Our First Examination Session

To be a good doctor in future means to study well at the Institute from the day of admission till the day of graduation.

We must remember that we cannot be bad doctors as we shall be responsible for the protection of people’s health and their lives. Our future work will require deep knowledge and all our abilities.

To achieve these high aims the students of our group decided not to waste any time and prepare well for our first examination at the Institute.

The dean fixed all the dates of our examinations. But in addition to examinations we had some credit tests. The most difficult test was in Physics but we passed it successfully ahead of time. The first examination was in inorganic Chemistry. We consider that this subject is the most difficult of all the subjects in the first year. So we began to work hard to pass it successfully.

The examination began. The students who entered the room took the cards and had some time to prepare for their answers. The cards contained all the things studied during the term. Most of the students answered well and got good and excellent marks. It was easier to take the next examination and all the students of our group passed it well.

We were a little tired after the examinations and credit tests but happy that the first session was over. Winter rest at a sports camp was waiting for us.
