Chapter 198 Exam Week 1
The Transfiguration test is on Tuesday.
The Transfiguration Theory exam is very simple, it is nothing more than the definitions of various spells commonly used in Transfiguration, such as the Conversion Spell, the Vanishing Spell, etc.
The practical exam in the afternoon also went very quickly. There were only two items. The professor asked him to make a stone disappear and to turn a fat weasel into a white swan.
Sainz completed both of these tasks perfectly.
Don't underestimate the act of turning a mouse into a bird. Although this operation may seem insignificant, it is already a cross-species transformation. Some wizards who are not sensitive to Transfiguration will not be able to learn it even if they spend their entire lives on it.
On Wednesday morning, the students arrived at the theoretical examination venue on time, and the herbology examination began on time at 9:30.

Herbology is a subject that takes one-third more class time than other compulsory courses. The content is really complicated and has no common points. Each plant is a separate subject, which makes some students have a hard time memorizing it.
Sainz doesn't have any special tricks, but fortunately he has a one-to-one replica of the greenhouse, where he can see and become familiar with them every day. Practice helps to remember things much more deeply than simply memorizing them, so he has no problem coping with the exams.
For the practical exam in the afternoon, he thought he would be taken to the greenhouse to operate, but he didn't expect the exam room to be still in the auditorium. He drew lots before entering. Sainz drew poisonous tentacles, which are relatively dangerous among plants, but he has rich experience in dealing with them.
Others were luckier and got to deal with the barbadensis tubers, or the Chinese biting kale, the poisonous geranium, and so on.
But from what other students said, they didn't seem to think so. Someone came out and complained that the poisonous geranium used by the Ministry of Magic for exams was too fierce and actually bit him!
The Defense Against the Dark Arts theory exam on Thursday morning tested knowledge of various dark magic spells and some strange content.
For example:
Which of the following do you think are correct?
a. Only people killed by Death Eaters can become Inferi.
b. People don't know that there are Dementors in the tropics.
c. A curse is stronger than sorcery, and sorcery is stronger than a curse.
d. If a werewolf lady becomes pregnant on a full moon night, they will give birth to wolf cubs instead of humans.
e. The female ghost only knows some basic magic, just like it has been discovered that the troll also knows some simple magic.
f. No spell can protect against the Cruciatus Curse.
g, Giants and black magic have a natural alliance.
In the practical operation in the afternoon, Professor Tofty was Sainz's examiner, and several evil spells he set were quickly broken by Sainz.
Bogut rushed out of the dark cabinet and floated in front of Sainz like a ball of black mist. A minute passed and he still hadn't decided what to turn into to scare him. Finally, he randomly turned into a firecracker, which exploded with a bang and turned back into something else.
Tofty stood up and applauded excitedly, "Perfect! Perfect!
A firm heart, no fear!
I always thought this was just a legend, but I didn't expect it to be true!
Mr. Autumn, you have surprised us again!"
"Thank you, Professor Tofty! What is the next project?"
“Autumn, since you have such a determined heart, we can definitely simplify the examination process.
How about you show me a Defense Against the Dark Arts move like you did to Professor Marchbank, and then we'll be done with it?"
"Okay, professor!" Sainz didn't waste any words. He chanted a spell and a "swift" came out from the tip of the apple wood wand. The swift flew around his head and landed on Professor Tofty's desk. It then fluttered up again, flew across the auditorium, and disappeared in a wisp of silver-white smoke.
Not only Professor Tofty, but all the wizards present stared at the elf until he disappeared.
Professor Tofty clapped excitedly again, "Great, Autumn, a complete Patronus, most wizards can never achieve this in their lifetime!
Okay, but I'm not Professor Marchbank, so I can't tell you the results right away. You can go back now!"
After Sainz bowed respectfully, he walked quietly out of the examination room.
He heard Professor Tofty say to a proctor in charge of roll call: "The next candidate can come in."
The teacher picked up the list, "Penelope Clearwater, Miss Clearwater, Professor Tofty is free, you..."
The exam on Friday was relatively easy, as it was an ancient rune study with only a theoretical exam and no practical operations.
Saiens has made many alchemical items on his own. The lamps in his home, as well as the iron firewood, the fourth sister-in-law, etc., also require some ancient magic runes in the production process. In the process of practical operation, he found that some of the current rune explanations are incomplete or erroneous in some places.
However, he was taking an exam, not publishing a paper. Even if he thought the translation of some magic words was a bit far-fetched, he would not try to be arrogant and write a version that he thought was correct. All explanations should be based on the textbooks.
When others are the ones who make the rules, even if everyone will find out that it is wrong later, at the moment, during the exam, it is still the standard.
There was only this exam on Friday, so Sainz could rest in the afternoon. Other students who did not choose this course could rest after the exam on Thursday.
The following weekend is still a time for rest. The professors in the examination management bureaus are all over 100 years old, so they need to have a good rest. In fact, they are more tired than the candidates, especially during the practical exams. The candidates only need to do their own part, but these old people have to test dozens of people.
Even if each person only takes five to ten minutes, it will take several hours to complete the test.
Even during exam week, Sainz still carried out the necessary exercises in the Requirement Room without fail.
After dinner, he quietly pushed open the door of the dormitory. Ben and Adam were still reviewing hard.
Exams for other grades will be completed within a week. Exams for lower grade students generally take five days. Third and fourth graders, who have more elective courses, may continue taking exams on Saturdays and Sundays.
It is easy to understand why the lower grade students have a week of relaxation after the exam week to wait for the test results to come out, because they have to wait for the fifth and seventh grade students to finish their exams, and they can't leave them out of the year-end party.
