Many first and second year students were left struggling to finish their End of Course Exam when they discovered it was written in Ancient Greek. There were mutterings of hypocrisy rather than Hippocrates as students left Scientia.<\/p>\n

One anonymous student could be heard to wail, \u201cBut I didn\u2019t go to private school on the North Shore.\u201d<\/p>\n

The student later discussed with our reporter that despite hearing the scaling benefits of Classical Greek during the HSC they elected to study 4U Maths, English Advanced, Physics, Chemistry and Economics. \u201cGotta do the Asian-Five to get into med. I mean I\u2019m not Asian, but, like, I\u2019m not dumb. Common knowledge.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked for a comment MedFac replied that as the Hippocratic Oath was written in Ancient Greek it was only fair students should be able to sit an exam in that language. \u201cWe\u2019ve warned students to stop relying on past papers, in particular the multiple-choice questions. We like to shake things up a bit here without warning anyone, and have the utmost concerns for our students\u2019 health. Really, it\u2019s just about self-direction.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ex-Sydney Grammar boys were found to be particularly cheerful. An old Sydney Girl\u2019s student was seen attempting to participate in the inside jokes stating, \u201cCaecilius est in horto\u201d. She was duly informed that was in fact Latin.<\/p>\n
