Now the G12 MOCKS have finished, it’s time to dish out the AWARDS… (AKA The first superlatives of the season)
Funniest Mistake: Answering all the questions when it clearly says how many to choose and answer
Most depressing mistake: Forgetting the whole last page of the math exam
Calmest study spot: Math pod
Coldest study spot: Red Dot Cafe
Longest exam: History (2hrs30mins)
Best exam snack: Pain au chocolat
Worst feeling: Pen running out of ink after Ms. Baptista has already said “5 minutes left”
Biggest panic: Realizing you forgot to memorize a formula, but you’re already sitting in the exam hall
Best feeling: The exact topic that you just studied for comes up on the exam
Biggest relief: Finally reading the Paper 2 questions for English after memorizing the whole book just in case the question was about the one quote on page 157
The most annoying comment: Being told that you are lucky to have one less exam as an art student, except you don’t remember the last time you had free time, because you are an art student
Most resourceful situation: Using the side of your calculator as a ruler to draw a diagram, because you forgot to bring an actual ruler
Creepiest situation: Forgetting that the rest of the school is away on excursions so you try to find a teacher and only then do you realize that the school is just empty
Most embarrassing: Being name-dropped by Ms Baptista for leaving the exam hall too loudly
Actual best feeling: Sleeping in on the morning after your last mock exam, and waking up to remember that it’s actually over (for like two months)
