melancholy

To begin with, the original title would be "what's up NMAT" nothing special. I just want rhyming. But everything turns down and theres is no other way that I can turn it up. get me? sure you do :)


I don't wanna feel like all ghetto but the exam result were quite upsetting that I cannot help myself not to be really upset. Like the song goes, " I did my best, but I guess my best wasn't good enough", I felt ashamed for myself for thinking what I gave was my bestest when in fact I didn't give any much effort on my review.


I will not tell you what did I get 'cos its way too shameful to share via intrawebs. I'd rather keep it unnoticed under my racks. I have prepared myself not to expect so high 'cos I know my limits but I have never prepared myself to get that so low I'll even would've drown myself. just imagine. try try to imagine and put yourself on my shoes, you'll be upset. Assurance guaranteed.


I've been dreading myself for the past two months about this whole THING but I guess all those time I'm not even starting preparing myself for this whole new journey Iem' going to ride into and sometimes it makes me think that Iem' only doing all this to escape from the bitter reality, workstuff speaking. Guess mom was right, as always. 


Avoiding bed epiphanies are much better but at this time when Iem' pressure and about I just cannot ignore it just like that. Sometimes it leads me to some more sensible epiphanies that'll end up to the start of something that sometimes means a good beginning. But, really, insights are much better to come in the morning.  Mch more tolerable that way. 


BTW, to those who are planning to take up NMAT exams:


- it is given every april and december every year.
- filing of application is two months before the test via online. just visit the cem.com or simply google NMAT. Some instructions were given on the site.
- after all the payments were settled, check the what to bring during exam, check your room assignment and school (release two weeks before the day) and what not.


review: 


- I don't go to a review center, I just borrowed a compiled reviewer from a friend who's now in his first year of medicine. Some other says that MSA review materials were way too leveled-up. IDK since I haven't had the chance to scan some MSA nmat reviewers.  
- highschool (chem&physics) books are bible they say too. So, you might want to pull the dusty boxes out under your bed.


the exam:


- bring food (optional) just to save you time and energy. Exam starts at 8am (be there atleast 6am to save you from the hassles- there will be a long line before you can enter your assigned bldg-) and finish at 11am. break is for 1 hr & 30 m before the part two of the exam begins.
- one pencil is enough just bring sharpener though.
- candies, water, gatorade and stuff are permitted. 
- exam will finish at 3:30/ 4:00 pm depends on what time you've started.
- computation are at peak in mathematics (stating the obvious), but nothing much on chemistry and physics. no calculators allowed, FYI.


I know Iem' not the right person to be talkinh this to you well y'know , but I just wanna give the newbie takers some insights about NMAT. Hope it'll help.


Iem' planning to take up again on April 2012, and hopefully in God's willing I'll give it a kick. God bless us all.
