As you enter the classroom,
Your teacher asks you to sit down.
You have 30 minutes to review the past few lessons,
Although that is something you should have already done at home.

You shall only grab the finest of pens, one correction tape,
The exam sheet on top of the table,
With no other objects present.

The clock is ticking down,
And as you stare at the fourth question,
Your mind goes empty.

Is it possible to pass this exam when the beginning is already as difficult as it is?
You feel like you are under the constant pressure of the time limit.

Are some questions asked merely to fill the time?
What was its purpose; do you think all of it had a reason?

The truth is, this whole thing is a guessing game.
The thought of failing makes you overthink, but at least you got something right.

Some questions differ in wording, but they could also have the same letter and answer.
It makes you wonder if that was intentional or if you were just wrong all this time.

But by looking into future questions, you now find the single missing piece,
That led you to answer this whole string.
