Exams.

13.07.2010, Clear

You know how studying for major major exams is always different from the kind of study you do for the not so major ones ?
like, the difference between me during the last 2 weeks to A levels, and the me for class tests. Not the best example, but you get what I mean.

Well now, its like my studying is not even at that for class tests. I'm not saying that I'm not attempting to study or what, its just that I feel so, lost. And directionless. I have no freaking idea what are the points you have to focus on and all that, and this is worse than IBM, because at least for IBM, i had that one set of MCQs from the formative. For CBI? Nothing ! On top of that, her revision lessons are crap, because she just spends them looking at the notes and trying to find questions to ask us. (Note, I said trying. She doesn't even bother to prepare questions beforehand? Seems like she doesn't even know what she's doing.) And in the event where she finds one, she demands an answer from us. (Any wrong attempts are responded with sarcasm.)No surprise why I dread her lessons.

Anyway. That's not the main point.
What i want to say is, that it seems that the gravity of these exams are not sinking in. I mean, not that I haven't acknowledged their importance, its just that, I kinda got a shock on monday. The cover page of the question paper in front of me read - ' Honours Degree, Year 1 Term 1 Final Examinations.', requiring my bradford student number and everything. And the OAS didn't even have the MDIS logo anywhere on it, just University of Bradford.
It was a surreal experience. Something like, thinking you're going into the examination hall expecting a 'Preliminary Examinations H2 Chemistry' paper, but the script sitting in front of you says 'A Level H2 Chemistry'.
Ok lah, maybe not that kuazhang. Its just that I didn't prepare for it with the 'Final Examinations' mindset. ):
