Its been a long time since i blog. ah, yes, 5 whole days... The reason for not blogging lately is that i have been mugging for the past 3 days. yes, MUGGING. mugging for my driving exam(written part only)... it is so easy and yet so difficult. It is easy because the test only consists of MCQs, 100 MCQs, with 100 marks in total, so all you need to do is just to click click click.
It is difficult (in fact, it is damn difficult, i feel) because you need to get at least 90% to pass the exam. Failing to do so will need to retake the exam until you get 90, and you have to make further arrangements and pay extra fees each time you retake. Another thing is that, the 90+ MCQs are randomly chosen from the 1300+ sample questions given before hand, and the rest will be questions that you have never encountered before.
So, i went to take the exam this morning, with only 1 day for me to familiarize with all the contents in the textbook, 2 days for practising the 1300+ sample questions. I was really not very confident for this.
The whole atmosphere of the exam just wasn't right for me. First, the majority of the candidates is adults, mainly middle-age men and women, only a handful teenagers like me. Second, the exam hall is quite big, with around 100 candidates. Third, the exam environment is not very proper, with the examiner shouting at random times, and smells of cigarretes kept on disturbing my respiratory system.
I have no choice but to bear with all these distractions and try to concentrate to remember whatever that i have read or learnt. With 45 mins for 100 MCQs, i finished them in 25 mins, meaning that i have 20 min for checking. After i have checked the 100 questions and corrected a few, i counted that i have 16 questions which i am unsure of and this would most likely mean failure for me. I was left with only 5 mins then, with the timer blinking, urging me to submit the score.
Under the timer's pressure and thinking that i could do nothing much to change my fate at that point of time, i submitted my score. I held my breath and waited... unexpectedly, another window poped up, wth, i thought that there was virus and i had to redo or something... but no, the window was there to make further confirmation to submit my score.
I clicked, "是". and for this time, i don't have to wait any time, my score just appeared immediately on the next page.
