For the past two weeks, I have been writing my first semester examinations. I thank God for the success of the exams. Initially I was really tense but after my first paper I began to relax and that was when I began to notice alot of characters. The exam situation brings out alot of things in people which tempted me to laugh and on a few occasions made me laugh uncontrollably after which I was taken to an empty hall to write alone. Lol.
I have categorized a few of them into different groups and I will be sharing a few of them with you all.

Back to back (*3)

This one really cranks me up, those who qualify for this category are those who have been failed by a particular lecturer like three times or more.

They are the most less concerned people in the exam hall, you can practically see the hopelessness on their faces during the examinations. They are really humble and when the time comes for them to do the regular copy and paste, they are still less concerned for reasons best known to them.

The first time I saw a person in this situation, I couldn't control the laughter. The frustration tapes playing on his face were absolutely hilarious.

First to finish, last to submit

These are the really smart ones who have extreme love for their course mates. Usually, they are done with the exam like an hour before the stop time or they have at least written enough to make a pass but they stay back to help a person or two.

Here is what happens, guru's hardly understand the cheating process hence they are quickly caught. Ultimately, marks are subtracted and no one ever knows their real worth unless of course the person go copied.

It's in situations like this that you find someone who copied having high marks and the person he copied having relatively low marks.

The scary cats

This set of people are of two types; the ones who have read a bit and the ones who haven't read a thing but the one thing they have they have in common is that they go into the exam hall with brain support (little chips)

The reason why they are called scary cats is that they are so unstable while handling the brain support ( that is the ones who read before coming in). While the ones who didn't read have nothing to loose so they are hardly ever caught.

Their instability during the exams is what brings about their downfall because they are always looking around to find the invigilators.

Children with mind

I call this set of people children because they are always extremely playful before, during and after the examinations. The good side though is the guts of these guys. They are the direct opposite of scardy cats, they are usually sitting in front because that's where you will least expect them. The way they do it, most of their course mates won't even notice but don't be fooled though.
I don't know about the whole world but the few of these guys I have met always have a plan B. Some even have a C so if you don't fit into these category of free minded legends don't try to be, stick to the status quo.

Bookatenes

We all know about these category, they come super prepared. Communicate amongst themselves alone and finish before the stop time. Really shitty people.
Moving on!!!

Deal strikers

These are those who never come fully prepared but on arrival come along with someone with whom they could strike a deal. For instance A gives B answers to questions one to three and A answers to question four or at least something like that, the problem is someone is always cheated but on one seems to care because they both make the pass mark.

The miraculous

No definite set of people belong to this group though, time and chance tries us all.

Have you ever been in a hall and observed someone who isn't writing or just stumbled a bit of irrelevant stuff on the answer sheet. When you see them, you will conclude that they are candidates for the back to back (*3) category but that never happens.

Infact, most of the time come out with an above average result if not the best. But hey, the world isn't perfect, humans ain't perfect so why expect perfection from the grading process.
