We are
tested all the time in so many ways. Who really finds test taking fun? In the
process of being tested, not many would describe that as ‘fun,’ but in
retrospect anything can be fun!
I was remembering
the days I spent in India
having to take tests, or as it was said there writing exams. In some ways the process of test taking in India was similar to my experience in U.S., and in
some ways, much, much different.
The
preparation was very similar- staying up long nights previous to the test-
cramming and memorizing all the rote facts and figures. But, the real
difference was the day of the test- the logistics and the mechanics of doing
what needed to be done. That did prove to be different. For a foreigner without
training ahead of time, I think I made it quite well through my course,
especially since I made First Rank!
If you’d like to know what is so different- and FUN –
about those test, read Test Taking Trials and
Tribulations in India, a post from my
other blog, Study Abroad Chronicles.
Until you’re next test, study well!
