Ten Tricky Tresses~
Hope you all had a nice break, and are ready to get back to work.~
Okay, better late than never. Here are your marks kids, and I put some comments on your papers. If you want to talk to me about what I wrote, feel free to come by and speak to me. Most of you did very well, and I'm glad to see you've been working hard.
Also, for the older students, feel free to ask me for extra sample questions if you want to keep practicising. I can even guide you to what the examiners would look for when reading your answers.
Oh, and if anyone is wondering about Professor King, I don't know about how long he'll take to grade your assignment. Not like the guy tells me anything that makes sense anyway...
Grades
O = Outstanding
E = Exceeds Expectations
A = Average
Gryffindor
1st: Duo - 15/20 - 10 points (Very good work, I see you take well to these sorts of tests, that will aid you well in your future studies.)
3rd: Maka - 17/20 - 10 points (Nicely done, very efficient, just watch out for the trick questions and check your answers so you don't lose marks carelessly)
4th: Botan - 16/20 - 10 points (A well done effort, just make sure to pick up details in the questions that will help you answer them.)
5th: Shin - O - 15 points (You seem to have a good grasp of how to answer the questions, just keep practising.)
Yuuki - E - 10 points (You are very close to getting that balance just right, just remember to explain what facts back up your opinions.)
Hufflepuff
3rd: Crona - 15/20 - 10 points (Good work, you just keep it up and try to have a bit more confidence in your answers, it will get you marks.)
5th: Asuka - O - 15 points (You're on the right track, keep studying and putting variety into your work, and you'll do fine on the exam.)
Ryan - A - 5 points (Try to put more detail in to pad out your answers, and be careful that your writing is legable so the examiners don't get irked and you lose marks before they read your answers.)
Subaru - A - 5 points (I see you panicked a bit at the start, but I think you are good at the subject. If you take time to calm your nerves and read through the test first, you could do very well.)
Ravenclaw
3rd: Kid - 8/20 - 0 points (You seemed to have wasted a good bit of time while the questions you got to were very surely answered. I'm quite sure you would have answered the others well if you had gotten to them in time. Was there a problem?)
5th: Tieria - O - 15 points (Very thorough and well thought out work. Just remember it doesn't hurt to add your personal touch to make it your answer, not just the knowlege for in the textbooks.)
Slytherin
4th: Natsuo - 12/20 - 5 points (You've got the general idea and I'm pleased with your confidence, just try to balance out your opinions with facts more, to show what you know as well as what you think.)
5th: Saralegui - O - 15 points (Good mix of fact and interpretation, as long as you keep your balance of those right, your answers will please markers.)
6th: Fin - E - 10 points (Remember to double check your answers and not to rush due to time, the simplest of mistakes could cost you marks.)
7th: Fakir - O - 15 points (You are very well learned and succinct in your answers, but I would advise not to be afraid of giving your personal thoughts when required, to show the examiners what you know that makes you different from others who've studied the same facts.)
