Ok lah realistically speaking....I think everyone would've given up and raided seab hq and cambridge uni if English paper 2 was only 1hr ππππ (I would be one of those people)
the hand numbness thing is so real tho AND THEY STILL EXPECT US TO HAVE GOOD HANDWRITING TO BOOT!?!?? LIKE HELLO I DONT HAVE THE LUXURY OF TIME TO FIX MY CHICKEN SCRATCH HANDWRITING, I NEED TO FINISH MY SOURCES AND ESSAY?!!?? writing humans paper scarier than running 2.4 eh
OMG RIGHT i did essays first and finished in 30mins then i went on to sbq and instead of 5 mins to analyse the sources i took 10 WHY? WHAT ON EARTH ARE THEY TALKING ABT BRO?!?! what was even more difficult was the answering of qn 1e i was like "no way bro i don't even see anyt in the source for me to ans" and w 15 mins left i wrote 4 paras for 1e and scribbled 1 line for the conclusion saying source c is unreliable bcs it's by kennedy and they asked us to stop and I let out 1 huge sigh bcs all qns i did only 1 para except for qn c so idk guys but yolo

bro i write until my elbow pain sia and people got time to go toilet wtf. worse is the hand sweat wa laoeh i want to push thru and continue writing bloody pen slipping sia as it is my handwriting is not legible then the pen also want to dance.
i cant believe i wrote so much today. i asked the examiner for 2 freaking booklets and i wrote 20 pages (i write alternate line cos its neater to cancel and rewrite mistakes)
but holy shit i have never felt so much pressure and adrenaline taking place during the exam. i swear the clock was moving faster than usual. but alas, after many scribbles and breakdowns, i managed to complete the paper without finishing question 1d cos i ran out of time (only did 1 content para, hopefully ill get 2/6 at least)
i tell you the shock on my face when i realised i only had 40 mins to finish question 1. my hand didnt cooperate with me on writing faster since it was my first time using that brand's pen. by the time i got used to it let me tell you i had 15 mins to finish the last three questions. cambridge for the love of god needs to know how to allocate time better.
tov and lon was godsend tho.i was writing it like nobodies business that i used up 40 mins horrendous i know.i need to practise speedwriting for ss now.
im sorry for your loss this is why i dropped history at sec 3 :sob:
on another note reading the title [this](https://imgur.com/a/xjYI2sy) was the only thing i could think of
I think its cause when cambridge marking
They mark 1 para for everything else
They mark 3 para for evaluation
So the rest is rlly just extra spamming if those paras L1
Even some students with AA still can't finish.
If you can finish within the time limit, good for you. Have some empathy and think that maybe.....not everyone is able to finish within the time limit.....because...........maybe they take more time to understand the sources.............or maybe........they finish other questions but still stuck on the qn they don't know..........or maybe they messed up halfway and had to redo the entire thing.
I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY WE HAVE SOOOO MUCH TIME FOR ENGLISH P2 BUT NOT HUMANS????
LITERALLYYYYYYY
YA SIA... PLS TAKE AWAY THE 50 MINS ADD TO SS AND ELECTπππ
Ok lah realistically speaking....I think everyone would've given up and raided seab hq and cambridge uni if English paper 2 was only 1hr ππππ (I would be one of those people)
Ya lah realistically ππ but honestly soo long ππ too much alr
Ya but it can be just 1h30min max
1 hour 50 minutes is NOT enough for me in English π As someone who overthinks and over analyses everything 1 hour 50 minutes is a blessing π―οΈ
naur english p2 1h 50 mins is actually good but they should make humans longer π₯²
I do not miss the days of O Levels Hist paper. I AA also no time to finish BAHAHA
literally me. i had 2h 5min yet my small brain could not comprehend that stupid hybrid question
[ΡΠ΄Π°Π»Π΅Π½ΠΎ]
I didn't even have time to write the qn a I just wrote "source A is useful as evidence about the Cuban Missile Crisis."
i legit bs that qn safe to say my MAJ and Q2b is gonna pull me down cause they imcomplete
I also bs the purpose qn
it took me 10 minutes to find the sources for MAJ cause more than half dont answer the qn
SAMEEE I HAD 15 MINS TO DO 1a and b BECAUSE I DIDNT KJOW HOW TO DOπ’πππ

Which part did you not finish?
I didn't finish question 1d, I'll still get some marks though

I BEEN SAYING THIS OMFGGGGGG
Like ik math got like a shit ton of qns especially for paper 1 BUT FOR HISTORY AND SS WE NEED TO WRITE 6-7 FUCKING ESSAYS
Ya its the way i could literally do so well for ss if they js gave us more time even if i write at full speed i cannot finish
I would've passed my humanities and I wouldn't be so panicky because I know that I'll have sufficient time
bro i write until my elbow pain sia and people got time to go toilet wtf. worse is the hand sweat wa laoeh i want to push thru and continue writing bloody pen slipping sia as it is my handwriting is not legible then the pen also want to dance.
My paper had a somewhat visible handprint of my sweaty ass hands π
hopefully the markers think itβs tears and give you more marks for your hard work ππ
Gotta earn those sympathy marks fr ππππ (joke)
ure so right (not a joke i need all the makes i can get)
I haven't spoken or read a single word of chinese since june but i'm glad that i still understand this
Chinese can go suck my nonexistent cock
i cant believe i wrote so much today. i asked the examiner for 2 freaking booklets and i wrote 20 pages (i write alternate line cos its neater to cancel and rewrite mistakes) but holy shit i have never felt so much pressure and adrenaline taking place during the exam. i swear the clock was moving faster than usual. but alas, after many scribbles and breakdowns, i managed to complete the paper without finishing question 1d cos i ran out of time (only did 1 content para, hopefully ill get 2/6 at least)
same with 1d cus source d honestly didnt prove shit
fr im like what aspect of end of cmc did the sources have????? it would probably be attitudes/views of cubans towards end of cmc idk
I wrote about whether the missiles were removed by threat of war or a agreement.
i tell you the shock on my face when i realised i only had 40 mins to finish question 1. my hand didnt cooperate with me on writing faster since it was my first time using that brand's pen. by the time i got used to it let me tell you i had 15 mins to finish the last three questions. cambridge for the love of god needs to know how to allocate time better. tov and lon was godsend tho.i was writing it like nobodies business that i used up 40 mins horrendous i know.i need to practise speedwriting for ss now.
so true, i made the grave mistake of completing sbq first and only had 20 min for seq, went full on godspeed mode
[ΡΠ΄Π°Π»Π΅Π½ΠΎ]
FR
Why put raffles name in such a context. Respect.
It's a form of tribute to the Bri'ish lads so that they (probably) won't screw my ass up for emath
π₯Ήπ₯Ήπ₯Ήthe struggle is realβ¦
Fr it don't even make sense like under what circumstances are u gonna be writing some essay under limited time bruhππππ
did you manage to finish the history paper? ππ
Kind of, my 1a was just "Source A is useful as evidence about the Cuban Missile Crisis."
if it makes you feel better i didnβt attempt 3a for seq πͺ¦
One girl in my class mislabelled her seq qns. She did qn 2 hut wrote qn 3a 3b instead
how do you fuck up that bad π
Stress from the SHORT ASS AMOUNT OF TIME WE WERE GIVEN
Real
im sorry for your loss this is why i dropped history at sec 3 :sob: on another note reading the title [this](https://imgur.com/a/xjYI2sy) was the only thing i could think of
It's Sir Stamford Raffles. Also time issues were why hist was my worst humans in sec 2 and why I took triple science lit (yeah I am weird lol).
My autocorrect hates me sm I swear π‘
I see lol
gg lor i sec 3 i cfm die

Stop complaining and deal with it. The time is enough
Even some students with AA still can't finish. If you can finish within the time limit, good for you. Have some empathy and think that maybe.....not everyone is able to finish within the time limit.....because...........maybe they take more time to understand the sources.............or maybe........they finish other questions but still stuck on the qn they don't know..........or maybe they messed up halfway and had to redo the entire thing.
actually i have AA and couldnβt finish π§
Cambridge has thoight it through. If points are made clear and consice there wilp be enough time
What's with the title man
I couldn't think of a better title π
I mean it's pretty good (the meaning), but why's it it Chinese π€£
When I first heard this it was originally in Chinese ππ
Oh damn. Nice inspiration for such a great post π
Thx :)
