| You Are 72% Cynical |
 You're a full blown cynic... and probably even skeptical of these results. You have your optimistic moments, but most likely you keep them to yourself. |

Promo Goals
I hope by now my students have set a good goal for their promo results... I know I have: top 5 in the cohort for 3R and 3H, and top 10 for 7B!
I know that many of you out there are stressed out and really busy, and I'm going to say here the same thing I wrote to my class' yahoogroups:
Life is like a marathon, and through it, sometimes we may feel discouraged or tired; the good thing is, how you end matters more than how you start. So PRESS ON! Lets end this year well!
Plan now and take necessary, proactive steps to attain your goal. Spot your weaknesses and plug them. Work on your basics if you are weak at them. Summarize your learning to key points. Summarize and define the strategies used to solve problems. Use these to make your practice more productive. Balance your equations.
Remember its not just practising a lot, its also practising the RIGHT WAY. So insist on doing your practice properly - proper understanding as opposed to copying, proper format as opposed to poor expression, properly writing out key points rather than have it all in one big mess(and missing out key and marking points). That's whats meant by studying smart. But still lotsa practice is needed for things like, helping with memory, and familiarity so that you can solve problems fast. If your old way of doing things didnt work for you, then you have to do it through new ways! No change = no improvement.
I've been too busy to blog recently yep so sorry for the lack of updates. I'm trying to press on till the end too :) - New notes coming soon.
