Exam Fever

Exams! Exams! Exams!
Who created exams? Who ever thought that the best way to people was to test how much they could cram? Well, what can I say, we have exams, and they are here to stay.

Exams in QC were a different phenomenon. Over the years, not much had changed in terms of competitiveness and determination, and also the befriending of the relevant teachers. Not quite sure the extent to which the later worked, but then again, who knows?

During exam time, prep time was that little bit quieter, classes were fuller. Some people could handle the pressure, others not so well. People started to compare speed of reading.  Questions like 'how much of Ababio (Ababio was the standard Biology text) -  have you read?' 'Can you remember the names of the elements?', some people came up with acronyms to help, others formed the parts into songs, others crammed, and others attempted to devise the most cunning cheating method.

What can I say, the exam periods brought out both the best and the worst in people....and the worst thing after writing exams is...you guessed it...the waiting period for the results!
