♥ CHEMICAL HERO??? HA HA

I know I'll screw the Chem test up, just that I didn't expect to screw it to that extent.

My answers are as ho lan as last year's Physics end-of-year paper, or worse. I stoned for god-knows-how-long during the paper. The answers are SO crap I wonder if Sandy's good buddy Hala possessed me. I practically hala-ed through the paper.

My MCQ answers are chosen based on the options, not the question. If you get what I mean. That's what I always do when all the options don't seem to register in my mind. For example, if the question asks what are X and Y, and the options are:

(A) calcium sulphate and barium nitrate
(B) calcium sulphate and potassium iodide
(C) sodium chloride and potassium iodide
(D) silver sulphate and copper carbonate.

And I'll choose B. Because there are two calcium sulphate and two potassium iodide in the answer. This is how you're supposed to go about doing this question: Figure out either X or Y first, eliminate the other two, and then choose your answer out of the two. SO I always make this assumption, this's how the setter sets the paper. And so I always choose such answers.

And 85% of the time I get it right.

It's really true you know. Sometimes you can pass MCQ without even looking at the questions. Just looking at the 4 options and try to figure a pattern out of it. I've tried on TYS before. And it really works. Especially for those options where there are tables and you have to match this to that and see which set of results is the answer. And when you look under a column, A, B and C all show the same results, and D is the odd one out, D is most probably not the answer. And then you look under the second column, A, C and D have the same results, so it means B is not the answer too.

That's what I always do, but only when I don't know the answer to the question. Or I use it sometimes to check back my answers. It's called The Last Resort, or TLR. I never have to use it for Geography, rarely for Physics, but for this paper

I used it for 7 out of 10 questions. Knows how to do 1 question, and can't spot any pattern from the other two. SIGH.

Alright, I'll stop whining about Chemistry.

Head's bursting. Lol. BYE!

Bring on the horizon. I don't have the right to hope anymore.
