My entire school flipped the paper over to the SEQ portion when
they said "your time begins now," and a collective gasp echoed
throughout the auditorium.
I expect 21/25 for SBQ section, and 5/25 for SEQ question.
Did the bonding question, because out of all the three topics of
which I studied none, bonding seemed like the one that you could
bullshit your way through with general knowledge and common
sense.
I await SBS N SMRT's sentiments on this.
Though I was not surprised Venice didn't appear as an SEQ
question, I WAS surprised that Globalisation came out in place of
Healthcare/Population. Globalisation came out for 2008 and 2009 N'
Levels, and now it has come out for 2009 O' Levels.
On the bright side, the ones taking their O' Levels next year
know that Venice is 99.9% coming out.
Here i comment
The paper in overall was acceptable, manageable
For SEQ: After i flipped to the paper, see no venice, i took
aback for a while, stunned for a moment. After i scrutinized
the paper, found bonding question acceptable. However, Q2b is
tricky, "social cohesion" is something you need to link back
to.
For SBQ, i am not surprised that this kind of qns came out,
predicted that it will be new.
Q1.a. Inferences - Should be manageable
1b. Similarity and Differences
1c. Usefulness - First state what the source is saying + 3
CR(s) (Optional) + Purpose (YES its useful)
1d. No CR needed, for the support, D support partially
without deliberate, E wholesale support
Overall'
SEQ: 17/25
SBQ: 15/25
Total: 32/50
