    i realised it at about midnight thurs night!!! i couldnt believe it!
    i had NOTHING done for it as i was going to study for it next week!!
    i was cramming all day fri!!! i was able to write an answer to the questions but im not too sure if i made up the "facts" lol!! :P hey at least we are sorted (well......) for next week anyway.
    i started off doing question 1. that was about comparing characters i chose dagdae and brigit.. after a paragraph i realised i didnt know anything about them:rolleyes: so switched to druids.. oh well
    oh and i did supernatural dimensions in kingship... i bascially talked about the dagdae being king of eirú and having magical powers... :confused::confused:

    Omg you did too , I felt soo stupid afterwards:o Your lucky you thought of it !!! I tried my best to remeber lectures but all I could remeber was looking at the clock and doodling :rolleyes: I attemted the same 1s as you , they would of been fine Qs if I had studied it :(!! I made most of the stuff up tho , i think I'll definitly have to do the repeat in august because of that now ! Maybe if we do an excellent Lit... exam , they might pass us .... ( doubt it , but try anyway ) :(:( I did terrible continous assesments:o... the outlook dosen't look good !!

    I don't think we'll fail cause of the continous assesment , it's worth 20% per module and summer exam is 80% per module , just have to do well in the summer exams to scrape a pass !

    I have figured that for gepgraphy, I only need about 10% in each section to pass :D that shouldn't be too hard, although I don't know much at all for economic geography.

    And depending how i've done in my last ary history slide test, I've pretty much already passed! Life isn't so hard! :p

    You wouldnt be doing first arts geography? question: how do you only need 10% in each section. Im currently bricking it for tomorrow economic and physical exams.... that rickett-heinz woman:mad:...

    Five down one to go then freeeeeeeeeeedom!:D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,148 ✭✭✭✭KnifeWRENCH


    6 down, 4 left.
    Electrostatics didn't go too well today, but it's my own fault for not studying it properly.

    Multivariable Calculus Monday, and if I don't do well on that exam I may as well just give up college now. It's a fairly simple exam so I need to do well in it to bring up my marks.


  • Registered Users Posts: 252 ✭✭orangetictac


    My signature will soon expire :D

    Finished 12.30 Wednesday......and of all the exams I'll probably be finished really early....so can enjoy my re-reading:P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,121 ✭✭✭Censorsh!t


    Got through the hard part (english and geography). Now just art history and philosophy left... although, I just cant ge myself to study.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,971 ✭✭✭teednab-el


    All of theses exams are an anti climax in the end of the day. I remember in my time in UCC when starting exams and wishing at the time they could be over and then when they were over I didnt feel any different as to if I was still doing them. I suppose not studying anymore during the summer is the good thing unless you have to repeat an exam like me in 2005 :(

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,148 ✭✭✭✭KnifeWRENCH


    7 down, 3 to go.
    Monday's Multivariable Calculus was epic. Question 2 must have been the easiest, sexiest and most delicious question in exam history. So at least I'll have one good result at then end of an otherwise disappointing month.

    Differential Equations is up next on Friday. It's a subject I've never been strong at, so much study will need to be done tonight, tomorrow and Friday morning to get through it.
