Am a bit ashamed to reveal the score but let’s just say it’s in the mid twenties. I actually had to copy the stuff I hadn’t done into a text editor, and give them line numbers. Of course I can’t say what they are.

***

My gay male friend was telling me about some new developments.

Him: “I only wanted to talk and watch movies and cuddle!”
Me: “Hmm. Yeah..”
Him: “Then after that I didn’t know if I should have said anything.. but isn’t it natural that you’d want to know what the status of the relationship is like after all that?”
Me: “Erm.. no?”
Him: “I was just so happy to look into his eyes..”
Me: “You’re such a lesbian.”
Him: “You’re such a gay man!”

My handwriting is so bad. I don’t usually pity myself for that. But during an exam, I always hate myself for the lack of legibility.

“Government instability” becomes “government lustability”.
“Income parity” looks more like “income panty”.

After about 14 years of examinations (continuously), I’ve come to notice that no matter where you are or what school you go to, people are always reacting in the same way right before an exam, and you have to stop yourself from strangling them.

There’re those people whose brains seem indefinitely lodged between their cheeks, and in order to think they have to talk. They take it upon themselves to recount the entire syllabus in minute detail, so much so that I’m sure if the text had included a photograph of what researchers were wearing during an experiment, they might just say “yah and then Stanley Milgram was wearing a tweed suit when he performed his experiments on obedience.”
Key characteristic: female.

There’re the question-spotters. “So what do you think will come out?” “Well, institutionalization came out for last year’s exam right? I think the identification questions will be.. and the essays will be on presidential systems.” You know, those people who seem to somehow know what questions came out for the last five or ten years (I can’t even remember what my midterm was about! or where to find past year questions! or what the importance of past year questions is!), and who have formed some kind of spiritual bond with lecturers, such that they can tell with foresight what will appear in the next 5 minutes.
Key characteristic: female.

Worst of all: people who like to discuss questions and compare answers after the paper is over. If you’ve got it wrong, you’ve got it wrong. If my friends all got a different answer, I like to think that it doesn’t mean I’m wrong. And there’s nothing anyone can do about it after the fact! So stop yakking into my ears!
Key characteristic: female.

It goes without saying that the female toilets before and after examinations play home to all these types.

After every exam, my arm always seem in danger of detaching itself from my body. Today is no different.

  • I’ve got sixties…
  • Now I’m all proud to say I scored 47%, does that make me more of a puritan than some or more debauched than most?
  • milo: I wouldn’t have expected anything else, really. :)
  • Shouldn’t the goal be to get “0” ?!!!!




    Excellent blog!
  • milo
    I haven’t gone diving, bungie jumping, broken a bone, burnt my house down, been arrested or raped anyone; and my score’s already 23. My mother would be ashamed…
  • imma saint! i’m in mid 30s =D
  • w.
    What I never understood is how people can go, “eh, what did you put for question 24? Did you put B? I put B but X and Y put A and Z but D! How?”




    And I just sit there staring and wondering, what the fuck was question 24?!





    (Btw I’m in the 20’s for your silly purity thing too. Hrm.)
  • rumple
    Meh, I’m female and don’t see the need to define things either! But then again, I’m not exactly straight.. ; )
  • Man, purity tests always give me a false positive. As in, I may be in the low teens with this one, but it isn’t because I’m entirely whoreibble. I just try a lot of things once, you know? I feel so maligned by these ingterneck standards of decency! Bastard!




    As for the exam behaviour, you know, I’m very cynical about those things. I’ll always instinctively know what’s coming out, not because I’ve studied past questions, but just because I’m an effort maximizer that way, you know?





    Oh, who am I kidding, I’m a dork.
  • yes, not just a man, but also a gay man. like if you don’t want to tell me first, then i don’t want to know.. unless i really like you. which isn’t always the case. :) apparently i was supposed to be a boy, was scanned as a boy in every single ultrasound, but somehow popped out.. not one. wonder if that has anything to do with that!




    Tym: oh yeah, forgot about the comparing marks thing. but at uni we don’t get that much, since all the checking is online..
  • really? but don’t you have that gnawing feeling of having, wanting to know?




    he’s right, you know; you’re such a man. lol.
  • Tym
    Amen to everything you said about types of pre- and post-exam behaviour (I agree with kite that guys do it too). Drives me nuts! Much less of it at my American university, although you still have some nutjobs.




    At least in Singapore, we seem to gradually outgrow the rabid comparison of marks after tests/exams are returned… or maybe I just learned to tune out the comparisons.
  • kite: maybe. :) i guess i just don’t see the men at all.




    masqueraded: urm. well, because with some people it’s better not to know, not to ask?
  • Him: “Then after that I didn’t know if I should have said anything.. but isn’t it natural that you’d want to know what the status of the relationship is like after all that?”




    yeah, why wouldn’t you wanna know the status of the relationship after all that???
  • kite
    All the exam reactions and “key characteristics: female” –

    I’m sure it really is because you have your attention on females. Because the males irritated me to no end with their question-spotting and text regurgitation when I was in school.





    Gotta admit though, that it is generally the girls who compare answers after the paper. I wonder how they do it, I almost never remember what I wrote after I step out of the hall :)
  • Still suffering? The end is nigh ;)
  • Um.. I got.. something in the 70s..




    The exam types are rather true. I’m more of the “oh dear stop talking already let me die oh wait there’s another paper tomorrow” type.
