Hey, I know it's been a long time since I got online and updated this space... but well, here I am. I might go offline till October the 3rd due to my final examinations.
What's 9303, you ask ? Well... it's the code for the SPM French test. So it is that I just received my past-years' 9303 tests from Jebbie yesterday. I came home and took a good look at the papers. Earlier on, I had a few remarks... Jebbie and Kim Li told me it was just like B1, while my French teacher [just call him DK] told me it was just like A2. So I took a good look at the papers for myself.
The papers were so easy !!! And ridiculously, they had to be completed in two hours and thirty measly minutes ! Any proficient French-speaker would complete them in a maximum of an hour. All we had were a single passage, a grammar cloze, completing dialogue sections and... thinking of what words to say in the given situations ! What was even worse was this : why don't write "10 notes" and end up writing "10 markah" for 10 points ?? Or end up writing "Bahasa Perancis" for "Français" ?? This can't be happening... Make it like real life ; this is my sincere suggestion to whoever sets the paper.
Seriously, whoever is in charge of setting the 9303 paper is making a mockery of the French test. Why can't they set SPM like... B1 ? Or something worthy of the O-levels ? This is so pathetic ! I bet even the least experienced in French-Speakers Unite can tell me this is nothing but waste !
Well... I'd best return the papers to Jebbie when I meet her in school on Monday. Alliance Française [the French Alliance] is in charge of the 9303 tests... if I'm not mistaken. And then again, probably only its students gain access to the past years' papers. And now I seem to have violated the rules. If Alliance Française finds out about this, I am toast.
