Exam

Exams are the time when every students wake up from the long sleep, which common people call it Kumbakarne nidai and those who are infected from science call it hibernation. Exams are those frightful nightmare which loosens the coolness of the coolest guy and punkness of the punks.

Talking about a normal student, say a student like me who is currently studying in class twelve at the moment has already faced about seventy exams, excluding the surprise tests and those stupid class tests that teachers take and never return the papers. But still this examphobia never disappears. The first term of class XI does not have any effect on my life and neither will it have and neither will the first term of class XII will have any effect. But still this stupid thing on the left portion of the body beats so hard when it hears those deadly four letter words. E-X-A-M………..

The poorest time on the exam hall is when you’ve done everything you know from the papers, you start counting marks and circling the questions you don’t know. And suddenly you realize you have already done questions of sixty marks out of seventy five in an hour. And a second later, you realize the marks you had just counted were the marks of the questions you didn’t do. There are circles around almost every question and now blank goes the mind. You again start counting marks you scored to find out you have just attempted questions of about fifteen marks. You try to look to other friend’s copy simply to discover he has already left out the hall;may be in depression.

Another huge problem in exam hall is when the invigilators come near you and start to see what you are writing. Now if there is anything stored in your head, then no matter how rubbish it is, everyone is going to write. But the worst moment is when invigilator comes to you and looks at your paper and since the brain is totally empty, you have to act as if you’ve just forgotten something and you look out of the window as if there are answers hung by birds. And usually students prefer to bite pen at this moment.

The last half an hour is the most hopeful moment for any student. It is the time when the one who has already lost hope of passing in exam, discovers a new soul in his body. Now what actually makes this thirty minutes the best time for every students is because of the fact that even if the invigilator snatches your copy, then too there is no loss at all because you have already poured every drops of knowledge, you know in those papers. So every student has a bold soul and becomes a military of say Alqueda and attacks at the answer sheets of others.

And as the exam is over, you walk out of the exam hall, counting every possible marks the teachers can give such as even if you have written in numerical, only the words like: Here, Solution, We know, Given, Now, According to questions……. These are the most famous words and needless to say, Who can neglect the word: etc.?? It’s such a lifesaving word.

When you reach home, your mother asks you how who were the exams. And you reply gently. “The questions were damn easy, I wish I had more time. The time was just not enough, otherwise I will have surely topped the exam.”
