You only left out 12 marks? I left out way more than that! Must've spent too much time on MC.
Well, they said put pens down when I still had 3 MC left to do, left out 3 marks in calculus from mental block (hence starting statistics first), and I think another 2-3 MC I 'said' I'd come back to...and never did. So basically a good 20 marks there gone :( I realised that the paper was going to be a tight one, so I started statistics first because I knew I'd be getting 60 marks right away instead of 30 (well, maybe slightly less, what with that stupid ANOVA question about why it's means and not variance, and careless mistakes).

my software exam on friday was quite easy-going.

I seriously didn't realise (or have been even told) it was an OPEN BOOK exam, so I walked in with a pen while everyone else brought in their a thousand page "Big Java" book.

I'm like "omg wtf this is so unfair!", but it was quite easy actually.

I reckon that it's a disadvantage to bring in large books because you'd spend most of the time reading the book rather than doing the questions!

I'm not freaked out about my Psyc Stats exam tomorrow... I should be because I'm failing, but I've kind of resigned myself to that. Eh. I will probably freak out at about 10pm tonight...

I've actually been reseaching non-psych subjects for next semester... I never thought I could get this sick of a subject.

Or you know when there is 10 minutes left that way you can at least do quick educated guesses.

Was at the front, couldn't really manage and the supervisor was an old hag, so I wasn't gonna try her temper.

It was stats--you have to flick to the tables and stuff so educated guesses weren't really a choice. I wanted to get everything right so that I could justify to myself that skipping a 12 mark question was worth it for getting at least a potential 20-23 marks in the MC.

I'm not freaked out...coz I'm fucking over it! I hate how vague Margaret is being about what's going to be on the exam. She gives us 2 pages of calculation questions but then says on webCT that it's going to be not many calc. and more scenario type questions. wtf?

I just wish it was a morning exam so it could be over and done with. At 5:10pm this arvo, party time until the wee hours of the morning when hopefully the Socceroos will win!!!

Done and done.... and DAMN that was a nice elective question in the EDUF1018 paper. I essentially got to rewrite my major essay.
Yeh it was great, I ended up doing the same (chose the curriculum question). Feelin' good about the compulsory question too, was good of Leslie to tell us what to study :)
