It was really really bad. I've never had a lit test in such a format. And I'm proud to say that I'm not the only one who failed it.
For the benefit of the CJ people who'd like to test their knowledge, I'll type out some of the questions that came out for Great Expectations and some hilarious answers my coursemates wrote. Well, if you can't answer the questions, at least try to be funny right?
Q1. In 1858, Charles Darwin published ___________ ( many people misread this and wrote "Great Expectations")
Q4. The clock in Satis House showed the time as ______________ (there were many variations. someone even wrote the time of the test in desparation)
Q8. Estella's mother's name is ___________ ( friend turns around: ESTELLA HAS A MOTHER?)
Q9. Wemmick calls his father _______ (friend: eh tell me pls pls. if not im going to write mr wemmick)
Q11. Pip was abroad for ________ years (many years)
Q14. In the original ending of Great Expectations, Pip meets Estella in _________ (someone actually answered "in poverty")
Q15. Magwitch's other name is __________
Q18. The "pale young gentleman" Pip first meets at Satis House is ____________
Some other questions that weren't related to Great Ex but had funny answers were:
Q3. Wuthering Heights was published in __________ (some smart person wrote English)
Q12. "Ah! ____________ Which of us is happy in this world?" ( the blank was filled with a variety of answers that included "Dr Pan!", our prof. haha)
10 of us had tutorial in our prof's room today. It was like walking into another period in history altogether. The place resembled everything else that surrounded her - like the 19th century. She had bookshelves all around that were filled with classics. Someone commented that walking through the door to her room was like going through a time machine. But cosy tutorials like these are enjoyable though.
So, my dear friends who took Great Expectations. How many of those questions there can you answer without opening that book?
