Impromptu test is one thing about school that cannot be avoided. When I was in secondary school I do hear from older students in university then about impromptu test,I never experienced it in secondary school,I don't think it's actually for secondary school students.
There was this aunty then,she always tell me stories about everything going on in their university,she told us that there was a day when they never expected to write any test,it was a class of 200 plus,so they were not prepared at all,when the lecturer ended his class,he told them to bring out a piece of paper and he wrote test on the board, like seriously she said it was not funny, everyone had no option but to write down something,they were not expecting it but they wrote down what they know,it was a large class and that was how it ended.
So I already knew about it but I was still surprised when I got into university and one of our lecturers during my 100level days gave us impromptu test in class,it was even mathematics and I dislike mathematics,it was so funny that day because everybody disagreed that day but we couldn't do anything because the lecturer didn't listen to us and he gave us the test,we did everything we could do and submitted like that,he actually told us to take it seriously because that's what he will use to grade us,no one wants to have carryover in mathematics, like who wants to do it again? No one o,we all put in more effort than it is,it went well because at the end of the day I did not fail it, but I did not like what that lecturer did that day.
Another one is my 300level,there is this lecturer that at the end of his lectures there is always a test waiting for us, like it's not easy at all, sometimes we don't even understand what he taught us but he will always give us test and anytime he gives test like that,he will always tell us to take it very serious, like very serious.
We always take it serious because no one wants to fail,we never can tell which one he will use to grade us,we always take it serious,we always hate it because we always buy paper to use or tear from our 12in1 note, one part of the book always finish because of the man's test.
Some of his test went well why some did not, there was one of his lecture I did not understand,I even came late to class that day,I was trying to grasp everything he taught that day when he said "Time for test", like sincerely I was just not happy because I don't know what to write down,when he started giving us the question self I was wondering what it was about,that day didn't go well at all,I couldn't even ask my best friend because she came early and she was sitting far away from me but I wrote something sha.... I wasn't pleased with the test but that's how it goes on till now.
In everything I learnt that no matter where we find ourselves, we should be prepared in life,we should prepare for anything coming,we should never be caught sleeping,we should never be caught unfresh.
It is really a lesson for me.
