Ask HN: Please wish me luck for my exam

4•Imustaskforhelp•2w ago
Not sure if this should be considered an ask HN or not

Currently going to give an exam for which I had to prepare for 2 years.

Currently in high school & in my country, its kind of the test to get into decent college. I get two attempts at it and its my first one and I genuinely just want to do good

I don't know, I have gone through a lot from being an absolute topper to struggling to everything in two years & none of it matters, what matters is right now and I don't know.

I do just want to be happy and to one day or today and just get into decent college so that I can actually do what I like with computers.

Wish me luck

Good luck and godspeed.
charlie0simmon•2w ago
Good luck! In Chinese culture, we have a saying: "十年磨一剑" (Ten years to sharpen a sword) - meaning years of preparation lead to one decisive moment. Your 2 years of hard work is that sword.

Also, we say "金榜题名" (May your name appear on the golden list) - the traditional blessing for exam success.

You've got this! 加油!

Wishing you the very best. If you find exams stressful, keep in mind that you're not alone.

I've long felt that the practice of using exams to gauge knowledge or intelligence is overdue for disruption. Exams are only able to evaluate a very narrow set of abilities, so don't lose heart if your hard work doesn't translate into "marks."

No one knows what'll replace the current system and humanity may take 1 step back for every 2 steps forward. Nonetheless, I draw comfort from recognizing that so many interesting and important problems remain to be solved; problems that can keep a sharp and motivated mind engaged for a very long time.

Correct me if I'm wrong about my guess: you're referring to the JEE (Joint Entrance Exams) in India. For those unfamiliar, these are the critical exams that high-schoolers must excel in, so as to apply to the IITs, NITs and many other institutions in India. The exams just got kicked off.

While competition for the IITs is fierce, I'll submit that there are many institutions in which one can do well. Key is to retain your curiosity and aptitude for learning, and to not let the education system snuff those out.

Again, apologies if I've presumed too much.

Imustaskforhelp•2w ago
Yes its JEE.

The exams didn't go as I planned it to. I spent way too much time in physics and I couldn't solve much in chem and in maths I really panicked

I think it was one of the worst exams I had. I expected better of myself.

Regarding curiosity, I don't even know man. I had some of the most depressive thoughts today, I do want to do better in the next exam & I don't even want to take a break (well I slept 9 hours after exam or something)

I don't even know, every family member of my like brother etc. they are all somewhere good in life, some getting married, some have jobs, some studying in prestigious & I was on that trajectory too but today the day which mattered, all hell broke loose

Curiosity's kind of killed. You can read my comments in here, they show curiosity but it doesn't matter man, it just doesn't.

I just wanted to get into a decent college & still do.

No you didn't presume too much, I don't know what to feel & I am worried all my friends and everyone would ask me marks and my mother and father associates and I am not prepared for them to tell my marks which I feel are severely low or like I just didn't expect exam like such.

Like, In my exams or mocks, I had two types of exams, one where questions just clicked and the other where they didn't. I knew which chapters were clicked etc. and like fuckkk all the questions atleast in maths and chem came from my chapters which I didn't feel good at or the majority of and maths just panicked me hard even though Maths is one of my favourite subjects

I just want to get alone & start again. Just completely alone and I want my brain to think straight and not feel like being in two places at one time not being able to control it.
