There were 5 questions, I was only able to do one of them fully. Ugh, I need to pass all my other maths exams now if I want to compensate for this one.
Feel your pain - same thing happened me yesterday - nearly vomited after I got out of the exam hall because I needed to do well if was to get a decent overall grade.
What made it worse was I wrote a loada bóllox for one Q and just before I fell asleep a load of stuff I could've put down came flooding back to me - nearly cried!!0 -

Anything I ever hear about biochem is bad, not just the exams...
Anyhoo, PY1052 went rather swimmingly today. It was much better than I though it would be, so I am quite happy now

Agreed, it was awful. Only did one question really. But it looked passable so at least I know I'd be able to pass it in the summer without much bother0 -
HI2013 Themes in Soviet and Russian History.
Exam was a peach. Went great. To be fair the lecturer did tell us what was coming up but the questions I had prepared were pretty difficult (I likes a challenge, me) but I got them done and answered well. Happy out. Concludes a brutal three day-three exam onslaught.
HI2001 History: Core is all next week.0 -

Had Java at 9.30 today. I started writing at ten to ten and walked out at half 10. I don't think I've ever had a worse exam When I turned it over all I could do was laugh. The lecturer randomly changed the format of the paper (it had been pretty much the same format for the past 4 years) and it was a total balls!
I was really hoping not to have repeats this summer!
Does anyone know if the guy who collapsed this morning is alright?0 -

Java this morning. For the last 3 or 4 years the format has been the exact same and did my study accordingly. The expected array and switch statement questions did not come up. Wasnt exactly the end of the wqorld, but it would have been s much easier if they were there. As it is, think I just scraped a pass. Thats a bit dodge though.pirateninja wrote: »Had Java at 9.30 today. I started writing at ten to ten and walked out at half 10.

Is that P.O.R.s class out of interest? - he's a bang on lecturer but led us astray a few years ago by categorically stating a certain Q would come up only to discover when I looked at the paper it wasn't there! - nothing worse than learning coding Q's only for them to not show up - makes you feel like tearing your hair out.
Heads up though lads - he can be known to mark easily from time to time0 -

if the lac operon doesn't come up i'll be repeating, i'd wager...
I just want a question on bacterial conjuagtion/transduction etc etc and from hers a Q on DNA repair methods would be handy. Theres going to be plenty of people seeing this paper in August again anyway id say :pac:. 60% failure rate in the MCQ wasnt it

think so! i passed though, by a miracle. and i did alright in labs so hopefully they'll keep me away from repeating! i'm hoping for protein translation synthesis stuff, transcription, replication etc type things in section A. plenty to bull**** about there! :pac:0 -

I always maintained the character from American Dad was based on him - some jaw on the man!!
He's a hero though, didn't have him last year for anything, was going through the ORB on crutches in a cast up past my knee to meet a lecturer about a repeat and he stopped and talked to me for about twenty mins - givin me tips on passin the repeats etc. - Sound man! 0 -

Thats the one alright. He seems like a dead on guy alright, was just annoying to see the format of the paper had changed so drastically from the last few years.
@Titan: Ya, I'm not the least surprised to hear you did well anyway.
Ya,i dont like being too confident of an exam,usually means I'll be disappointed when I get the results.Always happens
VB.Net next,looking at the code,I dont think it'll be great tbh.0 -

Vectors and tensors went terrible today. First question wasn't the same as normal, missing all the bits I actually enjoy doing. And we were given a crazy equation to work with in another question.
I really think they have decided we all have to fail this year in maths. 0 -

Absolutely hate when that happens, or when you actually have studied it but it refuses to come to you when it matters ha!
I've only got 5 tests to do, 3 done already and another 2 to go...but I'm still not finished until the 26th! Does anyone else have horribly spread out exams? Like I have basically 1 test a week, that annoys me, although when tests get hard in future I'll probably eat my words and pray for the spread

I'd love to have that timetable. You'd have loads of time between exams to study for them!
I have a week off now, which is good, but then I have 5 exams in 4 days, which is going to be torture.0 -

Yeah I know it's actually a very handy timetable, but my exams are so easy I don't need all the time in between, but I don't mind really, would just be nice to be finished now!
Looking at your 5 exams in 4 days, I feel bad for even bringing it up ha 0
