    Good luck guys. All of you have a chance if you give it your best, so just do that! No more can be done, at this stage. :)

    Had an exam in Luce Upper yesterday, my teeth were literally chattering and my hands went a funny colour. A little bit of heat wouldn't go amiss!

    I think Luce Upper's lighting might have had something to do with that! I had a midterm exam there, and the lightbulbs they have seem to give everything a funny colour. My ordinarily red pen was producing orange ink while I was in there. Yes, plus it's very cold. Smelly, too.

    good luck with the last few exams folks, every other exam after these really will seem like a piece of cake. :)

    Honestly couldn't answer anything in my one today. Made a few attempts but nothing that would even bring me up to a pass. Don't think I want to sit the others.

    Sit them anyway. I thought I failed my 2nd exam and it ended up being my 2nd best exam. I've heard of people not sitting all their exams because of one bad paper and then finding out in April that they got a first in it or would probably have gotten schols if they sat their last exam.

    You've put in all the work it'd be an injustice to yourself not to finish! It's nearly over and then you can forget about it :)

    Normally I'd agree but I had to answer 4 questions and there were only two that I could attempt. And of those two I barely made a dent in them, so mathematically speaking there's not a chance I got 40%

    That's a nightmare :/ I know it's pointless and any words of encouragement will sound saccharine but maybe sit the other two just for the sake of practice before May? You could be pleasantly surprised by what you get in them when you find out in April and it could be motivational before the finals!

    I've an exam tomorrow morning study for which involves learning six essays by heart. Three come up and you write them down as fast as you can because time is short. They are fairly lengthy for 45 mins (1200 words) and I keep thinking I'm gonna blank out or something like that. Having a mental breakdown over the whole thing.
    As well as that, I've another exam tomorrow and it's probably the most difficult of the 4. And to top it all off it's my birthday tomorrow :pac:

    I considered it but I'd left some stuff to do for the remaining ones until yesterday/today so I was in no mood to actually do the revision. Also I think it'd be worse to go in and do well, because then I'd forever be cursing that one exam. In this case I think ignorance is bliss.

    An economics student I'm guessing. Today was a total train wreck, I don't think I've ever done as bad in two exams before. I wouldn't be too upset but I did so well in my first exam.

    Yeah we probably know each other, to see at least.

    Econ II was fair, thankfully remembered all the essays and wrote them down.
    Econ I was very unpredictable, no market structure question and no general equilibrium. I had nice answers prepared for Oligopoly and Welfare Theorems and then I just scraped another question. Francis decided to mix things up a little, eh? :/

    Not sure if I did enough but I was able to answer everything and only made a few mistakes. Done now anyway!

    Only took you a few months of study but now you don't need to even think about schols until April!
