Interesting. I've got 30+ upon 60 for Blackout Bio Test. I guess it was the lowest mark in the class, but I couldn't have asked for better. It was a huge relief to pass a test I did not study for (no fault of my own thanks the blackout). Sadly though, it was a test that could've gone my way with studying where 50+ / 60 was possible. However, that'll just show that fate is unfair if I had achieved a high result without studying. So yea, passing the test was already good enough for me here.

For Math Test, I did not study or practice much. That was punished with a 30+ mark upon 60. Again I daresay 50+ / 60 was possible, but this was my fault for wasting my own opportunities. I hope I do not repeat this mistake ever again, no Math Test wiill ever come this easy again.

On a positive note, one thing good I can take home from here is that I can pass without studying. Therefore, there is no reason for me to fail anything on any grounds, let alone after studying. Sure those tests were easy, but without ammo you can't even kill the smallest opponent.

To end it off, something amazing happened for my Chemistry Test. The one day where I didn't play and actually studied for a test, and it was rewarded with a 30/30 which should top the class and level (unless someone can get 31! Haha). If I'm not wrong, this was the first time I've achieved full marks for a test in IB. Sure, there were hints jumping around here and there like in the form of MSN display names and overhearing post-test talk from the rest, but it was a really easy test (it was set as such) where studying will guarentee the marks, so yea the hints weren't really needed. Wow, always feels great to be a first timer for something nice! :D

Nonetheless, I shall not be overconfident, though my expectations have been raised to a higher level. That being said, it'll be nice to be a 45 pointer. I don't think I'm there yet but I think everybody in this school has the potential to be a 45 pointer, it's a matter of how much we want it and how much we are willing to work for it.

Now, I hope I can clear off my IAs so I can come in some clean air.

It's bad when people are hard on you just because you are new.

It's bad when people make you angry and then try to give you advice.

It's bad when people don't realise that their advice will only make you angrier.

Basically, it sucks when people are insensitive (alright, who am I to say this. I've been insensitive to ppls' feelings many times).

Furthermore, it really sucks when your own home ground is against you by having a blackout the night before Bio Test (what a pity. such an easy test but I didn't have the "ammo")

That being said, I have every right to call myself a genius if I manage to pass the test. True, if you pass a test that you did not study for, that must really be something (and Biology is one of those content heavy subjects where a lot of "ammo" is needed). Besides, without studying, I didn't have the "ammo" to begin with so I was basically "using my hands in a gun fight".
