Please describe in detail the raw materials, functions, effects and status of the compound decoction.

During the practical operation in the afternoon, all candidates were required to independently prepare a common antidote.

Common antidotes can neutralize the toxicity of most common poisons and are very practical medicines in real life. Sainz thinks this exam is well designed.

Since it is independently produced, apart from one standard ingredient, the other materials are of course not processed in advance.

Some young wizards who had inaccurate memory of the materials were stumped at the first step and looked around aimlessly.

Professor Marchbank, who was sitting at the top and supervising the exam, did not stop them from doing so. Brewing a potion was like cooking. Even if all the ingredients were prepared in advance and the instructions were followed, people without talent would still not be able to do it well.

The two-hour activity of burning the crucible with an alcohol lamp was over quickly.

Professor Marchbank said, "Okay, time is up. Please leave your crucible. The exam is over!"

Science put the clear light blue medicine into a sample bottle and inserted it into the reagent rack. The other finished products in the crucible should also be left in place for the invigilating professors to check and prevent confusion in the submission of finished products.

The standard of the Care of Magical Creatures exam on Tuesday was the same as the compulsory course, and the theory was still tested in the morning.

The practical operation in the afternoon was finally not conducted in the auditorium, and all the candidates were taken to the grass beside the forbidden forest.

There they were asked to find a hedgehog hidden among a pile of hedgehogs.

It is very easy to identify. The prickly pear looks very similar to the hedgehog on the surface. Although their quills have multiple magical properties, it is generally no problem to just stroke them with your hands. It is not impossible to distinguish them by identifying their quills, but it will be very energy-consuming.

The stingray is very suspicious. When it suspects that someone is trying to poison it, it will become very angry or even crazy. So if you want to distinguish a stingray from a hedgehog, just feed it some milk. A real hedgehog will not show any special reaction, but if it is a stingray, it will be scared crazy.

There weren't many options for the assessments that could be conducted in the open field at the edge of the Forbidden Forest. After identifying the Thorns, they were asked to demonstrate how to deal with the Bowtruckles.

They also had to pick out food from a pile of supplies to feed the injured unicorns, even though there was no injured unicorn waiting to be fed on the scene.

Finally, they were asked to demonstrate that they could feed and clean the fire crab independently without getting burned.

The name of the fire crab is very deceptive, making people subconsciously think of the appearance of a crab, but the truth is that these guys actually look like a big turtle with a shell inlaid with jewels.

Their bodies are laden with gems, and they were once so coveted that a sanctuary has been established on a stretch of coast in Fiji, where they are native, to protect them.

But there are also some wizards with weird ideas. They catch fire crabs not for the treasure on them, but to use their shells as crucibles.

The Fire Crab's way of defending itself is just like what you would do during an exam: spit fire out of its butt.

Of course, they are generally docile unless attacked or deliberately provoked, so many wizards keep one at home as a pet.

The Astronomy Theory exam on Wednesday morning went very well.

The wizarding world's astronomical focus differs from that of Muggles in some respects, but the names of the planets in the solar system are the same, and it is unclear who influenced whom.

Learn more, take fewer exams.

The astronomy content of the Ordinary Wizarding Level Examination was entirely focused on the solar system, such as the names of all the satellites of Jupiter, and one question asked whether there were mice on one of its satellites.

The practical exam was to be held at 11pm, so I was scheduled to take the elective exam on Wednesday afternoon.

Sainz originally thought that he would most likely need to use the time converter during the exam, but it turned out that his worries were unnecessary.

The divination class and arithmetic divination class were indeed scheduled for the same Wednesday afternoon, but the times were staggered.

At 1:30 in the afternoon, Sainz came to the auditorium to take the arithmetic divination test.

Arithmancy is not like divination, which requires on-the-spot interpretation. It has fixed answers, so the form of the examination is also a written examination like ancient runes.

After the two-hour exam, there is still time for the subsequent divination exam.

Looking at the exam schedule, it's a bit strange. There is only one exam on each of the two Fridays, but the Ministry of Magic insists on making this Wednesday so tight. Sainz scratched his head in confusion, saying, "What a hen!"

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the divination exam began. Students entered the examination area where the four examiners were one by one and then demonstrated what they had learned.

First, the tea dregs are interpreted, then the palms are read, and finally the crystal ball is used for divination.

Everyone knows that it is wishful thinking to really predict something, and the examiners don't have such expectations either.

But candidates have to give logic to what they say.

For example, you can’t say you saw the sun and then say, “Professor, you’re in big trouble!”

Everyone understands that the purpose of the divination course is not to train a master of divination, but to let students know that there are these divination methods in the world today, and these methods are not nonsense, but there have indeed been prophets in the past who can apply these divination methods for divination.

Its purpose is to tell people that when they really meet a prophet one day, don't act like a Muggle who knows nothing!

At 11 o'clock in the evening, all wizards arrived at the astronomy tower at the same time, thankful that the weather was good and the conditions for stargazing were suitable.

All telescopes were adjusted to a fixed angle, looking up at the starry sky.

As Professor Marchbank announced the start of the exam, everyone began to mark the positions of the stars and planets they observed on the blank star map given to them.

At two o'clock on Thursday afternoon, the students turned over their upside-down History of Magic papers and began to answer the questions.

As Sainz had speculated before, they were all about the goblin rebellion, the establishment of the International Confederation of Wizards, and the implementation of the Statute of Secrecy. These broad topics certainly would not be difficult for him. If he was really asked about who invented what in which year, he might really be stumped.

Having successfully completed so many previous subjects, the Ma Gu research on Friday would not be difficult for him.

With Sainz's spirit, when he put down his pen, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "It's finally over!"

No wonder the History of Magic examination room was filled with laughter when the exam ended the day before!
