Postponed examination

Yes you are right, it prolong the agony of the students. I remember my accounting professor, when most of the class won't submit the questionnaire after the given period, she said "pass you papers, it will only prolong your agony" In my opinion I don't like also the examination cancelled, it means I need to study again. Now it's vacation time, so students will enjoy their time with their friends and families, how can they do that if they still thinking the incoming exams.

I think that it would depend on how well you had prepared for an examination. If you had left your work until the last minute and were worrying about how it was going to go then I am sure that having a little bit of extra time to prepare for it can only be a good thing. If however you were ready for it and you had just the right amount of nerves to get you through the exam then it would only prolong the pain of having to do an exam in the first place. I think that I would much rather do it and get it out of the way.

when i was a student, i also do not like if the examinations are postponed. sometimes i feel contempt when my classmates rejoiced if the professor announces the postponement. i just want to take the exam and get it over with, whether i reviewed for it or not. just like you mentioned, it prolongs the agony, if agony is what you call it. for example in your son's situation. the exam would still be on nov.5. if that were me, i couldn't and wouldn't be able to enjoy my halloween vacation because i would be worrying about that upcoming exam. yes, just like yo mentioned. anyway, just let your son enjoy his vacation. there would still be stock knowledge. and most experts even advise us to take a break before a big exam.

I feel the same way toni! Indeed, it does prolong the agony as well as it wastes our time since we have to review and re-read our notes and lessons all over again, especially when the new schedule of examinations would be weeks from now. However, since the downpour was not expected, we cannot do anything about the suspension of classes. Anyway, I wish your son good luck for his up coming periodic exam. :)

I would be happy. It means I still have more time to prepare for the examinations. It happens for a reason.

yeah. That's the tone of a mother. But think of the student! I remember how puzzled I used to be the night before examinations with books all over my room. A news of postponed examination would then seem like winning a lottery! Don't worry. This is life. You have to encounter the unexpected.

When I was a student, this kind of postponement would drive me crazy! Some might be happy as it would give them more time to study, but for me I just wanted it to be over. When the weather interferes this way, it creates all manner of other problems as well.

For me it depends if I really studied or not for that particular exam. Sometimes I'd get upset if I'm already prepared but it gets cancelled. But when I'm not then I'd be more than happy to spend a few days of my vacation to study in depth the things that I should know. I just think of it as a blessing in disguise. Maybe your son needs more time, too :) Good day!

Well, if that happens to me, i would be so happy. I could review more and be really ready. So, how did your son take the postponement? Was he happy or annoyed like you?

Same here. I think the typhoon is a just a new element but it does affect the exam timeline. At least, if the exam was postponed, you can let your mind wander for a little bit and think rest beofre you take the subject again. However, as much anyone, I would like to get the over with ASAP.

Well, but what would you do if the typhoon doesn't allow that you take the exam? You might be right when you say that you won't have fun by thinking on the test during the vacation, but on the other hand you will have more days to be prepared for the test. Another solution could be that you are able to take the test in other city, but it depends from the education authorities. By the way, the typhon has passed?

I see you're point, it would be nice to have it done before vacation. Though, me personally, I would probably appreciate the extra time to prepare and then hopefully get a better grade. I speak for my children as well, because I'd appreciate more time for them to prepare. ALTHOUGH if me or my kids are already prepared, then I'd want to get it over with before we forget the matrial. But as a general rule, I'd probably not be fully prepared a for the test nd I would like the extra time to study. That is if I really did study extra, because I'm a big procrastinator.

I'm somewhat like you. It's my practice not to cram the night or hours before the exams that's why I don't rejoice upon learning that any exams will be postponed or stuff like that. i don't to have another day thinking of the exams. I admit, I learned my lesson, becasue when I was younger, I used to prepare the last minute and it resulted to something that i don't like and unfavorable. I hope you still find a way to enjoy despite the situation. I know that you prepared well, just enjoy the well deserved vacation and have a brief recall or review the night or day before the scheduled exams. Good luck to you.

During our school and college days we encounter the postponed exams. Mostly exams are postponed due to bad weather like continuous rain, storms and some other unexpected issues. Some persons who don't prepare for the exam will get more enjoyment if the exam is postponed. But this kind of postpone don't give enjoyment to the persons whoever prepared for the exams sincerely. However every student is in need to face this kind of incidents at least once in their school/college days. During my school days, while i am in 9th standard we faced an unexpected rain fall in our place and it continuous around 3 days from Saturday to Monday, due to this heavy rain fall 2 of our exam is postponed, i.e our Monday and Tuesday exams are postponed. But the examination question paper is ready and our teacher kept it in a secret manner. However one of my classmate chased it and spread it out to all the students. Every one is getting good marks in both of the subjects with the help of him and teachers are very much amazed with the students performance. For me, i never enjoy this kind of postponed exams as well as chasing works. Exams are the best way to show our real talent. If the exam will happen in the scheduled date, it will be more fine for me and do it properly based on my knowledge. If the exam is postponed for any reason and get holidays during the scheduled exam time, we don't have the ability to enjoy it. Since we are in need to write the exam and the tension don't allow us to enjoy the leave. I hate this kind of postponed exams which gives more tension and pressure to us. Always i like the have my exams in the scheduled date, it will help us to show our real skills at the same day of the scheduled date with out any delay.

I think it depends.. if the student is very prepared to take the test.. then yes, it will only prolong the agony. but if the student did not study.. then it will definitely be a joyful day. but usually, student rejoice if a test is postponed especially if it gets cancelled.

hi, when i was in college i really loved that my examination been cancelled because of some reason,i will rejoice of course because i still have time to review those lesson that includes to the exams,actually all students will love that situation.

Well, I think it's a very annoying thing for all of us, when we have to do an exam, maybe a medical examination, and it will be canceled and postponed to a date to be assigned. I talk about this problem, because one thing inherent in these days is happening to my dear mother. Three times she goes to the hospital for a reservation, three times even moving her that  until 2013! I emphasize, however, that we ourselves, there is no typhoon, maybe in your country, which unfortunately has suffered for this atmospheric phenomenon, there are causes beyond our control.

Personally it depends on if I think additional preparation is going to do me any good. Sometimes it's just hopeless. In that case I'd rather just get it over with. No sense stewing about it. I did have an exam postponed two weeks in highschool because of one of the worst blizzards on record. It might have helped. If I recall I passed that one.

It depends on how prepared I am, I guess. If I am so ready to take that exam then heck yeah I will be very upset. But if I haven't studied well and I really am not ready to take the exams, then postponing it will be a welcome treat for me, lol!

At least it was cancelled for a good reason. I wouldnt worry- you can have it done in a few more days. Take care, see you soon here.
