The ‘gang’: this consist of a group of students who have a preplanned arrangement to sit together in order to exchange ideas in the hall. The arrangement is called ‘formation‘. These groups are of two kinds; there is the group in which every member of the group have something to offer and there is the kind of group in which there are a server and receivers. The server being the brilliant student that serve others answers to questions in the exam hall.

The ‘ideas’: these are set of mostly average students who are not over-dependent on another student for their exam success, they are prepared but sometimes they don’t know it all or just forget some of the questions.

The ‘dubbers’: these are students who didn’t prepare for the exam so all they want is to sit beside someone who prepared. These students don’t need ‘idea‘, they need the full answer from the answer booklet of another student.

The ‘not so lucky’: these students are mostly part of a ‘gang’ that was mentioned above but because of ill-luck they get left behind by their ‘gang’ or was separated by a lecturer. They are lost in the exam hall as they are fully dependent on their ‘gang’. This set of students are the one you see moving around trying all they can to get to their ‘formation‘.

The ‘Boy is good: these are the type students that crave the attention of lecturers during the exam. They are mostly above average students but they are showoffs. Some of these students even ask for additional booklets just to prove that they know what they are doing.
