<p>You are here to take the O.W.L. examination for Potions. I highly doubt that many of you will pass, seeing as you are all abysmally poor potion brewers. I'm not sure why you are even bothering. However, if you feel you can pass this exam, you have until 4:30pm EST to submit your answers to me through the Private Message system. I will not accept ANY late examination papers. Cheaters will be severely punished.</p>

<p>Also, since I have been forced to help a certain student in Remedial Potions, I was not able to devote as much time as required to gathering the information for this test. Therefore I feel I should acknowledge the Lexicon Staff's adequate knowledge of Potions and for categorizing potions ingredients. Because of their competence I was able write this test with greater ease.</p>

<p>Begin.</p>
