TAURUS (21.04-21.05)
Taurus students prefer drawing in their books to doing exercises. They are lazy
because they know they will learn one day (but does it have to be today?).
GEMINI (22.05-21.06)
Gemini students love to make jokes in class and they find subjects easy to
study, but sometimes don’t do as they should because they miss a lot of classes. In
class, they never sit still and find concentrating difficult.
CANCER (22.06-22.07)
Cancer students cry in class when they don’t understand. They don’t really
want to be there, but they do want to study. They hate being corrected and love being
told they are improving. If they succeed, they are happy and everyone knows it.
LEO (23.07-23.08)
Leo students always bring their books to class. They are very well organised
and have all equipment they need. They will always copy notes for other students.
VIRGO (24.08-23.09)
You’ll find Virgo students sitting at the back of the class. They take twice as
long as other students to finish anything. They think they are no good even though
they do well in exams, and they worry about learning at night.
LIBRA (24.09-23.10)
Libra students like classrooms that are quiet and comfortable. They rarely
speak in class. They believe everything the teacher says is true, even if they don’t
understand. They can’t decide if they really want to study.
SCORPIO (24.10-22.11)
Scorpio students always pass their exams. For some reason, they don’t need to
study very hard. They never cheat in exams.
SAGITTARIUS (23.12-20.01)
Sagittarius students do whatever a teacher asks them to. They tend to smile
even when they fail. They accept all homework without grumbling. Sometimes they
do the homework. Other times, they leave it on the bus on the way home.

12
CAPRICORN (22.12-20.01)
Capricorn students come to every class and like routine. They wait until they
are 150% sure before they answer even the simplest question. And even then they
think they’ll get it wrong.
AQUARIUS (21.01-18.02)
Aquarius students believe they can finish the course despite missing more than
half the lessons. They always forget their books but make friends very easily, so
sharing is no problem.
PISCES (19.02-20.03)
Pisces students ask questions in class that no one understands (not even
themselves). They never have notebooks and always ask other students for paper,
which they leave in class afterwards. They are easily confused.

Your score
0-10: In a crisis you would be cool and calm.
You would survive accidents, hijacks and fires. You’re
real survivor because you always think of yourself first.
But perhaps you would have more friends if you
thought more of other people.
11-18: You would stay calm in most crises and
you would probably survive. But you would also try to
help other people and you would risk your own life. A
true survivor would only think of herself or himself.
19-25: You aren’t really a survivor. You’re too
emotional. In a crisis you would panic too easily. If you
panicked, you wouldn’t be able to think clearly.
26-32: You aren’t a survivor at all. In a crisis you
would try to be a hero. If someone attacked you, you
would defend yourself. You would die bravely, but
wouldn’t it be better to live to fight another day?
