Exams thread

Surprised this hasn't been set up yet but how are folks' exams going?

Personally I have none, I'm an MA student so the lone exam is already well out of the way. It was good but difficult at times. Now the thesis to work around!

Good luck all!

They're actually going better than expected surprisingly! 3 down, 4 to go - one Thursday, Friday and then Wednesday and Friday week. Left the study way too late though, and now I'm getting féck all sleep but it'll be worth it! I just keep telling myself "All June, All July, All August"

Four remaining, two down. I was actually happy with them so far, far happier than last year although I still got on rather well back then.

Pleased for you on both counts Palytoxin and Corkfeen.

That'll do it alright. I found the first year sociology exam the easiest part of the entire year in sociology. If you want any grinds over the summer let me know. I'm graduating this year with a major in sociology.

It's quite good! Just over the half way mark. Still in its draft stage so my supervisor will be taking his red pen to its throat soon enough.

If I'd actually studied and went to class I'd have been grand like! But I didnt I'm hoping to keep it on next year if I can with Psych. Lesson learned though, you cannot wing Sociology How you finding it now actually?

Also, thanks

Both were fine so and the hints pretty much came up. But I have the 3 hour Europe and the Wider World exam coming up on Monday. I really wish they wouldn't give us 3 hour exams. It's merely the fact that it's 3 hours long, not even a fear of failing or anything of the sort....
