Aussie Examinations

Tonight I had my first test at uni in Australia (for my Lifespan Development Psychology course). It went well, not great but well enough. Am actually enjoying taking a break from my regimented hw and study schedule that exists when I am on the Boulder campus. The test was structured pretty much the same: multiple choice and short answer. It was strange though because instead of a regular number 2 pencil I had to get a 2B pencil...hmm. Even stranger though is that when we sat down to take the test for the first five minutes we weren't allowed to fill in any answers or write on the tests, we were just given five minutes to look over the test. Uhhhh, why? And time constraints couldn't be a possibility as the test took 45 minutes and we were given an hour and a half. It seemed like a superfluous practice. I only have two more tests this whole semester, a midterm for my philosophy class and the final for the psych class. Other than that it's just papers, one a week for the rest of the semester...so, one a week for the next 5 weeks. Crazy how close we are to finishing! I shall take some pics of campus one day and share them with you, bloggy. :)
