#1: The gobsmacking amount of holidays
This is the main incentive or loving the exam days. The holidays. In our school (which is one of the meanest there), we get only 1 holiday between exams (as opposed to the 3 or 4 the others generously give).
But let’s not complain. Holidays are great. They are certainly one of my most productive times. This blog was started during my half-yearlies for example.
#2: Half-days
Even on the days we have school (3/7 in a week), we have half-days — i.e., we’re left at 11:30 instead of 1:30. That might not seem like much, but it’s a huge difference, really.
