Flunked My Maths Exam as well........

One of the worse Maths exam I've had in my life.
It reminds me of my Form 4 days when the Add Math teacher gave us 3 logarithm and index questions for our test.
And the result? I got 14 that time...

Quite a number of us thought that it was an open-book examination like my physics, so when we found out that we can't refer to our books, I was horrified.

The exam began at 11a.m. But after 10 minutes, the teacher realized that most of the students can't do the questions. So she permitted us to refer to our text-book.
After another 10 minutes, the teacher again walked around the room, and found out that despite being able to refer to the book, lots of students still weren't able to solve the questions. So she began to gave us tips..little by little till the whole exam lost it meaning.

Not only that, they were students discussing around and passing answers here and there!! One of the worst exmination hall I've seen.

For me, before opening the book, I could only do 1-2 out of the 10 questions. And even after refering to the book, there were 4-5 questions left which I couldn't solve. In the end I actually circled the answer that were being pass around for 1-2 of the objectives.....

Man!! What in the world is wrong??!! The other class had exactly the same questions, and lots of them knew how to do it.
Some of the students would put the blame on my Maths teacher, blaming her teaching method and so on....
But for me I fell that...if I'd just studied a bit more..if I'd just memorized a few more theories...if I'd just did some more exercise......I could have done better and not disappoint myself, my Maths teacher and face God without shame.......I feel guilty not spending more time on my studies....

But let the past be the past...I'll try to do better next time. This is something I promise myself.

    Your math questions were in korean? I think it must be really tough to adapt to the language, then answer questions in that language. Don't worry.. take time to adapt.. most of the time, it is not that you do not know how to do. Just need some time to adjust to the style and stuff like that.
