Midterm Exams - Part 7

As the teacher's voice echoed through the room, the students sprang into action, flipping their examination papers over in unison. I also followed suit slowly, revealing a set of mathematical problems that, upon first glance, appeared to be of easy difficulty.

As I took in my surroundings, I noticed that most of them seemed to be grappling with the questions, their faces contorted in concentration. Some gazed fixedly at their papers, while some others nervously chewed on the caps of their pens.

I began to methodically work my way through the questions on the exam paper. At times, I found myself pausing for a moment, before proceeding with my next calculation. Despite being capable of solving the questions with greater speed and efficiency, I deliberately held back, ensuring that my answers did not appear overly quick.
