Nightmare of a test.

L!m is nuts. Seriously, he is. We got a paper he set today and it literally blew us away. 25 questions, 20 objective, 5 structured. 5 marks per correct objective questions, -2 per wrong objective question. Yes, it is possible to get a negative total. We have a choice, finishing all the objective questions will give us 100%. Or we can try the structured questions for 30 marks each. We can get a grand total of 250 marks out of 100, any extra over the 100 point goes to our bonus.

Sounds easy? My arse. That was one test where studying or not wouldn't have made any difference. He let us bring a cheat sheet (half an A4 with anything we want to write on it) in and proudly declared that it would be useless. He was right. Having the textbook beside us wouldn't have helped much either.

The questions were hard in a non-conventional sense. Its like the whole paper was set around the 'million and one things you didn't know about dynamics' theme. Its obvious that he ripped them off a book. And one of the questions actually had the cheek to to tell us that it was hard and that we might want to skip it.

Near the end of the class, he said "Don't copy your freinds la. They also all guessing." He knew that we wouldn't be able to do it. He just knew it.

I'm not sure if i want to laugh or cry at this moment. My friend got so pissed that he crumpled his cheat sheet and flung it at L!m. I almost could guess that L!m was going to do something like that, so I didn't really study that hard. Heh.
