through the questions and I did barely know where to start. Most of the questions were “calculate” questions and had little to do with physics. The questions were also very strangly worded and just hard to understand. I started to cry when there were five minutes left and I continued crying in periods the entire day.
I have never felt more hopeless and worthless after a test. You know how everyone tells you as long as you do your best everything will work out? Well I truly did my best during revison and also during most of the course and it was still not enough. I couldn’t stop beating myself up until I realised that maybe my friends and I were not the only ones destroyed by the test. Now I have talked to more people and seen petitions were over 10 000 people have signed because they thought the tests were unfairly hard and not really in line with the syllabus. I don’t know what it means or if it will change anything, but atleast there is stil hope.
