I cannot believe it! I got word that I flunked my geman exam. Only 4 of us made it. I thought I didn't do too well but to actually fail it??!! It came as a shock. Not only to me but to many others as well.
This is regardless that Goethe Institute modified the format of the exam completely and we were the first guinea pigs. No matter that this modified exam was much tougher as compared to the old one. Disregarding that my teacher literally told me before the exam I would make it.
Well, and I saw my teacher at the carpark today. Yet I didn't go up to her and say hi. I had no wish to do small talk and particularly discuss about the disappointing results.
The thought of re-taking it fills me with dread. And that won't happen anytime soon, as a matter of fact. Now that I work, I do not have the luxury of time to attend the course and make another go for it.
The man very sweetly comforted me, since I started work right before the exam, I naturally didn't have adequate time to prepare for it. Unlike my first exam which I took weeks to brace myself for.
Even so.
I am reeling with disappointment. And kicking myself for not taking the old exam last year. Because I thought I wasn't ready for it. Looking back now, I am certain I would be able to clear it without a glitch.
Too late now.

Hey girl, which level of german exam was that? Would you really need it for anything? Can imagine its tough to fail a paper....:( All that effort. But then again, you got a job now! Isn´t that what this type of exams are meant for? To enhance your employability? So well, since you´ve got a job already, I do question the need to re-take the exam...can save yourself all the time, stress and money too.
Hey Pris! I must say all the interviews I've gone to, I've never been asked to show any certificates to prove my german proficiency. They normally access that during the interviews. Therefore, taking such exams is to test how proficient I am to myself.
I guess I am after all a true blue Singaporean: must take exams to test myself and die die also cannot fail. Fail means lose face! LOL...
