This exam, that exam, everything exam, exam. UL students have exams, e, i, e, i, oh!

Chris Martin

This one is my last one now,
4 of 4,
Doesn't feel like holidays yet,
Hopefully will tomorrow

By the way I'm copying out all Aplia Q & A's as we speak,
Hoping a few of them might be repeats,
Midway through second test, can send them on if you want?

Cosmicfox

Lucky you :P

I'm actually looking through aplia now some questions won't say were I went wrong so if you could that'd be great.

Chris Martin

It's just basically Q and correct answer,
Seldom goes into much detail,
And some of the questions are taken out of context like,
"Which of these is INCORRECT," I've only put down the incorrect one out of the group, besides that should be alright...
Hope it helps and will throw up 3 and 4 when I have them done

Cosmicfox

Thanks very much .

I think I'm still probably going to fail anyway though, I found this worse than the microeconomics and I wasn't keen on that either.

Do you know how much the aplia exams are worth overall?

Chris Martin

Prefered Micro to this as well,
And this was supposed to be easier

Aplia Exams are 40%, 10% for each test,
So say you got an average of 70% (ambitious) over the 4 exams,
You'll have 28% got already.

Test itself will be Multiple Choice Qs but with negative marking,
Have to be pretty careful and know I'll be leaving a few I haven't a notion about, out.

Cosmicfox

I think there's more graphs this time round that all start looking the same.

I left out far too many on my aplia tests so I'll probably do the same here.

Chris Martin

There was no negative marking for Aplia tests!
A lot of answers I guessed (correctly) and got marks for, and many more incorrectly, and got nothing. If you skipped questions you didn't know on your Aplia tests you're at a serious disadvantage, they should've probably been more clear.

What I do is leave out Q's I don't have a notion on,
Those ones where I think I can cancel at least an answer, maybe two, I put a mark beside and return to later, and just answer ones I know without thinking straight away... That way you can work out how many you actually need to make your pass, and if at any stage you feel you have the comp pass of 30% made, you can stop altogether and don't even try and guess any, as negative marks may drag you down. I think (but not certain) that there's 40 MCQs. Meaning there's 1.5% going for each. If you can work out what you've got from Aplia and add your definite answers to it, try and get at least around 35/40 mark, then you can choose to stop there, if you don't need QCA.
I'm in lucky position where I'm able to ride off first semesters and lucky exam this semester's QCA

Cosmicfox

FFS, I just assumed there was. Actually really annoyed about that now.

I do need QCA as well since I'm doing Co-op next spring

Chris Martin

That's tough going alright

Have a pretty reasonable QCA myself actually,
What QCA do you need actually to go on Co op next year or is there a limit?

Cosmicfox

I'm not actually sure, they've never mentioned it so I'll just ask at my interview next week. It's abroad too so I don't think it will be enough. These exams haven't gone well so far.

TheGunns

Last one on Saturday, havent done anything. Having a brick here

Never say never
Would like to go abroad in 3rd year...
Provided I get that far :P
Surprisingly, exams have treated me quite kindly, or so I think,
Fingers crossed to tomorrow to complete the quad
In first year doesn't matter for me at all, which is a shame because I think I may have just got over 3.0, if results go my way, and this final exam stays on course with the rest

Going to look into Co op over the Summer, see if I can learn the ins and outs of it before I decide to do it. Wish I'd a fluent second language though...

Cosmicfox

Hopefully, I have to go as part of my course so if they can't find me anything I may as well drop out since it's the whole reason I picked it. CV isn't too rosy, can't drive and now these exams aren't going well so I don't have that much hope :P.

Co-op has seemed pretty vague so far, which isn't great.

Spanish this Friday which I'm dreading and the Law and finally finished. I hope all the people not turning up for any law lectures makes the grading a bit easier.

Chris Martin

I know what you mean
Best of luck with it though,
Hopefully they're pretty lenient

Lets get tomorrow out of the way first.. :P
Here's 3rd test and literally can't stay awake any longer..
Stayed up last night to study for todays exam so awake about 30 odd hours, don't thing my body's able for back to back all nighters, and I sure as hell don't want to test it in a hall full of students in case I do collapse... :P
Might wake up later, finish and post it, but for now really need some sleep...
If I don't talk before tomorrow, the best of luck in the test, and in your Spanish and Law ones

Cosmicfox

Thanks again I'm gonna stay up and cram til about 2 or so.

Best of luck to you too.

Ave Sodalis

All finished up

chrislad

I'm finishing up on Saturday, should be out by 10, half 10 at the latest! It's been a week since my last one, just trying to keep focus on this weeks one has been an examinable action in itself!

Chris Martin

^^^
Don't like massive breaks between exams,
I proper slack off :P

Done now myself,
At home, in bed, watching TV and can officially say I'm done..
Worry now later

One more tomorrow too, at 9. Good luck! It sucks sitting exams right up to the last day.

PunkFreud

Had an exam at 9 this morning, but I'll be home free after a lab exam starting at 3! I started on the first day, so this has been my longest exam period.

Cosmicfox

FINALLY. Not even sure if I'm coming back next semester but it's great to have it over and done with.
