General - Bombing exams - View Post

Yep, I just bombed an exam, a big one too. It was 50% of a module at uni.

I based my revision on the last two exams and lecture notes, but the majority of the stuff I revised was not on the exam. It's frustrating because I think perhaps 70% of what I revised was not on the paper.

Anyway, I tallied my marks up at the end, I reckon I got 56 out of 100 because I was certain of the answers, but the other 44% was stuff I had almost no clue about so it is safe to discount most of it. I just made educated guesses that were likely to be wrong anyway. So at least it looks like I tried...

But 56% isn't enough, if I wanted a first like I am hoping I needed 73%+, 56% will likely get a 2:1.

aww pooh
