how did it go for you?

pq0n1ct4ve8zf5 · 04-05-2010 06:45PM

Just had my first one there, Tradition and Innovation in the Academic Art of the 19th century. Went okay, the question I had best prepared didn't come up but two others I had reasonably well covered did so pretty good. I had 50% got from continuous assessment anyway and I think I did well in that. Three more to go

orangetictac · 04-05-2010 06:58PM

Think I left things too late for today's exam.

At least I have gaps between my exams and have learned my lesson!

Papa_Lazarou · 04-05-2010 07:04PM

1 down - 10 to go

Although todays one went pretty well now. What i had covered came up so it was some bonus.

save_our_socks · 04-05-2010 08:29PM

1 down 3 to go. Childcare and Anti-Discriminatory Practice today thankfully the 2 questions I had studied came up word for word so Im a happy camper!

How about an exam 'super' thread? To save multiple threads being set up?

Sounds like a good idea, I've my first one 2moro!

pirateninja · 04-05-2010 10:52PM

Had my first one today in the mardyke- Intermediate Management Accounting. It's definitely my worst subject but I think I passed it! Did anyone else think the mardyke was freezing this morning?

Mardyke is always cold in the morning, we used have 9am classes down in the hall (when it was wet) and it was always cold.

This time last year a successful thread was up that discussed exams. To save several threads being set up at different days, I was thinking this would be handy to have all boardsies opinions of their respective exams in one place.

Personally, mine do not begin 'till next Tuesday.

Best of luck to all!

Well I have one down, 10 to go. First exam was ok-ish; think I passed anyway.
Next one is tomorrow and I am utterly fucked. Only consolation is that so is everyone else in my class.

D'Agger · 05-05-2010 05:04PM

Had my hardest today so was looking to not fail if I'm being realistic - IS Strategy - loada shíte tbh but sooooo many articles to read for it.

I normally don't find the Mardyke that cold but was near one of the doors today and the draft was horrible everytime people had to go to the jacks or leave early....speaking of leaving early - 5years in college and twas the first time I needed the whole 3hours for an exam...very proud of that so I am

That's a consolation alright unless you're in a class full of people who say "oh I'm sooo screwed for this exam" then get a 1H á la my class

When I say I'm fúcked for an exam I mean it....then fail

Yeah I hate those kind of people but in my case I think everyone is genuinely screwed. It's 3rd year electromagnetism, an incredibly difficult subject. And to make things worse, we had three different lecturers who all did different stuff and had different lecturing styles. Just made things a lot more complicated than they already were. Bleh.

The Paws · 05-05-2010 06:10PM

ah...exams! one down and 6 to go! it went only ok but I rather not talk about it!
I hate when people say they had nothing done but when they go in - they write like mad!:eek:

Good luck everyone ( including my self

)

bp1989 · 05-05-2010 08:54PM

First today, was grand! Fairly simple, knew everyone more or less. It was my easiest class though, so I knew that would be the case. The hard ones (all 7 of them) begin Friday

ah, the art of waffling! It gets you zero marks but makes you feel like you've done something :pac:

Ah waffling. If only there was a way to waffle through Physics II.

I hear the fail train!

bunnyfox7 · 05-05-2010 10:11PM

Started today and I'm delighted with it. Was well prepared, final year now, so would want to be I guess! Will be a long night of it, but tomorrow should be fine too.

Cantabile · 05-05-2010 10:28PM

Anyone know what time one would want to be there to get the bus to Neptune in the morning? Freaked for property law...

save_our_socks · 06-05-2010 01:27PM

2 down, 2 to go! Today went better than I had hoped, was really struggling with the amount of information we got for paediatrics, but think I did my 3 questions really well even if I nearly ran out of time! My last one is my hardest and worst though 3 hours for 4 questions on Advanced Early Years curriculum, dont know if Im going to have enough time for them all!

KnifeWRENCH · 06-05-2010 04:44PM

Second exam went badly, as expected. Everyone in my class found it really difficult though, which is some consolation. I'm hoping I passed but I wouldn't bet on it.

Next exam is Monday, so at least I've the weekend to prepare for that one.

Faith · 06-05-2010 04:54PM

2 down, 4 to go. Mine are really drawn out, so I've a week until the next one.

The first two went fine, I'm fairly happy with them. I seem to have massively over-prepared compared to my classmates, but oh well.

Papa_Lazarou · 06-05-2010 05:18PM

Had physiology there--went just fantastic

First time feeling really happy coming out of an exam.

Just had maths there which went fairly well, but the lack of log tables and the fact that we got no formulae printed on the test really screwed us over. So I had to embarrass myself and ask a lecturer what the integral of sin and cos were:o. Ah well, two down, six more to go.

Ye got none??? We got the integral tables and trig tables on two sheets at the back of the exam!

All we really needed were the integrals of cos and sin, the test didn't really involve any in dept integration, but still it would have been nice to get some sort of log table. I did ask one of the attendants were we meant to get some sort of sheet with the formulae on it, but he just said that they were not giving out logtables this year. Lucky that i spotted a maths lecturer walking around the exam room and was able to ask him, but I was talking to some one in my class afterwards and he was saying that he couldn't do one of the questions because of the lack of tables. That is not really something that you should have to worry about in the middle of an exam.

Aodan83 · 06-05-2010 09:53PM

2 down, 6 more to go. Was in the Mardyke this evening and it was roasting.
Accounting and Consumer behaviour done. Think consumer behaviour went OK, but accounting was a bit dodgy.

BIS2 by any chance?

Cows Go µ · 07-05-2010 12:50AM

First one yesterday, lecturer completely screwed us over. Our paper was way harder than previous years, only 2 questions of 4 in common, one of them was the one I was planning on skipping as I only half knew it. One of the questions was completely different to anything on any other paper and the other was the same topic but we had to derive the initial equation whereas normally its given and you just work with it. Seriously, a double pendulam with springs, I haven't done that kind of thing since first year. Sorry for the rant, I'm still fuming about it.

Exam tomorrow which should be pretty okay, was given a solution set of the paper from 2007 but its the same lecturer so I'm not sitting back, I don't trust him at all now.

Well, 1 down, 11 to go. Yuck
