First MYP exams

The first of August 2022…

It was the day. The day of “A new beginning”.…MYP (Middle Years Programme) was starting.

Middle school is something along the lines of “Complicated”. Complicated in different ways. Writing, homework, teachers and “rooms”. Every room had something unique for itself.

But there was one room I looked up to. One space in which I couldn’t express how nerve-racking emotions were. That room was the My homeroom.

My homeroom wasn’t just “a” room. It was an exam room. It was the room in which I took my first-ever Written exam.

We were introduced to exams on the first day of MYP… It was told to us that there would be two exams. One would be in November (End of semester 1 exams). The other would be in May (End of semester 2 exams)

Although I had 10 subjects. The exam only included 5 of them. Those 5 subjects were: Math, English, Science, French and IH (Integrated humanities).

My first exam was Math, followed by Ih, English, French and lastly Science. The duration for each exam was about 2 hours. I used a fraction of the duration to re-check. Re-checking helped me quite a bit in understanding and getting the questions right.

Conclusion: Exams are complicated, period. But this is just the start of the beginning. I couldn’t imagine how my 10th grade exams would go like! But for now I’m just in the 6th grade and I shouldn’t be stressing myself out too much!!
