Hard test and crazy students
I finished my mid-semester LAW 131 Legal Method test at 8.10 pm tonight and came back home sulking. It was really hard. My parents were scolding me because they always think I’m the only one who ever finds the tests hard. Wrong!
We had to analyse and apply a case so there wasn’t a lot of content to study for beforehand and I did various past tests for practice as well. Unfortunately, it really was crazy hard and I had five minutes left in the end to write an essay. In those five minutes I wrote a brief introduction and two screwed paragraphs of five lines each – I’m expecting a 5/25 there.
Some crazy students from the row sitting behind me walked out of the test room saying how it was actually not too bad and pretty easy. “Yeah I think I probably got a B.” That originally made me scared but my law tutor said they must’ve screwed it somewhere. Even a lecturer in another room announced that it was a very hard test too.
So it wasn’t just me, really. My tutor supervised another room and told me about this crazy student. She handed her test in after the first 30 minutes, saying it was too hard and she wanted to take the last train home. That brought out a “LOL” from me. Too cute. He now refers to her as train girl.
I don’t get the point of setting crazy hard tests and also marking crazy strictly where everyone generally performs horribly bad and you’re having to scale it up more than ten marks in the end. My final law exam from last semester was scaled up 12 marks. I shouldn’t complain about it because there’s nothing bad about jumping two grades but honestly, it’s pointless.
Rest tonight, study for next week’s two tests tomorrow and the weekend. My near-future looks so daunting. But on the other hand, if we skip two months, I have a four-month summer holiday between November and March. It’s great how they just take out a third of a whole year like that.
