NUS Semester 1 AY 11/12 results

So... Gonna be blogging about my results which I just received this morning. Don't read on if you're going to be all judgmental and ngeh ngeh why this guy so lame put his results up online. 

If you're looking for a module review, go here.

So once again this year,  I was plagued by a restless night and weird dreams before the release of my results via SMS in the morning. I woke up at 6 and couldn’t really go back to sleep (results typically released some time between 7-9)  and had weird dreams like one in which I checked my results and I got an A++(doesn’t exist) for one module and a C- - for another so didn’t know whether to feel happy or sad.

ANYWAY. On to the results.

GEK1519 - Science of Music

Predicted Grade - B+
Actual Grade – A-
Thoughts:

Whew, I survived the bell curve. It was no secret that this module is highly competitive because it’s such an easy module that it’s quite hard not to get a good score for the tests if you studied just a little bit.

While both tests I only scored around the median/mean, I think my essay / MIDI probably pulled me up (worked on both from the start of sem… so had a lot of time for improvement and stuff)

Overall satisfied with this grade of course, because I expected to S/U it (if necessary) due to the high competitiveness. Yay still have 3 S/Us!

SE1101E: South East Asia - A Changing Region

Predicted Grade - B+
Actual Grade – A-
Thoughts:

Kinda expected grade, considering how my CA was already not bad (A/A- average) so it would take a major screwup in my finals to drop it anywhere below B+.

(I almost did.. if you missed my Tweet previously, my finals question 1 was: ‘imagine you’re giving a lecture to aliens… ‘ and I ended my essay with a reckless stupid ending: “… and as seen, the region is a dynamic and changing one which you will not be used to, so please don’t invade us!”
Guess the marker liked it. Lol.

PL3236 - Abnormal Psychology

Predicted Grade – B-
Actual Grade – B+
Thoughts:

My mid terms did pretty badly, so I was not sure how I was going to fare for this. The gf damn leet, she got A for this! Her midterms was good also la. Glad I got a B+ at least instead of a B or worse.

PL3233 - Cognitive Psychology

Predicted Grade – A-
Actual Grade – A-
Thoughts:

To be honest I was expecting an A for this, because my mid term tests were both pretty darn high! Like I would think A+ range. Thus I was slightly disappointed when I didn’t get an A for this, meaning my finals probably got about B or B+ level. Oh well.

PL3240 - Group Dynamics
Predicted Grade – B+
Actual Grade – B+
Thoughts:

Mid terms did badly but project did relatively well, so I was expecting an average grade for this. Kinda hoped I would get A- for this at least, but I guess B+ is good enough.

Overall…

No real shocker in terms of grades or anything like last sem's SSB2216... everything was more or less close to my prediction (besides Ab Psych, which was just me being pessimistic so I wouldn't be too disappointed)

Hmm I initially believed my grades were better than last sem and yet my CAP still dropped. However after checking last semester’s grades, I realized I did exactly the same! Same CAP as last sem, but overall CAP dropped because my first sem’s CAP was higher than both sems.

Hope to do better next sem! I want to pull my CAP up!
