Post-test Syndrome (綜合病癥)

Dear 4D,

First, Congratulations to those who worked hard and got satisfactory results - as you sow, so you reap ! Sympathy and encouragement to those who worked hard but feel dissatisfied with the results - where there is a will, there is a way ! Big alarm to those who didn't try hard but still got "not bad" results - opportunities don't knock twice ! Whipping to those who didn't work hard and got bad results - no pain, no gain !

Anyway, the first term test has just gone and the first term exam is approaching but some of our 4Ders are suffering from an epidemic -- the Post-test Syndrome, which is commonly found among teenage students who are not determined or perseverant enough ! Some of your symptoms are as follows :

direction goes missing suddenly
concentration in class seems losing control
hard work at home disappears
even English lessons become boring
hard lesson given by Joe Chan fades away
words still speak louder than actions

Dear 4D, if you've got 3 symptoms or above out of 6, you're in critical condition !! The new curriculum is like an uphill battle which requires tough soldiers who can fight for themselves till the last minute, so are you confident that you can be one of the survivors in the end ? I am here giving you help and guidance but you are the ones who need to equip yourselves for the battle !

Remember the motto we chose for our T-shirts ? Be Dynamic --> keep moving and never stay still ! ARE YOU READY ?

*** Everyone in 4D with odd class number please express some of your opinions about your preparation, tests, test results or reflections here in no less than 100 words. The title is "After the 1st Term Test,..." Those with even class numbers please be responsible for giving feedback to your fellow classmates. Remember to give your full names and class numbers at the top of your writing and the due date is NOV 12. ENJOY ! ***

    I think I haven't done really well on my preparation . However , I have practise and practise to push myself.

    On the day of the English test , I didn't have a good timing to do the test paper, especially comprehension.

    At last , my result is too bad !!

    I think I have to improve my English to the best of the best.

    It's not just for the school examination. The target is to get a good result of the HKDSE.

    No pain , no gain ...

  4. After the 1st Term Test
    Lui Hang Hing,No.13

    After the 1st term test,I have received all the test papers.I felt disappoint and upset about my result.I admitted that I have not prepared well on this 1st term test.Also,I have let my mum down too.

    Therefore,I think I should reform my attitude,not only the test or exam time,even the ordinary time.I think I should review all the things even the daytime but not only the test or exam time.

    At last,I really need to improve my attitude and I should have a good time management so I need to have a good timetable to manage my time.I can have more sparetime too.

    P.S.:Do we need to find you and practice our poem?

    It's important that we should build up a time table in the ordinary time .If you can have a good time management in the ordinary , you will have it in your tests or exams too . As the above reason , you will have good result .
    Generally ,attitudes are the positive or negative views of a person, place, thing, or event-- this is often referred to because of the attitude object. Dynamic which is the word chosen to be printed on our class - shirt .I think there should be a goal on it - Everyone in our class being dynamic in our ordinary life .

    Fortunately, I haven't got too bad result in this term test but I could say, 'Thank to the God.' All of the luck was given by the God.

    Before this term test, I hadn't studied really well, such as I couldn't study all the things in each subject. Do a reflection now, I find that my most important weakness is that I would be lost when I got to my home. It just as what Miss Chan has typed above 'hard work at home disappears', alothough i am not really hardworking in school.

    After I have found my weakness way, I am going to improve that. Just like what our principal has said,'上課留心 即日重溫'. It means I have to be hardworking in school, also in my home. Maybe no one would know that I am being lazy at home but I would be clear all myself. I have to do well in school, also at home!

    Time management is also very important due to I am already a F.4 student. Being a WSC F.4 student, I must be very busy. And what I need to do is setting up a time table. And I can accord this timetable to do the most things in the shortest time.

    Treating of the time management, It refers to efficent. And I also have to do the job in effective way. All the jobs shold be done by a dynamic heart.

    'It's not what you say, is what you do.' I remember that it 's a part of lyrics of Sweetbox's 'Life is Cool'. The words would not still speak louder than actions. I hope i can follow the outline what I have just typed above.

    It is upset that I also did badly in the test like Lui Hang Hing and others.I agree to Lui Hnag Hing that we should review our works at the ordinary time,and we should also have a good time management.It is good to make a timetable for ourself,besides we can use our lunch time and our spare time on reviewing.Moreover,we should pay more attention in our lessons,so we do not need to use too much time to read all the things once again.And it is important that we should get enough sleep before the test or exam.If we do not keep our spirit in a good way during our test,it is impossible for us to get a good result.

    Lim Yuk Ting,Evan NO:11

    I really tried hard,but not paying all my effort.I think i can get a better results.
    I always fall asleep on different lesson,like Chinese ans Chemistry,because i do my homework or even read book at late night.I suggest that all of the classmate in our class should start to plan a most suitable timetable for themselves,because that will help you a lot on studying.

    Refering to what Siu Fan said,I think revise for the lesson everyday is also important.It;s nessary for us to warm up and remind our brain the knowledge we have learn everyday.

    Hey,all the 4Ders should not loosen our watchfulness to the coming exam.Lets have a better prepare for exams,tests and HKDSE.We're the one who have the control for our life.Carry ON!

    Yip Chun Ni , Jenny No.17

    In this 1st Term Test , I did really badly. And I just want to improve my English to the best as I can.

    I think most important thing is a good habit!!

    A good habit that means , after school or in the holiday or weekend , we can have a planning for ourselves to study and prepare.

    Not only do our homework every day and then play and play and play! We should have more time for reading or study although relax is also important for us.

    However,we only have 24 hours of a day. 5 days of a weekend,we stay in school to study for 8 hours and 6-8 for sleeping,30 mins for dinner,
    ...... and then how many hours for study? That only a little. Therefore,we should use the little
    time to study.

    From now on,I think I should have a better habit for a day!! Dose anyone agree with me?

    I definitely agree with Haniny, Siu Fan and Evan’s viewpoints. ‘Near holds the Buddha foot anxiously’ If you don’t work hard in your daily time, you will never get a good result in your test! I also get a dissatisfying result in the test. However, I think I am so collapsed that I failed my X2 subject---Chinese History result! I had promised my parents that I could handle both History and Chinese History when I was in Form 3.

    As same as Haniny and some 4D classmates, I did badly in the test too. I am so regretful I was very distracted in the X1 and X2 lessons before the test. Although I never fell asleep, I always chatted with my friends from other classes. Sometimes I wanted to be absorbed on the lessons but I couldn’t avoid the enticement.

    ‘To take precautions before it is too late’. We also have to work hard in our daily time too.

    Lai Kit Yan No.05

    I think my 1st term test results are acceptable but can be better. I think we should find out a study method that is suitable for ourselves. For each one,we have different method of study,if we find out the most suitable method of study,we can get a better result. Every method of study should be flexible, also we can reform it if we find out there are something can be better. After we follow our own method,all of us can have a better result.

    After those three years in Wong Siu Ching, I think I have improved during those tests and exams, but I have to change my attitude. It is because I was playing during my life in form three!Too Bad~

  14. Hi all,

    To sum up after reading some of your reflections, it's obvious that ATTITUDE was the culprit in most of the cases ! Some of you didn't have good self-discipline while some others could not manage your time well due to distractions like computer or TV. What about the others ? Com'on and share your opinions as you got only 2 days left !

    After see the classmate attitude,I know that my hard is not enough.Also,I know that I want to set down the timetable of my work and distractions.But I think it is difficult to follow it.It is because sometime hard to do,than I will want to give up.
    Moreover,I have a problem is I am not vitality in morning,but I am very vitality at night.In the morning and afternoon,I am hard to concentrate,but I am not tired even though I do my work until 2 or 3 o'clock.So I think it is difficult for me to set the timetable,and I never set timetable till now.Therefore,I don't know which is the best formula to set the timetable.
    I know that this term my result is really bad, leave so many day and hand in my homework late.(I am very sorry about that,but I am not purposely.This is really my ability problem and I always want to do my best in my work.I know that I talk with you about that problem so many time.Also,I know actions speak louder than work.But I really don't know how to control it.Therefore,please please please forgive me.)But now I really try my best to concentrate in the lesson.I hope it will be better.

    In this term test,most of my subjects' result is
    very unideal.The reasons include that i maybe spend too much time in recreation.The rest of spare time is no enough for my study.


    To be honest,if I spend more time on revision everyday and pay more attention on the lessons ,I will not want to review those subjects again and again. I consider that i should try harder and get a better result next
    time.


    According to the above classmates' speech,i also
    suppose that time management is very important because it is related to our result definitely...

    you said After the 1st term test,you felt disappoint and upset about your result.
    I think many people also feel as your feeling.
    Don't be upset! We can start pratising more now.

    I have realised my problems after the test.I think I can't focus to study before the test.
    Althought I have tried it , I can't focus!
    What's the problem?
    You will think that the X1 &X2 subject are very easy.(Some will think it is less things to remember.)Also, the main point is the Chinese subject. It is because there is no things to remember.Therefore , the questions are very difficult.
    Hope that we will do better for the following exam.

    After I read all the comments above me, I totally agree with them.We should set up a timetable to plan on all the things.Therefore, we won't be rush before the test or exam.Moreover, I think we should not spend too much time on entertainment e.g. watching TV, playing computer games...etc. It waste many time.

    Back to my test result, I am extremely disappointed.When I receive my test paper , I am so upset .Although I studied very hard before test,I still get bad result.I am so unhappy.I discover that I am so careless in every subject.I always read the question wrongly e.g. my x1 history, I read worng question in my essay part ,the question want us to write about The Bosnian Crisis but I don't know why I write the answer about The Balkans War- -.It is so terrible ,I lost many marks.

    All in all, I should plan my timetable.During the exam, I should use the time wisely and read the question carefully!!!

    Although my test result were not very good,I think the result can encourage me .It is because this result were higher than I thought before and I hope I can do better next time.After the test,I really wanted to change my X2 subject to chi.history.The reason was not about the result,it was about me.I can understood the concepts about GEO but I cannot not use my own sentences to write them down.Therefore,I need to remember all Engish in the notes.It was very difficult.However,after listening different teachers' advices,I think I can handle it better.
    I think if I study more,I will make it easy to remember.

    Same with part of my classmates, I'm adynamic and upset because my 1st term test results are undesirability. Therefore, I agree with Kathy that build up a timetable to help our study. But before to find out the way for helping our study, I think we should build up our confidence of each subject first. When we have confidence of a subject, we will love it and have a power to study it. So, if anyone get a bad result in this time, don't be disappointed, we have a chance on Jan,2010.Let find your confidence and do better on the 1st term exam!

    After the 1st term test,

    After the first term test, I feel relax, as I finish my first exam of high school finally. Although I do not have a really good result but I had already tried my best. Unluckily, I did not prepare my X1 and X2 subjects well. So, from now on, I am going to try my best to study these two subjects and work harder!
    The other problem that I am facing now is that there are too many homework and projects to do, as I do not have enough time to my revision or finish all my homework and projects.
    I hope all the students in class 4D can get a better result In the first term exam.

    After the 1st term test and all the test paper back, I think that I have gotten a not bad result, and also a not good result. It’s because I know I had not tried my best to do the preparation, I just study before the test.

    I think a good preparation is start to study before three weeks. If we just study before the test, we will not have enough time and will not get a good result, just like me at this 1st term test.

    Hope that I can do better and better at next time, the 1st term exam, also hope that I can really do that.

    Knowing my result,I felt happy as I was still having a not low result.Actually,it's still far away from my target.Compared with the result last year,I can see that my result is worse than last year's.

    I am wondering that is the problem laid on my study method?I think I was used to it,to do the revision the day before the Englisg test.I never think it's‘Near holds the Buddha foot anxiously’ ,I know myself.I know that if i make preparation so early,i will forget most of things.Should I train/change myself?please give me some comment or possible method.thanks a lot!

    I think I can get a better result next time since I got a lesson that we should study early from this time. We can prepare well if we have enough time to study by heart. Of course, I will try my best next time~

    I have the same problem on my study method.Although I passed the English test,I knew I could get better result if I had used more time to improve my grammar such as my worst part - conditional.I repented my thoughtlessness when I got the test paper form Miss Joe Chan.However,it's useless.As a Form four student,we should know stupid student finds evasions,clever student finds solutions.Sometimes,I will forget most of things I have learned in the lessons too.I really feel upset but I will try once again until I am confident in using English after this test. I think you have heard "Roma is not built in one day" and "Practice makes perfect",they will not be outdated because all students need them even adult.
    For this problem,I recommend you read the blog write by Karen who is Joe Chan's daughter.The title is A few words from Karen to 4D . I agree with her that we should listen carefully no chatting no daydreaming in the lessons and take detailed notes at home.Luckily,we still have time so let's go into action and change our all together now!

    ‘Do you have confidence in the Chinese test paper?’ my friends asked me. I probably answer ‘no’. It is because I have used most of time to watch the first article and understand the content. And I do not have enough time to finish the second article.
    Anyway, it has already passed. More test and exam need to strive so I have to study harder.

    Before, I didn’t know that why I have to work very hard, I couldn’t set the target. But after this month, we listened some lectures, I start to find my target and I felt really happy about that.

    After the first term test, I felt a little bit disappointed to my mark,especially mathematics.

    In english,I had used a lot of time to revise,I had remembered all the words from all articles.But I didn't know that it would use the original articles.Even now,I still remember the meaning of those words.And I felt very miserable in condition,I had lost many marks just because I had not used IF to begin the sentences.
    In MATHS,my score was low,I knew it before I saw the test paper because I hadn't done nearly nothing before the test. For me, I thought the score was okay.
    In LS,after the test, I knew that Mr.Leung was good at teaching LS.Our class's average LS score was high not because he marked the paper lax, it because he taught us excellently ,so we can learn LS better.
    And one thing I thought I should revise everyday or weekly,I should not review just before the test.Ah an other thing Ishould do, was to distribute my time better, it really important for me. If I had distributed my time better,I would have done better in this test.

    before i write this comment, i have read a lot of the comment and feedback.I think although test result is very impartant,but i think we do not feel negative if your result is not good.You should study hard more,make your classmates surprise.If your result is good, you should be modesty,and help some classmates who need help.
    It will make 4D more dynamic,good relationship between 4D guys.
    In other hand,i think the classmate who is sick should not go to school, you must stay at home and reat more.And if you feel a little bit sick, you can wear mark,there are many mask in 4D, and they are sold $2.although you is so expensive,For everybody, you should Maintain good personal hygiene.
