Exam is Over!

I feel like it is just last week I went into the University until I realise that time really flies. My MBBS Phase I Part A exam had just been over yesterday. Well, sleeping late at about 3 a.m. and wake up around 7 a.m. for a few days had made me sleep so early yesterday night and wake up late this morning. Well, I would like to describe briefly about my exam.

On Monday we had Paper 2, which is similar to Paper 3 on Tuesday. They each have one long scenario which worth 60 marks and two short scenario costing 30 marks each. There are also short answer questions that gives you a total of 240 marks. So, each paper has a wobbling total of 360 marks.

On Wednesday, we had Paper 1. It consist of 96 questions with 5 statements each. We just have to answer true or false but a mistake cost you 1 mark. The scariest exam has yet to come. On Thursday, we had our OSPE exam. OSPE stands for Objective Structured Practical Examination. Here, we have two parts. One part is a 40 stationed test with 1.5 minutes to each station. The other is a 12 stationed test with a time limit of 5minutes per station.

The whole exam is 1440 marks and it contributes 30% to our result. Also, for my last conass, although I failed anatomy by scoring 46 marks, I manage to score an overall of 222 marks. I am quite happy with that already.

Secholian Crisis

Soon, during December, our beloved residential college, the Tuanku Bahiyah Residential College will undergo partial renovation and two blocks namely Block B and Block D will be closed down. Therefore, about 50% of the resident will be relocated to other places. Luckily, I was quite active in the college. As mentioned before, I am in the organising committee of the 13th GACC. Also, I am in the committee of Academic Development and Internationalisation. Thefore, I was given a place to stay although we have to share our room with three other people. We are given the chance to stay gladly due to the kindness of our seniors who gave up thier chance. Finally, I hope my continuing stay in this college will be a happy one.
