Post-Exam Blues?

"Education is hanging around until you've caught on..".- Robert Frost 


This morning I woke up earlier and drove to Tanglin. I promised a friend to have breakfast together.

The Syafawi Exam will start at 8.30 a.m. sharp and we were divided into 4 groups. I was in the 2nd group and my name was last in the group. I wish I was earlier but I guessed it’s a blessing in disguise. At least I could do some revision while waiting and had the opportunity to ask those tested earlier what questions were asked. I was supposed to be tested by Ustaz Mokhtar but last minute change was made to put me into Ustaz Nazri’s group. I heard that this Ustaz is notorious in asking difficult questions and some from out of the syllabus. When my time came, to my surprise, it went pretty well. My hafazan for both Surah As-Sajadah and Al-Insan was excellent. My recital of the al-Quran was not bad. I missed answering one or two questions but that’s ok. I couldn’t have done better. 

Yesterday when I sat for the written exam, I was quite disorganized. The questions were not difficult and I had answered all questions quite well but I had left blanks thinking that I will have ample time to revisit and fill in good examples. But the 1 1/2 hours allocated were too short for some of us. The Ulumul-Quran exam was better and we have ample time to check and re-check our answers.

I have done my best. Insya-Allah, I will pass the exams with flying colors...
