Yes, funny I should be blogging about it, especially this around this time. PMR isn't over yet, the first day was just over an hour ago for us. But today all of us learned a very important lesson.
Today's papers were BM 1 and BM 2. Then at 2 something the Melayu students had Agama.
Ok, after BM 1, we had a 20 min break. The school provided us with some food and a drink, (thank you PIBG), and while eating everyone was reading komsas notes. The prediction was that for Bahagian D, (novel question) they would ask us for the plot of the story Meniti Kaca( Form 1), Pahlawan Pasir Salak (Form 2), or Panas Salju (Form 3). Why did we predict they would ask the plot? Because we looked through the past year papers, they asked moral values before, theme, main characters... but the only thing left that wasn't asked was the plot. And thats what everyone thought, they will ask us to write the plot for either one of the stories. Little did we know how wrong we were.
Its like our English novel question. They could ask ANYTHING. Moral value, plot, main characters, synopsis etc etc... are the most common we see in revision books. But in PMR, ANYTHING could come out. "Name one character you would like to be friends with", "If you could change the ending of the novel what would it be", "Which character did you find the most interesting" etc etc. And no revision book can write down all the questions PMR could come out with.
Same thing here with the BM paper, its just that everyone was so sure that the plot would come out. One person would say so and that person will tell another person, and then the whole Form 3 starts reading about the plot, and only the plot.
So in the exam class, we were pretty confident about the novel question, and when we looked through the paper we realised... "uhh ohh..."
Instead of coming out with what everyone thought it would be, they asked something else. See... they can ask anything. Make you read something and then ask another. They asked only for the Form 2 novel, Pahlawan Pasir Salak, and thats the least favourite novel among the forms. The question was, give 3 examples for this moral value. And honestly, I didnt read the Form 2 novel... because, yes, I was so sure that they were gonna ask for the plot as well... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. How wrong we were.... how wrong we were.... sigh.
So now... the important lesson of today is
READ ALL THE NOVELS FOR FORM 1, FORM 2, FORM 3 AND WHEN SOMEONE MAKES A PREDICTION FOR WHATS GONNA COME OUT FOR THE NOVEL QUESTION... THINK TWICE BEFORE BELIEVING THEM.
*OUT*
