The PTK EXAM

No more PTK ! Ra!! Ra!! Ra!!was the message I received and sent out immediately after the paper was collected by the invigilator. I felt a sense of relief and at the same time, a sense of exhaustion swept me - as if I had been put through a washer, churned, mangled and wangled through the sugar-cane rollers ( now you get the picture). It was like taking the STPM exams again. Solid questions in 21/2 hours. U hardly had any time to organise ur thots - Read question, jot down salient points and start scribbling like crazy....... and when the final call was made.. "Sila letakkan pen anda..." nobody bothered - each trying to squeeze in the last bit of infor. 

The exam came in 4 parts : Part 1 - To submit a 20-30 page essay on some issue in government administration (topic given in advance - the cause of my not fully enjoying the Perth holiday - half the time turning the topic over in my head); Part 2 :To make an oral presentation 10 minutes on certain topics - topic given on the 1st day of course - I got the topic on "Good Parenting Skills" ; Part 3 : To make a group presentation ( topic given 2 days in advance) and part 4 : the 21/2 hr exam. Phew!! Anyway manage to post some pics for you folks.
