Salaam Imtihaan

assalamualaikum warahmatullah and hi...

"Do men think that they will be left alone on saying, "We believe", and that they will not be tested? We did test those before them, and Allah will certainly know those who are true from those who are false."

Al-Ankabut 29:2-3

exam's approaching for most of us mancunian students... although my own exams coincide with the university's exam period but the system, generally, is different... uni's exam period is from monday, may the 16th until friday, june 10th... the current term ends there, or in other words, summer break begins after june 10th...

whereas for me, i'll sit for my first paper, the Progress Test, next monday, may 16th, and the other paper, the OSCE, on wednesday, june 8th... there is no study leave in between, its just class as usual... well, there might be a few days break before OSCE, but not a specific one-week study period, etc like what students from the other courses had... and on monday, june 13th, i'll start my 4-week student selected component (ssc) period, where i will be attached to a ward/gp/consultant/firm/etc. and submit a report at the end of the fourth week... ONLY THEN will my summer break kicks off, which is on friday, july the 8th... and after a good 7 weeks (hopefully...), i'll start my 4th year... mark that date: TUESDAY, 30th AUGUST 2005...

anyway, no need to complain, for Allah is with those who have patience... thanks to Allah for all His help (alhamdulillah), and may He guides and strengthens us all with the necessary knowledge and motivation to face the upcoming exams... amiin...
