by Lauren Ebersole '07 It's that time of year again, and no I
don't mean the cookie baking, present shopping, tree-cutting
time of year. It's finals time here in Indonesia. I'd like to
devote this email to explaining the test process, which is only
slightly less complicated than nuclear physics. Try to stay with
me: There are 7 classes for each grade. Grade 12 takes their
exams in the morning and each class is divided in half. Grades
10 and 11 take exams in the afternoon, each room is half grade
10 and half 11, making 14 testing rooms. Each student must
submit small photos to the testing committee. One photo is
painstakingly glued on a student ID card that is then taped to
the students' desk in his/her appointed seat. Don't forget that
each of those over 600 cards must also be officially stamped
with our school stamp. The second photo is put on a "photo
album" so that the proctor can check the student attendance.
This semester the exams are created by the MGMP of each subject.
