PPDA exam

Rule #1: never drink the milk tea from Science canteen before any test. It is spiked with adrenaline.

9 am saw myself and 111 other candidates into the air-conditioned air-raid shelter of Temasek Hall aka multi-purpose hall. Man, i'd rather have it in Sheares anytime. Their MPH is like, one storey high!!! how to play badminton in it? omg. 3 points for the design and 10 points for the air-con, blizzard man.

anyway, everyone was doing last-minute revision, or hugging one another or hugging Buddha's feet, so there wasn't really much room for interaction. Myself included.

First 3 questions were ok, but the palpitations came again... i was practically "high" enough, that i had to struggle to keep my writing legible and my HR low. around question 4 i was around the 25-30 min mark, "well, should've enough time," i thought to myself and slacked awhile. Not a good move. Why? The format of the exam changed: there were 8 compulsory questions in Section A and 2 choose 1 questions in Section B, instead of the 6:2 format in all the past-year exams, it was really hard to gauge anything. Just do it, anyway.

So by the time Section A was finished, i had about 30-40 min left, not a good timing. And with question 8 almost blank and some other parts left unsatisfactorily covered. The panic button came on again.

By the time Dr Chui announced the time-off, the adrenaline was probably saturated. Whew.
As what Jevin suggested, taking a PPDA exam is probably more exhaustive than having sex. Wow. And I wasn't even done.
