I must’ve been bored or something, but I’ve created a level system specially for the upcoming promos to see which level I have reached in my promos preparation.

Chemistry/Physics

Level 1- You’re a Noob. You haven’t read your notes even once yet and can’t say for sure if you can even get a D. Needless to say, you haven’t had much practice in your work.

Level 2- You just started on your quest as a chemist/physicist. You have finished your notes once and have looked through all the definitions once. You have a fair chance of getting a C or a D

Level 3- You have progressed much. You have had much practice and had constantly referred to your notes when you have encountered difficulties in doing questions. You can do most of the questions that are posted to you now. In the worse case scenarios, you’ll get a C or a B. A high B to an A range is expected if there are no screw-ups.

Level 4- You are an experienced chemist/physicist. You have so much practice that most if not all MCQs can be done within a minute each without any problems at all. You have such thorough understanding of the subject that you do not need to even refer to your notes at all. Marks can range from 80-90 (for people who finish the paper). You are certainly qualified to be a teacher or a tutor.

Level 5- Godlike. You can flip through the TYS as though you are looking through primary school papers. Any attempt at any promo paper would yield no less than a 90%. The 10% that you didn’t get is probably a result of your speed or errors in the answer scheme. At this level, you would probably own the top in level of any school of your choice. Your knowledge of A level physics is on par with the HOD.

Mathematics

Level 1- You’re a Noob. You have totally no clue as to how to start most of the maths question and can only hope to console yourself when others fail worse than you.

Level 2- You have started on your exploration of the wonders of Maths. You have an impression of what formulas you need to know and how to apply them. You also know the approaches to solving basic questions. You have a fair chance of getting a D or probably a C.

Level 3- You have progressed much. You know your formulas by heart and have more exposure to problems. You can confidently do all your tutorial questions and get them right. You have a good chance of getting an A and even during screw-ups, you can still secure a B.

Level 4- You have thorough understanding and enough exposure to do challenging questions, even under exam conditions. Speed is certainly not a problem to you as the answers to most questions simply appear so blatantly you don’t even need to hesitate before penning the answer down. Under exams condition, your mark range should be from 80-90 plus, depending on the individual and the questions set.

Level 5- Godlike. Any paper would yield no less than 90. The possibility of a full mark is always existent and that is your goal for every paper.

Economics

Level 0- You are a total noob, not even comparable to level 1. You have totally no clue as to how to even start an essay or even do data response and case study questions. Even luck can’t bring you out of the U grade.

Level 1- You have some knowledge of economics principles. You have a rough understanding of how to plan your essay. You can also answer some data response and case study questions. Luck might pull U to an S or even an E grade.

Level 2- You have started on becoming an economist. You have finished your economics notes at least once and have looked through the definitions at least once too. However, your understanding of essay writing skills is still not perfect and you might also have an incomplete grasp of the content knowledge. You fumble between S, E and D. If you are unfortunate, you simply get pulled down to a U.

Level 3- You have reached safe grounds. Your content knowledge is solid. You know the techniques of how to answer data response and case study questions. However, despite knowing, you might still not answer appropriately at times. You have good practice of essays and have also exposure to guide books and so have some idea of how to write an essay during exams. However, you are still unable to escape from the claws of time-constrain. C and D is your base-line. You are capable of getting a B depending on how the situation goes.

Level 3.5- You are in between levels 3 and 4. Your content knowledge is pretty good and you can score well in data response and case studies. Your writing speed is moderately fast but are still unable to finish 4 essays in the given time and are trapped at level 3.5. Your essays lack the analysis and evaluation that you have either no time to write or have no ability to write. You fluctuate between a high B and a borderline A

Level 4- You have supreme writing speed and good knowledge of content. You can write out essays confidently and immediately at the sight of the questions. You have enough time to do some analysis and evaluation. An A student without a doubt.

Level 5- You are the god of economics. You have great foresight and can write essays as though you are just penning common sense on paper. You are confident of what you are writing and are possibly prepared to debate it out with your econs teacher to get every single mark possible from your essay until he awards you the full marks that you feel you deserve. Truly a god.
