#294 - Preparation for the exam (asking for monthly ticket recommendation ticket) - Mastering Lightning from Hogwarts

However, for most core subjects, a passing grade of at least 'O' is required.

Moreover, the exams are managed by the Wizarding Examinations Authority, ensuring uniform standards and considerable rigor.

Therefore, after the fifth year, most wizards begin to reselect their courses, choosing subjects they excel in, are interested in, or want to obtain certificates in, for specialized study.

Previously, among Slytherin students in their sixth year and above, the number of subjects passed was between 2-6. Only Velen had certificates in 6 subjects, while the average for other wizards was only 2-4.

But the current Slytherin is different. This year's fifth-year students all have at least 5 subjects where they have a chance to obtain a certificate, so they are much more confident this year and want to try to get more certificates.

You should know that getting more certificates now means you have the opportunity to take more certificate exams in the seventh year.

In fact, the wizarding world is also a society that values diplomas. Whether it's in the Ministry of Magic, Gringotts, the Magical Newspaper, the Magical Radio Station, various publishing houses, or major flying broomstick manufacturing companies, they will prioritize wizards with excellent grades and strong abilities.

Especially in the current environment of the British wizarding world, which has continued from the war years to recent years, Hogwarts graduates, except for Ravenclaw, have an average level of 2-4 certificates.

As a result, Slytherin students with an average of 5 or more certificates will have stronger competitiveness after graduation and will be able to make their predecessors and colleagues from other colleges die of envy.

Anduin quickly passed through the underground stone door and returned to the Slytherin common room.

It was only a little after 6 p.m., not yet study time, but the dungeon stone hall was already full of people, and the surrounding walls were covered with inspirational banners.

The little wizards sitting there were all wearing dark green headbands embroidered with the word 'WIN' in silver thread, and everyone was concentrating on studying.

Some little wizards were even holding bread in one hand and slowly turning the pages of a book with the other, obviously saving even eating time, preparing to eat a few bites of bread to save time for studying.

Some little wizards were about to get up and say hello after discovering the Head Student's return, but saw Anduin immediately wave his hand, which clearly meant that they should continue and not salute.

Wendy and Louis, who had been arranged by Anduin to prepare for the exam, immediately greeted him and followed him back to the Prefect's office.

Head Student, all the exam questions for all subjects have been predicted, and we have bound them into volumes according to your instructions and distributed them to students in each grade. Everyone is now doing targeted cramming.

Louis closed the office door, handed a document to Anduin, and reported.

Well, has the exam analysis for the fifth grade been done?

Anduin casually opened the document, glanced at it, and then looked up at the two.

It's already done.

Wendy nodded to Anduin, then pulled out a few pieces of parchment from a stack of materials in her arms and reported with a serious expression.

The Transfiguration exams have revolved around the Transformation Charm and Vanishing Charm for several years, with basically no changes. Everyone has memorized the relevant written materials, and all fifth-year students in the college can complete the practical test. Everyone is most confident in this course.

As for Defense Against the Dark Arts, the written test last year was on vampires, and the year before was on Grindylows. We judged that this year's topic should be werewolves. In terms of practical exams, the curse-breaking curse and defensive curse are compulsory items every year. This year, we guess the Boggart Banishing Charm will also be added.

Wendy reported neatly while referring to the materials in her hand.

Not bad.

Louis also took over at this time, "After diligent training, everyone can now master these contents proficiently, but more than 80% of people still cannot cast the Patronus Charm as a bonus item."

This is normal. This Patronus Charm is very difficult. Tell them not to force it and put their time on easier projects to conquer.

After Anduin warned, he looked at Louis, "Continue."

Yes, for the Potions written test, we guess it will be on Polyjuice Potion or Invigoration Draught. These two potions have not been on the exam for several years. As for the practical exam, we looked through the past exam records and found two characteristics, that is, potions that take too long to brew will not be tested, and potions that have just been learned in the fifth grade will not be tested.

Based on this, plus excluding the exam content from the previous two years, we judge that this year's practical exam questions will be one of three: Antidote Potion, Swelling Solution, and Endurance Potion. I also asked Dean Snape this morning, and he agreed to let the fifth-year students practice these three potions once.

Speaking of which, it's really nice that the Potions professor is our Dean. Occasionally, he can provide us with some convenience.

Speaking of this, Louis couldn't help but joke.

Even if we are given the opportunity to practice, we must ensure that everyone can pass, otherwise wouldn't it be a waste? When practicing potions, you and Wendy remember to keep a close eye on them to ensure that everyone can succeed once.

Anduin nodded slightly and added.

Yes, Head Student. These three courses, along with the Charms course, are the subjects we have the best chance of passing with everyone. We know what to do.

Wendy nodded seriously, but confidence could be seen in her eyes.

Then the two of them reported the preparation situation to Anduin item by item according to the subject category. They had put in a lot of effort in the last month before the exam.

The Slytherin Study Committee compiled all the exam questions for each subject for at least five years, and then summarized the rules from them, and predicted the test questions that were most likely to be tested this year in advance, and then let the students review them uniformly according to the key points they drew.

In fact, with the current knowledge accumulation of Slytherin students, they can be sure of passing the exam even with normal review, but after all, they hope to pass more subjects, and predicting the questions is more about saving time, so that they can prepare for more subjects and conduct more practical exercises.

Very good.

After Anduin listened to the reports of the two, he nodded with satisfaction, "You have done a good job. Next, it depends on everyone. There is less than a week until the final exam. Time is tight. Don't let your grades fall behind."

Yes, Head Student!

After checking the current work progress, Anduin and the two returned to the dungeon stone hall again and checked the study situation of everyone, especially the fifth graders. He understood each of them one by one, and after figuring out their review progress, he also gave guidance on their review rhythm, time arrangement, etc.
