   It’s every student’s bad dream: exam time. During the last three days of the term, we had six exams.

    My easiest exam was math. All of its questions were from earlier exams.

    The biology exam was hard. At first, I thought I would fail it. It asked about lots of things we never studied in class, though we could use our textbooks. And there wasn’t enough time to check every question. I guessed at many of them. But my teacher said that I did well in it.

    In the career planning and computer applications（职业规划与电脑应用）exam, we had a lot to do: a PowerPoint presentation, a book report and a class evaluation（评价）. I felt like I needed more time, but some of my classmates didn’t think so. They just quickly wrote down some answers and then played games.

    I don’t think I did very well in the English exam. We had to write an essay（passage）about books we have read in class. But I didn’t study hard enough.

    At our school, we can“test out”of some classes. That means students can study by themselves and then take exam. If they pass, they don’t have to take that class. I tested out in both computer and health classes.

    Studying for those exams was terrible. Those classes would go on for six months, but I had to teach myself everything in three weeks. Also, I had to do three big projects at the same time. I watched no TV for almost three weeks! I am so glad it is over, and now it’s the summer holiday.

    For my classmates, it will be two and a half months for fun without school or homework. But I am a Chinese, and you know what Chinese parent do with their kid’s free time: more homework.
