Jap Prelim Results

10 September 2008 @ 09:11 pm

I got my results for Japanese Preliminary Exams today. Is it dismal or not? That remains to be seen. Here’s why.

AWESOME~

When I received my paper, I had gotten 71.40 out of 100. I was so happy! I never thought I would be able to get an A2! Here I was, thinking of nothing but the worst, and… I did it! I really did it! So I really had the ability to improve! I’m not hopeless! Hooray!

You have to see where I’m coming from. I was never really good at Japanese. This year, my test results were quite bad. In fact, I was on the verge of failing. Sure, I might not be the worst in my class, but it was only a matter of time, because those who couldn’t take it would quit eventually. This prelim result is really a turnaround for me.

Anyway, Sensei said there shouldn’t be any marking errors, because the teachers spend a really long time marking and checking through those papers. Double HOORAY!

We went through the answers. And… 意想不到的事发生了。

There were marking errors. I lost 1.5 marks, which brings the score down to 69.90.

Question is, will they round this up? They might not. They might just send this score to the school and give me a B3. It’s not like I’m complaining about this (a B3 is still… passable?) but I want that A2. This is the score that will be used for the whole year’s worth of studying Jap. And the fact remains that a lot of people in my class scored A1 or A2. Just let me scrape by? Come on, that’s not so large a compromise, is it? It’s just a 0.1 mark gap, for goodness’ sake!

If they don’t give me the mark, I’ll… I’ll… I’ll cry T.T

No. I’ll talk to whoever’s in charge MYSELF.
