With the experience of the previous two days' examinations, everyone has a more intuitive impression of the level of the O.W.LS examination.
The Herbology written test on Wednesday, like the previous two written tests, mainly tested the magical properties and applications of magical plants and mushrooms. It was a bit similar to the spell theory test and also required one hundred questions, most of which came from the book "One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi".
Therefore, if you want to get a high score in the written test on herbal medicine, it depends on how well you have memorized "Thousands of Miraculous Herbs and Mushrooms".
The practical test in the afternoon will be held in Greenhouse No. 3. Candidates need to enter Greenhouse No. 3 one by one, deal with the fanged geraniums individually, and collect a certain number of fangs.
The key to getting a high score is to avoid being bitten by the fang geranium as much as possible. Several examiners will give students scores based on whether their operation of collecting fangs is standardized and whether they are bitten.
Even with dragon-skin gloves, Fred was bitten by the fanged geranium many times, and his performance in picking the fangs was a mess. On the contrary, George seemed to be very adept at dealing with the fanged geranium.
"Finally I can get rid of this class."
While eating dinner, Fred repeatedly checked the injuries on his hands and complained, "I don't have much patience to take care of those things. I'll be satisfied if I can barely pass the exam. Anyway, I don't plan to continue to take this elective course."
"Making joke props will definitely require a lot of magical plants," Albert reminded.
"Aren't there still you and George?" Fred shrugged. "George and I discussed it at the beginning. One of us will learn Transfiguration, and the other will learn Herbal Medicine. We call this division of labor and cooperation."
"What about brewing the potion?" Lee Jordan asked with a smile.
"Don't we still have Albert?" Fred said disapprovingly, "Besides, we can also brew ordinary potions. As for those particularly difficult potions, let Albert handle them."
"Tomorrow is the Defense Against the Dark Arts exam," George suddenly said. He wanted to try and see if he could get an excellent grade. This was their only chance to get an excellent grade.
"I think the exam shouldn't be difficult. Albert gave tutoring to so many people a while ago. Maybe the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor next semester will be surprised to find that so many students have achieved a good score." Lee Jordan became more and more confident about the upcoming exams. The so-called written test is nothing more than seeing who has memorized the key points. As long as you are willing to spend more time on the key points, there will be basically no problem with the written test.
As for the practical exam, there was no problem at all. Albert had talked about the breaking spell and the defensive spell separately.
He needs to undo a curse on a cursed rat and fight off a Boggart that emerges from a locket.
"What are you afraid of in particular?"
Professor Tofty looked at Albert, who had just demonstrated a perfect Boggart-Repelling Spell, and blinked.
"Everyone says so." Albert sent the Boggart away as soon as it appeared.
"If you're willing to show something special, I can give you extra points," Professor Tofty said with a smile.
Extra points were meaningless to Albert, but he was too lazy to point out Professor Tofty's little thoughts. He raised his wand and shook it lightly. Five silver balls of light shot out from the tip of the wand and flew around Professor Tofty. They even said Albert's voice in unison: "Is this okay?"
"Of course, that's great. Your use of the Patronus has reached a very high level. I dare say that few people can do it to this level." Professor Tofty did not hesitate to give his praise and applause. Albert always brought him unexpected surprises.
It is already very difficult for ordinary wizards to summon a patronus, let alone someone like Albert who directly hid the form of the patronus and summoned multiple patronus in one breath, and finally made the patronus speak.
This is no longer a level that ordinary wizards can achieve. Even in the entire British wizarding world, the number of wizards who can achieve this level can only be counted on two hands.
The other examiners all noticed the ball of light above Professor Tofty's head melting into a silver mist, and they didn't know what he was thinking.
Albert successfully got the fourth excellence.
Fred, George and Lee Jordan also passed their Defence Against the Dark Arts exams with ease, and thought they had a chance of getting Distinction.
During dinner, many fifth-year students came to express their gratitude to Albert, thanking him for helping them with Defense Against the Dark Arts, which allowed them to easily pass the O.W.L. Defense Against the Dark Arts written test. The practical test in the afternoon was not that difficult. Albert had focused on breaking spells and defensive spells, and even had special training for dealing with Boggarts, so there was no reason for them to fail the test.
The Defense Against the Dark Arts professor next semester will definitely be very pleasantly surprised.
Fred, George and Lee Jordan had a great time that night because they had three days to prepare for the next exam.
Albert has two more classes tomorrow, an Ancient Magic Rune written test and a Muggle Studies written test. Originally, each class lasted one day, but since both classes were written tests, he had to take the exams together.
However, the number of students taking the Ancient Magic Test was extremely small. Even if the seventh graders were included, there were barely more than twenty students.
Albert glanced at the ancient magic test paper and felt as if he had taken an English test in his previous life. Moreover, it was a particularly simple one, giving him the same feeling as a primary school English test paper.
Albert finished the test paper in nearly ten minutes and checked it over as well.
Then, he lay down on the table and began to sleep, which made Katrina, who was sitting behind him, doubt her life a little, because Albert basically slept during the entire exam.
The Muggle Studies written test in the afternoon was even more ridiculous. After reading the test paper, Albert began to doubt whether the wizard who made the test paper had ever lived in the Muggle world. The whole test paper gave Albert the feeling that it was more like something copied from the book "Family Life and Social Habits of British Muggles".
Of course, this kind of thing was par for the course in Hogwarts exams, but Albert thought this one was a little funny.
For example, to describe Muggle etiquette when meeting a guest for the first time:
For example: a) Please briefly explain why Muggles need electricity in their daily lives, and b) what things need electricity.
You can see sockets and switches in those common electrical appliances, because "Family Life and Social Habits of British Muggles" mentioned that these two things require electricity.
In the end, Albert didn't worry about it anymore. He just needed to get an excellent grade and the other problems would be fine.
Whether the correct answer is correct or not is really not that important to Albert.
