The Plight For An Examination

Although examinations strengthen our personality, they are an evil dream for me. Examinations make me tremble with fear. The desire to play with my friends, pass time disappears as soon as I think of examinations. I have to suspend all my pleasure seeking activities, stop going down to play with my friends and totally forget about watching movies or television.

I am only allowed to talk about different concepts from different subjects. During examinations, I have to study with the door pf my room closed when the rest of my family is in the living room watching television. The night before the commencement of the examination is horrible. I start thinking about questions and question paper. In the morning I pray to god before I leave for school. As soon as I climb the bus I feel that I have forgotten almost everything I have read. My heart beats faster as I reach the school premises and even faster as I reach the examination hall. If the question paper appears to be difficult then I get even more nervous, but if it is easy i start solving the paper right away. Sometimes in this case also I find myself not satisfied as I cannot complete the paper on time.

After the paper while discussing answers, I hope that I at least get a B+. When the results are to be announced, I nervously walk towards the teacher. As she hands over the paper to me, I try not to see my marks until I reach my table. I know that I will have to listen to all the unhappy remarks if I fail to complete my target. It only happens once in a blue moon that I get a A+. For me fear and exams walk hand in hand, exams are like fear for me because my plight for an examination never ends.
