OWLS
O.W.L.S. Exam
Please only answer questions for the classes you have been taking. For example if you did not take muggle studies don’t answer that question. Each class has one question, and the answer is to be in a story or RP format based on how your character would react. Answers do not have to be insanely long however you should put time and thought into them.

Start writing from the point you’ve entered the classroom. Write how your character is feeling throughout the test what actions they might be taking. If they are nervous are they biting fingernails or scratching a lot of words out?, if you have any actual knowledge of the subject you can throw in tidbits for realism, such as writing your own question and answering it. If you don’t know much about the actual subject you can leave out such specifics and just write about your characters emotions, how they think they did, if they thought they did better on certain questions than others etc. When you come to the practical portion just be creative, it’s ok if you’re not completely accurate based on the books, you are being judged on your writing and creativity, not subject accuracy.

Congratulations on the completion of your OWLS. You should recieve your results within one week.

The possible grades are as follows:
O – Outstanding
E – Excellent
A – Acceptable
P – Poor
D – Dreadful
T – Troll

Grades are based on a number of factors including writing quality as well as how the author portrays thier character. For example if you state that your character has left the page entirely blank, you would get T due to the fact that you have made it clear your character did nothing, even though it might have been beautifully written and explained, therefore while a T would be bad in your character's parent's eyes, you should be proud of your T from an Authors perspective. If you mention that your character ended up skipping half the questions, for whatever reason, your grade might be somewhere between P and A depending on the quality of writing, as well as your descriptions of how much really was missed. It's really up to you and how you intend to portray your character as to what grades your character gets. If you are wanting a certain grade for a specific subject you may add an OOC note requesting this and it will be taken into consideration.
