Exam specimens

It's that time of the year again. Examination time brings forth some specimens of the student world Here's looking at a few.

Some people are not very compatible with books. They usually borrow or copy down notes, a couple of days before the exam and then look at them with high expectations.

Another lot believes in the `swallow and throw up' method of studying. They grind their noses into their books and on the day of exams, pour out all their mugged up knowledge onto the paper. After that there is absolutely no recollection of what they have learnt.

Some study and cram down hard till the final hour, but as soon as they see the paper panic takes over — BLANK — they don't remember a thing. Soon the exam is all over and they come out sobbing, telling their pals — `Ennakku onnume nyabagam irukkalai!!!'

At last we have the pretty normal in most aspects expect for the fact that they have great `know-it-all' grey cells. They also make great partners during exams (know what I mean!!!)
