Nigerian student documents surprising exam rules in Germany

She mentioned that the lecturers trust her and other students enough to not cheat in the exam, but this cannot happen in Nigeria.

In her post, she explained that when it was time for the exam to start, the students dropped their phones casually on the table and began to write, but this cannot happen in Nigeria.

According to a post she made available on her page, @big_sosap, the Nigerian lady revealed she’s in Germany and had just written her first exam as she updated her TikTok page with the story.

The TikTok video carries a caption that describes the experience of the lady as it read:

"Writing exam in Germany."

She shared her thoughts, saying a lot of things are allowed in the exams, unlike in Nigeria, where students are thoroughly searched before being allowed into the hall to write their papers.

Her statement:

"Guys, I just wrote my first written exam in Germany and I was shocked to the brim. You mean we're allowed to hold our phones and bags in the exam hall like no search of phone before entering exam hall?"

"I entered the exam hall and I saw everybody pressing their phones and I was like, are we not writing this exam, are we not supposed to go and drop our bag at the front just like the way we do it in Nigeria."

"Exam started and people just dropped their phones on the table, some dropped their bags like these lecturers trust us enough not to cheat."

"Omoh in Nigeria, that one is mission impossible."

She made a lot of revelations in the post, and as her video made its way online, concerned individuals stormed the comment page of the post to share their thoughts.
