Putting it All Together:
This is your final lesson before your the exam. This lesson is the most important lesson because it takes all the key elements of arithmancy that we have been learning throughout the term and puts them together to make Arithmancy useful to a witch or wizard. To begin the idea discussed in this section, go back to your homework from last week. Get the numbers you calculated from “Critical Thinking”. In this case my numbers are as follows: Character is 7, Heart is 9, and Social is 7. So lets take a look at what it means.
Prof. Pendragon’s Character:
My character number is 7. According to the information from lesson 2, this means that my overall character should fit within this definition: “Perceptive, understanding, and bright, sevens enjoy hard work and challenges. They are often serious, scholarly, and interested in all things mysterious. Originality and imagination are more important than money and material possessions. Sevens can also be pessimistic, sarcastic, and insecure.”
Over all, I totally agree with this statement. It does in fact fit my personality over all. It is actually a little uncanny at how close it is to the truth.
Prof. Pendragon’s Heart:
My heart number was 9. According to Lesson 2, this means that my inner self should display the following types of character traits: “Represents completion and achievement to the fullest degree (as it is the complete number, three, expressed three times). Nines dedicate themselves to service, often as teachers, scientists, and humanitarians. Strongly determined, they work tirelessly and are an inspiration to others. However, they can also be arrogant and conceited when things don’t go their way.”
Again, my inner self does fit these qualities even more so than my character or social number.
Prof. Pendragon’s Social:
My social number is 7. According to Lesson 2, my outward self should display the following characteristics: “Perceptive, understanding, and bright, sevens enjoy hard work and challenges. They are often serious, scholarly, and interested in all things mysterious. Originality and imagination are more important than money and material possessions. Sevens can also be pessimistic, sarcastic, and insecure.”
In some instances this can predict my outward self. My social number is a little inaccurate in some areas.
Preparing for the Final Exam:
Now that you have completed all the new information, it’s time to take a look back and to prepare for your final exam. As a special treat, there is no homework for this month, this is so that you have some time to prepare for the examination and complete your project. All those students who have received an “O” in my class will be able to exempt the exam. I will post a list on the forum the day the exams starts of who is exempt. The information covered this term is very basic arithmancy.
Now, during the exam the website will be taken off the internet so you will need to know how to do this information on your own. In order to ensure that you know the information, I am giving you only 24 hours to complete this exam. When you are ready to take the exam, please eOwl me and ask for the exam. I will mark the time I send it and I will give you a zero if it is not turned into be within 24 hours.
To prepare for this exam, I would suggest going over old homework and extra credit. Expect to see multiple choice questions and essays on only the information covered in this course. I highly suggest, forming a study group for this. I would be more than happy to help set up a review game if people are interested, and I can allow for participants to earn house points and extra credit. If there are any questions please let me know so that I can help you. Thank you all for making this term so enjoyable. I hope to see you around HOL next term.
