SERIE A 12 : RESULTS FORECAST

Dear PMR 2010 candidates,

Come Tuesday, 30th of March, you will sit for English paper which some of you can't wait to perform to the best level you can. As a teacher whose barely two-year experience of teaching exam classes, i feel an urge to forecast as this creates more excitement and thrill in teaching you all.

Compared to the exam setting for last year' cohort, this year, you all are already in the real exam setting starting from OTI exam. Your present performance more or less will indicate your true performance in your real PMR exam.The final come October will be held right on the same turf.It will be a great advantage as you will have already been familiar playing for quite a number of games on the same pitch.It is like home game and to lose in home game is a shame!

I think , for paper 2, the highest score for section A still goes to the likes of Aina,Ainur,Nadzirul and the geng as writing skill is something students can hardly acquire within just a short period.All you have to do is not forgetting to include all points given. Besides, minimise grammatical errors the most possible you can.For summary, use table format by drawing fine lines, not so bold as this might distract examiners. Then, make sure you use all the ten words given before adding the following points found in the article. Count each word and write the number of words, say 60 or 63. Bare in mind that the number of words must not exceed 65 as no mark will be given after that. What a waste of time should you keep on writing!Most importantly, find five to six points as one mark is allocated for each point in a complete sentence regardless of your grammatical errors.

Meanwhile, for paper 1, i think the everage score will be around 23 & 24. And the highest will be around 34 & 35. This time, there will be around 15 students scoring above 30. Aiman' AS Roma , Ikhwan , Zahari, Syafiqs,Yusri, Dayang, Iman, Mejjar,Khalis,Dayah,Amirah,Nazifah,Fatin, Tihah,Idayu Z and a few others will possibly reach 30 plus this time.It is hoped the number of those scoring below 20 will decrease to less than 25. Above all, it is just a forecast and remains a forecast unless substianted by facts.And you, my dear students are the ones who can make the forecast real for better or worse!

Those whose names were not mentioned here. Remember what Jimmy Eat World once cried at the top of his lung ' DO YOUR BEST!! DON'T WRITE YOURSELF OFF YET! DO YOUR BEST! DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN!It is only in your head!be focused!

Sir
