The Countdown to Exams

Genre: College Life

5 Days Before Exam:
" Is baar books kaunse lene hai kuch idea hai kya?"
" Professor ne syllabus diya kya?"
4 Days Before Exam:
" Xerox nikaalne jaa raha hai to ek copy mera bhi bol de."
" Ye abhi jo xerox liya humne vo kaunse subject ka hai?"
3 Days Before Exam:
" Vo 32 rupees wale xerox me se kya kya karneka hai?"
" 2nd Assignment ke answers ka xerox to hai mere paas, questions kisike paas hai kya?"
2 Days Before Exam:
" Arre, first paper kaunsa hai?"
" Oye Section 7.2 and 7.3 nahi karneka tha kya? Maine galti se vo bhi padh liya.. shit!"
" Kya ****** hai be tu.. pehle poochna to chahiye!"
1 Day Before Exam:
" Sixth chapter me important kya kya hai? Mere paas sirf ek ghanta hai ab"
" Ye last me jo sums diye hai class me vo karne hai kya?"
Just Before the Paper:
" Kya kya option me chhoda?"
" Arre kuch nahi aata yaar.. vaat hai meri toh aaj!"
Just After the Paper:
" Kaisa tha? Mereko to poochna bhi mat"
" Arre mereko Q 3b aata tha yaar but time hi nahi mila.."
" Saala jo option me chhodke aaya tha vohi compulsory me pooch liya!"

PS: If only all textbooks had pictures like THIS, studying for exams would be a lot more enjoyable!

    Even if the prof did suggest such a book, have you ever gone beyond the xeroxes into textbooks to look out for such 'details'? ;)

  7. Truth be told, I prefer referring to a few classical textbooks to referring to photocopies from a large number of really crappy sources. So, yeah. Probably.

  9. Very nice!

    In law school, we have no textbooks...but the rest of the Xeroxes and dialogues are pretty much the same.

    As to the pic, I think textbook publishers need to get innovative and think up new ways of getting students interested :-)
