Same-Old, Brand-New…Exam dilemma.

Hey guys,

I just thought of what to write. Since this is an exam seasons for most of students around the world, I’m gonna share some of my exam experiences with ya. Here’s how it go…

ARRRGHH!!! I can’t breath, can’t sleep, can’t eat, can’t sit, can’t shit, can’t stand, can’t pee, can’t wee (enough!) …something big blocking in my tummy. Exam! Exam! Exam!

May - FSLC 1999:
About two months before exam:
So mad’m, my points reach enough for this essay? How many choices can we make in section B? Any tips and tricks writing 5 essays in Bio? Result of dominant over recessive genes cross would be…I think crocodile is under reptiles…

Sir! Could you explain me again on this problem? Which law shall I use? Boyle’s law or Charles’s law? Maganet move faster or stronger as you increase the distance? Horizontal velocity of ¾ momentum throw would be…

Mad’m do you think the ghost forced hamlet to take revenge on the uncle? I don’t think it’s fair to let him die. Kindhearted and fearless Androcles, he had no idea how his act of kindness over the poor lion will save his life one day… So that owl really predicted the future of young Mark…wonder how it called out his name…

I think this compound would oxidize to give out yellow color and sweet smell ashes. My chemical equation not balancing yet, I think I forgot to add one hydrogen atom in left side.
Integration is reverse of differentiation so I replace x with power of 2 rite? Am I missing something in this standard deviation graph? Which method is the shortest to solve quadrative equations? Probability of 2/5 would make up to… how many tallies again? Gosh I missed count, get the mode first.

Hey shall we swap your 97 Bio paper with my 98 Chem? Can I borrow your 96 Maths paper for a day?

2 weeks before exam:
Are you still up? I saw the light, it’s almost 2, better sleep gal. Yah I’m half asleep, half awake, don’t worry, I slept in the evening.
Harrrrr no time to do dishes, I’m still half way with my chemistry.
Dad! Help me with my maths!! And my physic too!!! Don’t sleep yet, wake up!!

On the morning of the exam:
Don’t save any lunch for me, I don’t feel like eating. I think I want to pee but it won’t go eehehee!! I don’t know where I place my protractor and my calculator not working! RELEX!!! GO NOW!!! Okey okey! You don’t need to shout! Gosh mom!

30 minutes before exam:
Humm…hum…humm…dee…dee…darr…darr…(looking here, there, everywhere, gazing) Hey you seem so calm, got everything set aye? Sitting so relax with no book in front, with a set face hah? (On the stage) Hmmm may be…just clearing my mind, don’t wanna jumble up my brain. (Back stage) boom! Boom! Boom! Gulp glop gloop gulp gulp!! Tick tock, tick! Tock! (Siren glinnnnnnnnnnnn!!!) Time!!!

After the exam:
So how was it? What did you answer in that question? Hmmm ok I guess…hey don’t wanna discuss about answer, done it already, can’t change it, better not know right or wrong, otherwise have to think and feel about what you’ve done. What done is done, I’ll get the result later and I’ll see.

Mom I’m hungry!! How was the exam? Hah? Oh yah, fine. What just fine? Harr I answered all the questions, that’s all. I’m hungry!!!!!!!!

About 3 months before exam:
Look at your sis, behaving very well, every wed she say prayers and fast, have you ever done that for once hah?
“…………”

She sleeps late and set up an early morning alarm, we don’t need to say anything, have you done that once hah?
“…………….”

Wow she meditates and “padee sate” everyday, what a clever daughter, have you two done that ever hah?
“…………………”

She preparing herself very well just need to control her nerve well enough, she’ll be ok. “……………..”

One month before exam:
Beep beeeeeeep beep taee teee teee beep! ARRRGGHHHH what the hell! What’s that noise?? Stop yelling, your sister’s alarm, you get up too. OH MY LORD!!!! I thought her alarm at 5am, it’s only 4am. Well she increases her time of early morning study. WHATEVER! My time is 7:30 so I’m sleeping.

Why is the TV off today? My fav show coming. Your sister reading and she off the tv. WHAT! She can read in her room, we gotta watch TV anyway. NO OFF IT!!, MOMMYYYY!!! (a yell from mom)
Crap! “…………”

Lar lar larrr dee dee darr darr…SHUT UP!!! I’m studying!! So what? I can’t even sing or talk loud these days! As if we have to be mute whenever you studying! You never be quiet when we are studying. DAD!!!!!!! (a yell from dad)
Damn!! “…………”

Who mess up my old books and papers??? Your sister was looking for the past papers. Why can’t she put other stuffs back properly? All in a mess now. The whole house covered with her books, in the room pile of books, on the table heaps, living cover with her books, dinner table packed with her books. Why cant she organize her study one then another so that all those books and papers wont flying around everywhere! Well she’ll clean that later, or you do it for her, you should help her you know that?.
Oops! “…………….”

Ring, ring… what, again? Who calling you now? How many times you been calling this, that, txting this, that, too much noises…I never use my mobile that much. Wasting money, when I was in secondary, I don’t even have mobile. You too much! DADDDDDDD!!!! (a yell from dad, she just calling her friends to discuss about exam stuffs, don’t bother her)
Whatever!! “…………….”

Two weeks before exam:
Gosh this is 2 wks before her exam, she cried 4 times already cos’ she got doubt with some questions from old papers and her teacher didn’t explain well…at home dad up whole night studying, explaining her. She follows his work and study there. She set her alarm to 2:30 am not and she slept at 12am, what in the name she doing I don’t know. Don’t ask me! Me nor my brother has done that. We not that crazy as her.

I’ve already missed my fav TV shows for many weeks now and can’t even talk near her. Just wanna kick her!!!! Arrrrrrrgggggghhhhhhhh!!!!!!! TOOO MUCHHH!!! I was planning to take picture of her books and papers everywhere in the house.

She studying that much and still nervous rack. Told her, I was so calm and cool with my exam and if she worry too much, she’ll forget all she knows, and she yell at me ‘SHUT UP’ then mom and dad would follow her and yell at me again ‘BE QUIET’ .
GOSH! “…………………”

Next week is her exam, think about how she acting these days. Every little thing she got stuck or doubt, she cries and call our daddy, mommy. If me and my brother make some joke out of her, she’ll yell her head off and followed by some shout from the other two.

Well out of all, she is very smart, she top the class, she got highest in all the subjects, she got 1st all the time, so yah she study hard and she deserve it. Me done my exam with ease and got above average grades. My brother done his exam with laze and he even beat me in some subjects, wonder how he did that, stupid, lazy, good for nuttin brother using all my books every year and getting better score than me!! Well now left with her. I’m sure she’ll be ok with her exam but she so nervous and sensitive and can’t control her emotions, she CRAZY. I just hope she doesn’t forget everything during exam and cry her head off just for small mistake.

I wish her all the best for next week exam. (The faster she finishes with that, the faster we’ll be free with her CRAZINESS)

BEST OF LUCK MY SISSY. Make us proud…
