Finally, the long awaited exam finally ended. This law exam has been postponed from Sunday to today, the 27th of November 2007. Man, last night I burn the midnight oil, trying to complete the 500 questions, and I managed to do so. Lucky me. FYI, this law test is not to become a lawyer, but it’s the first stage to be driving on the road.
I woke up around 7.30am today, take a quick bite and drank mushroom cheese soup. I was kinda nervous at that time because a lot of my senior friends failed in this law exam. I kept wondering whether I would pass the exam or not….
After getting prepared, my father took me to the venue where the test is being conducted. I waited for about 10 minutes and one of my friends came with her mother. We had a drink in the coffee shop downstairs while waiting for the other 2 to arrive. I had a hunch that time that I couldn’t pass the exam. But still, it was about time to face reality. When the driving tutor arrived, we head up to the exam hall and started registering ourselves. It’s not registering via papers, but using computer. We have to scan our thumbprints (like the ones in CSI) for acknowledgement and admittance to the exam hall. Just imagine, how far Malaysia has come to use such advance technology.
We took some trouble with the thumbprint because there’s a little malfunction (I guess) with the scanner. 3 of my friends have problems scanning their thumbprints but as for me, the first try was already a success. The people in charged ordered me to enter the hall and use the 1st computer. When I entered the hall (it’s a room actually), I was a little uneasy. But then, when I sat down and started typing in my IC number, I was suddenly overwhelmed by confidence. Weird huh? There are 2 parts of the exam, the first was the color blind test. Well guys, you’ve heard it, color blind test. If you happen to be color blind, I’m sorry to tell that you can’t drive! Haha! It’s easy for the color blind test and I scored the maximum marks. Then next, to the actual law exam. 50 questions in total and the minimum passing mark is to get AT LEAST 42 questions right and above. Or else, *hiak hiak*, you’ll fail and need to re-sit for the test. It’s not cheap to re-sit though, worth RM30 (oh well, there goes for the 1 month reload).
Question 1 to question 30 was easy, or maybe because the questions asked is exactly in the 500 questions that I’ve done last night. It’s more about road signs, which is common sense to me. But after question 35, it is not as easy as expected. Time is ticking and there’s no time to spare, I just shoot some of the questions that I really couldn’t answer and hope that it’s the right one. The nervousness began to arouse even more at the last 10 questions where questions asked is about the actually law, what akta-akta and demerit marks yada yada yada~ (Now that’s really a pain in the neck). Finally, I completed the 50 question and hesitated on clicking on the ‘keputusan’ icon because I was afraid that I would fail. In the end, It takes up much courage for me to click that damn a single icon (what the heck? LoL).
And the results is (drums rolling)
1/50? Nah, I scored 48/50. 2 mistakes in total. It’s simply unbelievable and I couldn’t believe my eyes. But that’s the fact. I’ve passed! My effort didn’t go to waste after all. After getting the result slip, I handed over to the driving tutor and I could finally breathe at ease! After a long chat with the tutor while waiting for my friend’s car to arrive, me and my friend Chua Soon Ho headed towards our tutors ‘Kancil Zai’ and the tutor drove us back home. He is a kind and sociable person, can talk in many languages and understands the life of a teenager. We actually talked about teenage issues and latest news. Cool huh? To me, all those criteria that he instilled into himself, made him a famous driving tutor.
So guys, good luck to ya’ll if you are having your law exam soon. Till next time!
Over and Out
CheErZ!
