Test today

As expected, the entrance test for the course was quite difficult. Ironically, the maths part was the most challenging, physics was fun, chem was ok. There was this very tricky and cruel question in math:

Given a is not zero and that a and b are real numbers, and that the equation ax^2 - bx+1=0 has imaginary roots, the value of (a+b+1) is:
(i) zero (ii)positive
(iii)negative (iv) depends on the sign of b

in case you were wondering, the answer is (i), go figure out yourself.
At first we were given this IQ test, just one of those you find on the internet. You know, the lived and devil thing and the number patterns. It would have been much more enjoyable if there were original questions. Then came the combined Phy, math, chem test. The IQ test was 1h and the other one was 2h. The PCM test had 75 question, 25 from each subject and NO CALCULATORS ALLOWED.NO. NOT EVEN FOR MATH (or physics, for that matter). I didn't really feel the loss of the calculator. My mom had asked me to even bginr my GC, just in case. But unfortunately, ther were no such cases. I was asked to meet at some school here. My grandfather came along, since the auto drivers here may not know the way there. He and my mom patiently waited(well, actually, they enjoyed themselves at a restraunt nearby) till the end of my test to bring me back.
And, I've officially given up on getting this computer to play videos. Something is wrong with the internet connection, it doesn't download quicktime, files and google toolbar. I'm trying to get the latest version of the windows live messenger and the internet explorer.
I need to blog about the school facilities at the test location;if i miraculously get selected for the course, i'll be having it there. Yeah, there are a lot of classrooms and the greens are quite nice, but the thing is that the classrooms there have NO FANS (no air-con too). Well, because of the cold weather here fans may seem unnecessary, but you need to have them for summer years. luckily i'll not be staying during those years. The second thing is that they are still using black boards and there are just benches and long tables for the students. The test was also not organised well. It was supposed to start at 9 and the invigilator came in at 850 and all of a sudden, the students at the entrance started moving up the stairs and everynoe else followed. Well, i didn't expect much anyway, since the test location and time was only confirmed yesterday.Okay, i'll stop complaining now, my grandfather told me to get used to it, he says it's a 'culture'
