.. that the rush for good results will almost inevitably stretch relations between classmates and friends to breaking point?

Or is it an outward expression induced by the pressure-cooker environment that we all live in?

"Some of you thrived, whilst some of you bowed under the pressure." (Remedios, 2009 - prior to return of Physics)

Just what is a "good" result? Should we be overly fixated on the grade that we just chuck aside everything else and become slaves of your own creation?

There are only 30 odd days left. Time to put aside the disappointment and try to learn from others who have scored better. And also for us to reflect and work on our weaknesses.

For me, its a struggle to keep my thoughts in tandem with question requirements for written papers. For the sciences and maths I still could not comprehend how I could have did so badly in the hall when the questions themselves were mostly doable outside exam conditions. Maybe its the lack of practice? (although 2 years worth of prelim papers and revision packages later the grade remained stagnant.)

Can't help but stifle an ironic smirk when I typed that. Give me the O's anytime man.

This is a situation which we students get drawn into every semester. Is it a unique phenomena that only those under our 'meritocratic' and 'progressive' education system and pedagogy will experience?

One last hurdle, and all these dilemmas and ill-feelings will be consigned to history for eternity. All the best (:
