I love giving exams. It
drains my brains out. I stop eating properly, my sleeps are disturbed and my
whole routine messed up. I lose weight. LOL. That is the story of the end of my
semesters. I have a full time job so I barely go to college and I have to do
self studies. I am not complaining since this is what I have chosen for myself.
( First
a special mention to Lamps, Karnali_Blues, Mercynova, Rahulvai Uncle and Neo
for keeping me company in sajha chat while I was going through my books last
night. If it was not for these guys, I would have dozed off as early as 10pm
and it would have been Irrepairable, so thank you all!!)
Today morning before
setting off for the exams,mum oh how religious!! puts bibhuti on my forehead
and gave me subhasagun Dahi and like
always said “ Jati pardheko chas tyo
bhanda dherai lekhera aaulas” ( I always roll my eyes after this
statement).
Finally
inside the hall, I don’t know anyone, so basically I am on my own. Around 40
students in one room, there was aunty from the bank, who is doing this course to
get a promotion, another dai from army who is also fighting for a promotion to be
a Colonel, Mother of two kids doing her masters to get a degree and so on. Most
of the ladies looked pretty decent and seems studious and were reading the
books until right before the exams unlike me.
I had
no armor, no shield, no weapons in the form of small coded writings on papers.
I am a chicken, I can’t cheat. My conscience doesn’t let me. I sweat like a pig
if I have to. I have no guts to take codes to the exam hall, Never. Anyway when
the bell rang, I knew exactly how much time I have and how much time I have to
give each question. A case study of 40 credits, I ll do it in 1 hour 20 minutes
and rest 3 choice questions each of 20 marks within ½ hour plus minus. And remaining
10 minutes for reading the questions and revising at the end. All planned and
all set.
I am not a
distinction holder but I am smart to manage my time.
Anyway, losing no more time, I started writing my paper. And my fingers hurt, lack
of writing speed and practice. So every 20 minute I took a break for couple of
seconds, stretch and look around who is doing what. Man was I not shocked,
everyone was copying, LITERALLY Copying. One got a big stack of paper inside
her kurta’s falls. Another lady got a big piece of rectangle paper right
clasped between her folded two legs. The worse was the lady sitting two rows
ahead of me, copying everything from her smartphone ( we are asked not to bring
phones to the exam center, and even if we bring we have to switch it off).
Now the dilemma was whether
to get up and tell the invigilator “HEY
THEY GOT CHEATS, KICK THEM OUT, CANCEL THEIR EXAMS!!!”, or sit down
tolerate it and do what I got to do. I studied all night pestering my online
friends to not let me sleep, mugged 3 books in one night, got dark circles and
headache in the morning JUST to pass this exam and here the ladies are all copying
so shamelessly.( Nope the idea of cheating never crossed my mind)
In a “twaaa” state of mind, I called my mum after the exams and said “ Mama, I might just pass but I
have honestly earned it. You should be proud of my B plus grades”. I am
sure she has rolled her eyes this time…LOL.

Bittertruth, I was just giving my feedback to the writer. Are you the spokesperson or is the writer not able to take any feedback? I see you decided to delete your comment. It was not necessary.

I think you are very talented in skillfully putting your thoughts in the words. It's always a delight to read your threads. I think that you really have a potential of becoming a very good writer in future. But, as some have pointed out, I too have noticed numerous grammatical errors in this one as well as in your previous articles. These errors made me feel like "mitho khana khada khadai bich ma dhunga chapaye jastai". But I was too lazy to comment on these earlier. You need to work on your English writing skill a bit especially on your grammar and vocabulary. Please don't take me negatively but instead, I request you to take this as my constructive criticism. I hope that you are able to take positive as well as not so positive feedback. But, as I already mentioned, I find your stories delightful to read.

Efg, Thank you so much for your constructive criticism....I am still learning to write so I know I am not even 4 out of 10 yet. Like I have already mentioned there are ways to deliver things to people..... I am a very peace loving person and I believe in live and let live.... but if a cat tries to cross my path.... I make sure that it is its last time ..... If you know what I mean *grins*

एक्जामको यो सानो घटनालाई यसरी मिठो संग पस्किनु सक्नु नै ठुलो सफलता हो र परिक्षाको रिजल्टको सुखद संकेत हो |
त्यसो त जिन्दगी भरि कति एक्जाम दिइयो कति तिनको लेखाजोखा गर्न एउटा बडेमानको क्यालकुलेटर नै चाहिन्छ होला र पनि कहिलेइ चिट चोर्ने हिम्मत् गरिएन | बेइमानहरुको राजमा इमानले कमाएको अंकमा जुन आत्मीय आनन्द छ त्यो बेईमानहरुलाई थाह हुदैन |
लगे रहो , आम्बी, लगे रहो ..

राम्रो लाग्यो अम्ब्रोजियाको द्रिद्ता मैले पनि चित गर्ने हिम्मत गरेको थिएन तर लास्टमा आएर गर्नै पर्यो| चोरै चोरको जमातमा आफु एकजना सज्जन बन्यो भने आफैलाई घाटा लाग्ने रहेछ | त्येही बुझेर आफुले पनि चित गरियो अनि राम्रै अंक पनि हासिल गरियो | समयको खेलमा समय अनुसार चल्नु पर्ने रहेछ!

I was about to stop reading when I first saw "I love giving exams". But, since I saw flood of comments, thought of giving it a try. (Forgive my ignorance if the writing is sarcastic expression of the majority of Indian subcontinent English speakers) As Seucy and fantush mentioned earlier; "loved the content but not the writing". But, honestly, would love to read more from you. PS: I am a Nepal ko sarkari school ko product who barely scored pass mark on English in SLC exams a decade back.

Ambroisa baini's post rekindle many of my memories. I was one of the "cheaters." I had different innovative way of cheating and one of the best was writing formulae on a big eraser. If somebody sees the eraser and asks for it, the plan was to rub it in one swipe of the thumb as I hand the eraser over. Never came to that. Many would write it in the back/inside of a calculator, palm etc and some would stash a book in the toilet. As I came to US, I realized this epidemic is not as prevalent. The community college I went to had some instances of similar cheating, but the universities, specially the higher ranked ones, had almost non existent cheating going on. One of the big reason could be our education system. We give too much value to the ability of memorizing. Here, most of my courses were open book so what's the need to cheat? Having open book exams require instructors to be creative and ask questions that measure the depth of understanding. I am hoping that schools in Nepal have started adapting to this change. Now some might say even the higher ranked Unis have this problem. Just the other day there was a big news about cheating and grades adjustment in Harvard. Many grade schools here have been accused of inflating the grades to get states grants. I guess the issue is here as well, but I am specifically referring to students bringing a cheat as in this story to the exam hall. It's going to be hard to change student's behavior overnight. Why don't we "fix" the education system and encourage open book/note exam with better designed questions?

Kiddo, Thank you so much for sharing your thought. We can have open book exams once we will have teachers who can creat and evaluate such questions. Lol..... changes are there but in snail pace.
