Post during O-levels (V)

Wow, we're onto the 5th part of the posts during O levels.

I realised I've been blogging rather frequently over the last few days, but this is mostly due to the fact that we are currently celebrating the unofficial end of the O levels.
I mean, with the end of biology and geography, the two most killer subjects, how bad can the rest of the O levels be?

Ok, it can get very very bad. We got Physics, Chemistry and A math left.
To me, these three subjects are not fully content based subject, in that you apply what you learn instead of just regurgitating things that you read from your book. For example, in biology exam, this line should be quite familiar:

During inhalation, the external intercostal muscles contract while the internal intercostal muscles relax. This causes the ribs to swing upwards and outwards. This increases the dorsoventral diameter of the thoraic cavity. The diaphragm contracts and becomes flatter, this increases the volume of the thoraic cavity. The air in the alveoli expands, thus the air pressure in the lungs is lower then the air pressure of the atmospheric air outside the body. Thus, air is sucked into the lungs until the air pressure in the lungs and the air pressire outside the body is the same...
I mean, we tend to copy wholesale in biology exams...

Geography exams have a nasty tendancy to shock you with the fact that you simply do not have the time to write down and explain all your points fully...

Physics, Chemistry and A math is less content based in that you are applying what you have learnt. This means you can prepare for this exams simply by doing tons and tons of past year exams paper.
So, lets make the last push and do our best for the O levels...
