Surprised there isn't one already.
The usual 'how'd it go' and 'im so screwed for<...>' thread.

First exam tomorrow (Datastructures) and it's going to be the hardest, should be handy enough after that.

Datastructures is a handy exam, try Principles of programming languages or foundations of computing... They'll keep you up at night...:eek:

I'm alright for Maps, Iterators, Trees and Pattern Matching.
Tries, Graphs and the like i'm struggling with

Strategy Formulation and Implementation - BMGT30200

Identifying and analysing sources of superior profitability to firms and developing both corporate and business level strategies around them.

Brimmy · 04-05-2009 9:14pm

Awh. I thought it would have been someething cool like military strategies or something

Good luck though to you and everyone. My first one is Wednesday. *Crosses fingers*

kev_s88 · 04-05-2009 9:21pm

ugh my 2 Drama exams are gonna suck on friday and saturday..... apart from that it'll all be good....2 days of hell followed by 2 exams in 6 days to close out a great year

fatal · 04-05-2009 10:27pm

It's that time of the year again.Feels like I only got my christmas results a few weeks ago!!
Anyway,my first exam is on wednesday at 9, so i've another day and a bit to learn half the course! Good luck to everyone doing exams;)

Mr.Nice Guy · 04-05-2009 11:25pm

First one for me is on Thursday at 9. Politics exam on the Sovereign State. We were told essentially what's coming up but I still feel like I'm screwed. Not looking forward to it at all.

WHY IS THERE SO MUCH GREAT SPORT ON AT THIS TIME OF YEAR?!

GobBass · 04-05-2009 11:59pm

One on Wednesday (German Political Culture) - (9-11) and then a week off...

...then on the following Wednesday I got the Macroeconomics exam (12-2) which should be hilarious considering about 5 out of 250+ people took down Frank Walsh's MCQ sample Q&A...

..then the next day is Film Studies (12-2) in which I will hopefully do well in as I got quite good marks in the buildup.

On That Same day at 6-8 lies my second German language exam which should also be hilarious considering not a single positive review coming out of the orals with the exception of the hardcore/fluent/went to a German school types.

Then finally on Friday..I go round 2 with Moore McDowell on the Micro resit (3-5) and then stroll outta Simmonscourt and then freak out about what the hell I did wrong.

One this week. 4 exams in three days next week...no pressure:eek::eek::eek:

I didn't know the beginning of summer was gonna have THIS much fun in it.:(

Get some sleep, you'll feel better in the morning.

Me, I'm pretty happy with the way it's going. Only major concern is STAT20060 (Statistics for Engineers) on Friday. Anyone else who was on that course this semester will understand why, but it will shortly pass in to legend, and time heals all wounds, they say.

Theresalwaysone · 05-05-2009 7:59am

Accounting 3 in t-minus 1 hr. Siiiiick. Im so fúcked.

Then Strategy later. All hype imo. Porter is the king of stating the obvious. Genius made a living from it. Well done sir.

2 hours to go.

=(

Mushy · 05-05-2009 10:27am

First one not till thursday, and then thats arguably the easiest exam for me, and only 1 hour. Am getting steadily through other subjects, have enough time to finish off the studying and and re-cap once over again.

Good luck to everyone else too!

princess-sprkle · 05-05-2009 10:35am

i've my first one in an hour and a half, not really worried since i know exactly whats coming up but i still feel really nervous. second one tomorrow then i'm done! apart from my thesis

dhaddock · 05-05-2009 6:22pm

data structures was grand I thought. Except for the greedy question!! He mentioned that on the last day and then threw it in as mandatory :eek:

Dave! · 05-05-2009 6:58pm

Had my Operating Systems exam on Friday... Failed it like there's no tomorrow. Only had 25% (from possible 70%) going in, the exam was worth 30%. I didn't even answer enough questions to pass it, and those that I did answer I just guessed.

So f*cked. Just hope I can scrape a compensation.

3 exams left, starting Saturday with Asia & Australia.

Thomas_S_Hunterson · 05-05-2009 7:18pm

Got my first tomorrow, elective. Been to zero lectures.

dhaddock · 05-05-2009 7:24pm

is it quantative economics by any chance?? Im exactly the same!

dmigsy · 05-05-2009 7:26pm

Just 2 exams. In the space of 5 hours next Wednesday.:rolleyes:

That's the one. I'll probably kill myself with shame if I don't get an A+:pac:

SRFC90 · 05-05-2009 7:36pm

I've that as well. Bloody hell I havn't a clue what the story is with that at all. And the classes I've been to there's been an average attendance of 11.

nah mate, theres nothing cool about it! and its 10 credits:(

the mcq was hard, i had an idea of one of the answers the other 24 were guessed. compulsary q was easy and the other 2 i did were ok but not great. pretty bad exam overall in my opinion!
the rest should be a bit better though..

This what we all thought last semester. Went to a few lectures, couple of tutorials, laughed at the p1ss easiness of it (yes, simultaneous equations, ooh hard....)
Ah, the look on our faces when we all left that exam convinced we'd all failed....
I passed - just about....that taught me my lesson:o
