Question

How was the examination process arranged for helen in cambridge school

Answer 1

Cardboard box around head,only eyes are open....no cheating m8

Answer 2

The method to take the preliminary examination was not very complicated. The candidate was to pass the examination in sixteen hours- twelve hours being called elementary and four advanced. He/She had to pass five hours at  a time to have them counted. The examination papers were given out at nine o'clock at Harvard and brought to Radcliffe by a special messenger . Each candidate was known by an allotted number.
   Helen was given a special room so that her typewriter on which she was to write her answers did not disturb the other girls. Mr. Gilman , the principal of Cambridge School , read all the papers to her by means of the manual alphabet. After she had written her answers , Mr.Gilman would spell to her what she had written her answers, Mr.Gilman would spell to her what she had written so that she could make necessary corrections .
  Afterwards, Mr.Gilman sent her written work to the examiners with a certificate that she ( candidate no. 233) had written the papers.
 Helen was able to pass every subject offered by her , and received 'honours' in German and English .
 She could not do so well in the finals simply because no one was allowed to read her written work to her for making corrections.
