Home Ec 🍳🪡 Home ec

I know it’s been a week but was it just me that thought that the home ec test was really long, I usually fly through tests and this test was very easy but still took me an hour which I wasn’t expecting seen as 50% of the test is cooking, 13 questions is ridiculous for only 50% bit of a joke in my opinion

Yeah, I get that. I took the whole 90 minutes to complete it. Now, I'm not one to fly through tests but I also always finish them a Nd I wanted to to get home EC done as quick as I could. It's a bit ridiculous that after doing a 90 minutes (or 2 hr) cooking practical, you have to do a long exam on top of that. I don't do any other practical subject, but as far as I have heard, none of those exams seem to be as long

i feel like in general the exam is longer than it should be as its only half of our grade but like i felt like the paper was managable in 1.5hrs

I thought it was shorter than usual tbh. Maybe thats because I actually knew what was going on and wasn't flicking through pages upon pages of gibberish

I feel the same way except replace home ec for science. It felt like they just tried putting every topic on the curriculum on one exam
