The Final Exam

Starting from 16th of April, 2012, comes a destiny-challenging fight of destiny in which the students from high schools across the nation battle to determine their fate: to pass, or not...

This is where in every year, the battle is fought in six different subjects: with three being Math, Indonesian, and English, and three being the different subjects depending of the high school's major...

It is called....

FINAL EXAM

(cue an epic intro music)

Yup, it's the final exam for me and my friends at school. It was a "four days full of destiny-determining fight", and we had a very great experience in this... Me and my friends had our ups and downs in getting through this. The only things that worry me are: Do I Circle This So Neatly?, and Will I Get The Score Above 5,5? Well, only God who knows the answer, and OUR FATE will be announced at 26th May.

In this blog, however, I'd like to review what I've been through. Expect the shortages on sentences here, but I really want to make it really quick and painless, so maybe I'll start this immediately.

BASIC RULES

Before I go with the subjects, things to notice are:

- Unlike last year's Final Exam, the "Packet" given to the students are different in each subject. So, if in Indonesian you got the packet A, the next subject has you get either packet B, C, D, and E. Additionally, some of the questions are different for each packet.

- The questions are much tougher compared to the last year's (2010-2011).

- Your fate's determined in this way: the Final Exam score contributes the final score by 40% while the rest is the Report Card's scores. You get to pass the score 5,5 and not below 4.

REVIEWS

Indonesian - The first day of the Final Exam pitted me against the local language. Notorious for the questions which require us to read through 500+ words of story or whatever, I tested my "Indo-Sense" here. I used my logical thinking to get through those, and some of the questions were quite easy.

English - The second day's first part was this. Despite English is my specialty, I had difficulties. Some of the questions' choices were manipulating, thus forcing my brain to think harder. The Listening section was quite relaxing though, and I love the female's voice.

Physics - This was the second day's second part. Some of the questions were horrendously hard, unforgivingly, like hell. So hard, I had to fight through it and when everyone left, I was still there, circling the un-circled answers, though they were dotted because they were my guesses, since I had doubts for this.

Math - In third day, Math faces YOU. Notoriously known for hellish questions, the questions need a Math Master's Discretion. We were having troubles, but thankfully we knew the concepts of each questions, so I hope that we achieved our best.

Chemistry - This Fourth day first half was a bit relaxing. Some of the questions were easy, but need an extra care handling the formulas for each subject. Our memories on the subject's theoretical questions were also tested in a way never done before since last year.

Biology - This Final Exam finale was tough, I have to think harder considering that I didn't studied Biology last night before the day came and focused too much on Chemistry, but thankfully the short-but-precious 30min break helped me remember the things needed in this test.

With the Final Exam reached the end, the only thing we're anticipating now is the results, which will determine our fate of continuing our journey towards the success or stay here in disgrace at 26th May 2012.

Al-Hasra High's ALAXII+ SQUAD (The 5th Generation), AND OTHER 12TH GRADERS AT THE SCHOOL, WE HOPE THAT WE CAN PASS THE EXAM TOGETHER WITHOUT ANYONE BEING LEFT BEHIND!!!
