Another student added, "We haven't practiced the practical aspects as much, but I think the exams will be manageable." Despite the nerves, a sense of anticipation and determination prevails among students as they prepare for the challenges ahead. The secure delivery of the exam papers ensures fairness and transparency, setting the stage for a successful exam period.
