The Unforgettable Prof. Exams Season: Reflections from the First Year MBBS Students
As the semester draws to a close, many first-year MBBS students are reflecting upon their experiences, particularly their first encounter with the Prof. exams. These exams are not just academic milestones but also a testament to the dedication and perseverance of students. In this article, we explore the journey of a typical student, highlighting memorable moments and the challenges faced during the first-year Prof. exams.
The Unexpected Turn of Events
With the promise of the upcoming Prof. exams, students were preparing diligently at home. However, the unexpected release of a revised timetable by the Council of Representatives (CR) caught everyone off guard. The sudden change in the schedules turned the once-quiescent WhatsApp group into a lively, almost heated, debate environment. Despite numerous requests, the university authorities refused to make any changes, leaving many students feeling disheartened and unprepared.
The Intense Preparation Period
With the date of the exams drawing near, the focus shifted entirely to studies. Students like [Your Name] sacrificed numerous meals to avoid academic FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out), barely sleeping more than 5-6 hours during preparation days. By the penultimate day, this number dropped to just 2 hours, with students studying like dedicated nocturnal creatures. The period leading up to the exams was a blur filled with textbooks and lecture notes.
Perhaps the Most Stressful Subject: Anatomy
Among the subjects, Anatomy was perhaps the most dreaded by many first-year MBBS students. When the calendar turned to December, [Your Name] was relieved upon learning that the first paper of the Prof. exams was relatively easy. However, this joy was soon overshadowed by the simultaneous CWC (Cricket World Cup) event. Acting as a hardcore cricket fan, [Your Name] managed to watch the final with the exams in mind, leading to another sleepless night.
Challenges and Surprises
Despite the initial relief, tensions arose again when it came to the second Anatomy paper. Unluckily for [Your Name], the second paper didn’t go as smoothly. However, a neighbor’s roll number came to the rescue, providing much-needed assistance. Other subjects like Biochemistry proved to be even more challenging, with [Your Name] cramming for hours only to forget the information during the exam.
The Bright Spot: Physiology
Amidst the chaos, the subject of Physiology became the saving grace. Known for never disappointing, this subject yet again offered solace to students. However, the exam did pose a challenge, with the examiners giving questions for 40 marks directly from General Physiology. Despite the difficulties, [Your Name] and their classmates managed to complete the exam with reasonable satisfaction.
A Memorable Milestone
Although the exams were tough, they left a lasting impact on the students. From the unexpected challenges to the support systems developed among peers, each exam brought a new lesson and memory. For [Your Name], it was a transformational period marked by perseverance and, at times, unexpected setbacks. These moments, both triumphant and heart-wrenching, are incredibly memorable and provide a powerful reflection on the first-year Prof. exams.
It’s a journey filled with highs and lows, making the most out of every moment. The Prof. exams season is not just a series of tests but a journey of personal growth and resilience. For [Your Name], it was a battle, a challenge, and ultimately, a journey that is hard to forget.
Thanks for sticking until the end. Cheers and adios!
