High School Life In India

After and Before [ Part I ]

This one chapter is about the anxiety after  and before the exams...

When you first hear the word exam it's like hell has broken out and all the stress does not make it enjoyable at all, who will feel like enjoying after hearing such a dangerous word anyways....i surely won't. But there might be some who really love giving exams...right?

No...i am not talking about the students... ofcourse not, i am talking about our dear teachers and all the people related to give education in our country...they really love giving exams, no?

So first let's all talk about before exams anxiety....

Before exams there are three things that you would do (don't know about others but i surely do this) :-

1. I look at the exam dates...

2. Ask people for syllabus...

3. I look at the heavy and fat books that i didn't read the whole year but had already decided to complete them in 1 week.

These are the only thing you need to know i won't tell you about my secret art of YouTube studying....

Well...that is that but weirdly enough we don't get enough holidays to study in our home...our school ends at 2pm and than there might be some who also go to tution and stuff (which i don't and if i started at this subject than there would be another chapter)

There are also different kinds of students you will get to meet between this period.

The first one, who have studied the whole year and knows their stuff by heart and can tell you all kind of knowledge even if that is not in the syllabus.

The second kind, who always have one 'mantra' going on a tape recorder...and that is....'i didn't study shit" but we all know that they have already rote memorized everything.

The third one, these kind don't even know what is in the syllabus and i don't think they even care... but the thing is they also open their books at the last day before exams.

Then there are the fourth kind, those who do not study at all because they have tricks up their sleeves which i can't mention here because *cough* i don't want to spoil their plans..

But you would have seen those miserable ones too, those you took pity on because they fall ill...*sigh* it's really sad...

But moving on...our next topic which our teachers again..

They don't make it easy for us, you know...all the while telling us that they had made the the exam paper like eating chocolate cake, but we all know the truth and i won't and will not elaborate on things you might find toublesome because of your past traumatic experiences.

Then...there comes another refreshing yet not so refreshing event in our country...since the COVID bro was making havoc in the world, our government decided that it is better to take exams in two terms..

The first term, where you will have to grab all your luck from all the gods which are known for luck, for me it's Ganesh...so the exam papers come in the form of multiple choice questions....and i thought wow! Just wow...i am so lucky... definitely very lucky...that what i thought before i got my results....they were such a disappoint to me that i just....for once thought that there was no such thing as raw luck...(but i believe there is, because i have felt it)

Look, for me...i don't like mcqs at all,

My reason?

Simple,

They have 1 question and 4 answers, teachers made them so that they all look the same and matches with the question...so my question is which would be the real answer and which is fake, it's like playing detective games.

The Teachers think that their answers are right while i think that mine is right, while the book states a different answer and the last one is just a joke.

So in conclusion, i hate MCQs.

What i liked was our 2nd term..why?

Because,

That one was subjective...means you could write your answers, no choosing and stuff, just a question and your answer which could go as long as you wish and as short as you deem it necessary.

And guess what? I got better marks in the 2nd one in comparison to the 1st one.

I am cutting this chapter here... because i am shameless and i want my story to have many chapters....
