Screwed up my PA, as usual. Failure. At the moment I got back the paper, I was not dare to look at the marks. It''s an abnormal phenomenon because I use to be a confident person, student and teacher. But I really dont have the confidence in PA. I dont like the subject. I tried hard to make myself to study PA but it failed. PA toppled me.
My science and maths are ok. But sadly, 1 failure is enough to drag me down to the pit. "Come on ! It is only a monthly test! Take it easy la" This was what I heard from my friends. It slightly comforted me but I think we should face the music - monthly test reflects your performance in real exam.
I keep asking my friends, "Why should we study PA?" The answer is obvious. I live in Malaysia. I pursue STPM.
The students in STPM have restricted options. We must study PA.
I cant see the point of studying PA as an exam subject. We should know all the policies and national structures, but should they appear in our exam paper? I dont think anyone will remember the "facts" after the test.
Fail education system.
Back to my exam paper, I had my graph perfectly plotted. Sadly, I left out a "MALAYSIA : " in the title. Straight away, 8/20. Is it fair?
The answers are all scheme-based. Out of the scheme, out you go. I thought
Pengajian Am should be a flexible subject. Sorrowfully, I was wrong. Your answers must follow bulat-bulat as what was printed on the scheme. Even if your answers are right, if it's not in the scheme = TIDAK RELEVAN (0 marks)
Does a doctor require PA knowledge? Does an engineer require PA knowledge?
I cant see the point of studying PA.
I can blame no one. I can only blame myself because some of my friends did really well in the exam. I admit that I did not put my fullest effort in PA. I deserve it.
It appears to be my biggest challenge in Form 6. I must face it myself. No one can help me, except myself.
How am I going to help myself?
