Stages of exam

Stage 1: Information gathering
Name did its description. We get to know about exams, collecting the study materials, trying to know what's coming in the exam and convincing ourselves that let's get prepared and to fasten the seat belt.

Stage 2: The preparation
Normal people try to avoid "hard-work" initially and when no other option left except to do study then the preparation begins. Although, it can't be done in one shot so studying sip by sip in several positions, places, ways and sources just to understand lots of concepts, basics of tons of topics and in end just to become a knowledgeable person. It took lots of efforts and strength to stay focused and have consistent concentration in this age of social media distraction.

Stage 3: The D-day
Exam day is like 'Carpe Diem'. Day begins or actually night get over after whole night study. Sun looks brighter that day because we are earlier than him and spend whole night of dark and then that sudden sharp brightness feels too bright for our eyes. A quick revision built our confidence while prediction of questions in exam makes us nervous. A sense of happiness we had because that exam will be finished today and a relief mode begins to come when we begin to create a list of 'things to do' after that exam. At that day, daily routines might be the same but we find some patterns or maybe in rush we felt different with those same chores.  This happens because our brain is more active today than normal days.

Stage 4: Into it
It's pretty interesting journey from writing first letter in answer book to writing last word. First letter comes out with ease and slow, calm movements of hand. We begin to solve answers with as much as knowledge we had about that question. We get panic when we don't know the answer But still we try it because it's the only chance we had to tell what we knows. The clock is like sun in the exam hall. We rotate around it.When time passes fastly we increase our speed and hence in last pages of every answer copy there are jargons. During that exam time we had different scenarios inside and outside. Sometimes it's any chaos in the exam hall, formalities and enquiring for any question from around. Others are pushing yourself to write faster,neatly and  hilariously our brain begins to sing songs and remembering any lyrics or dialogues at that crucial moments. It's quite insane journey.

Exams are  like hurdle race. First we want to complete the first mark that is preparation and when preparation goes over then we wants to cross the next mark which can be revision or reaching to the exam hall on time , as soon as we reach there we want to begin the exam and when we begin that exam then we wants to finish that exam. Even if we reach at finish line we still have eyes on next mark which can be completing the 'after exam list'.

 Isn't the life is like exam? We gather information about our goals, then we prepare our best for it even though we hate hard-work but when the  day came we try our best to pull it off with our knowledge,skills and experiences.

Tell me your exam experiences.
