I have no qualitative reasoning skills to speak of, and every single A Level question has to boast of one such question to shake my confidence. So my expository responses come out superfluous or not answering the question, and are barely rewarded too.
Been spending what seems like my entire life on Physics and Chem, trying to kid myself that once I stabilise these I will move on to Econs. In actual fact I'm putting off studying Econs while still reveling in disgust over my Prelim essays. Too early to say anything yet, but when it comes to Econs its easy to fortell the future. But then again, I'm clutching on to my thin thread of hope.
I've acquired a sense of admiration for teachers after listening to horror stories about how much they have to mark. Handing in Chem papers 2 and 3 seemed scary enough. I can never see myself devoting to the teaching profession, don't have the patience to last that long.
Speaking of which, the psychometric assessment was..amusing. I apparently don't think with my senses and don't use my right brain. I guess it just means I'm really dumb. Actually sometimes I do wonder why I'm wasting my time trying to apply overseas when I'm not even sure I can secure a good enough A Level cert.
