marko Posted 16 May 2006 Posted 16 May 2006 I've got a Law exam in an hour, the stress is beginning to set in. :mad2:
Nationwider Posted 16 May 2006 Posted 16 May 2006 Please don't be sad, I was not having a pop at you, just the exam I have failed. It is quite funny, but having sat a two hour exam, and waiting for my paper to be taken from me, it emerged that 4 people had taken the wrong paper. Now that's not reading instructions. On a similar exam cock-up theme, myself and about 100 colleagues took an exam a couple of years ago - we were informed of the results via an email with a pass/fail letter attached. Yes - you guessed it. Every candidate received the wrong letter attached to their email. How the hell do you do the wrong paper? Surely you'd think "I've not revised any of this, it's Egyptology, not Maths!", etc...

( first year of AS's ) Idoits taught the wrong seilabus(sp). we learnt about population growth and Economic classes etc. Got into the exam, and was presented with a series of questions on footpaths. Was hard I failed as did alot of other people.

Thunderstorm causes roof to leak over several desks, mine included. Was told I couldn't move my desk. Handed in soggy, unreadable answers, got a "U".

I think someone did get the chop for it although I couldnt tell you who, definatley wasn't the head of the department. Wasn't exactly great for my uni prospects seeing as i disagreed with being forced to take 4 subjects when all previous years got away with three, ( I squirmed out of one somehow, failed Geogrpahy wasn't looking to good. ) although I have to say your story is better.
Guest Posted 16 May 2006 Posted 16 May 2006 How the hell do you do the wrong paper? Surely you'd think "I've not revised any of this, it's Egyptology, not Maths!", etc... You deserve to fail, in my opinion. Computing, criminal law, criminal law computing, it's all the same.
Katy Posted 16 May 2006 Posted 16 May 2006 I dont have exams until October but Im really feeling for the exam takers right now. Its 2-3 hours of silence where it's a battle between the voices in your head and the need to get concentrating on the task in hand. Good luck people!

I also have exams in October... am still waiting for the course materials to turn up though!

Nah. It was only a mock - so it didn't really matter. Some would argue GCSE's don't really matter at all?
Steven Posted 16 May 2006 Posted 16 May 2006 ' date='May 16 2006, 02:20 PM' post='316482']You try doing Mathematical Statistics B and Mathematics Of Random Events then Logic, Predicate and Propositional Calculus in all their forms was the thing I had to pay most attention to.
Anish Posted 16 May 2006 Posted 16 May 2006 My exams start in a few weeks, and my last exam is a month today. Can't wait til it's over, although I don't really get stressed for exams and I usually achieve my targets!
Ricey Posted 16 May 2006 Posted 16 May 2006 I have a resit on May 25th, I got a B in January but want an A. It will probably be the last exam I ever take which is weird to think!
Cobbo Posted 16 May 2006 Posted 16 May 2006 I don't have exams. I do have disturbing brain though, foy your information.
Head Honcho Posted 16 May 2006 Posted 16 May 2006 They are ruining my life. Ive got one tomorrow that 70% of people failed last year. Ive studied pretty hard for it but cannot grasp it at all and am resigned to the fact that im going to fail..... which possibly means goodbye to uni! Never felt so stressed before in my life! Pull yourself together man! If 70% of people failed it last year they'll obviously lower the standard for this year

Random Burglar Posted 16 May 2006 Posted 16 May 2006 I've got a Law exam in an hour, the stress is beginning to set in. :mad2: What Law exam would that be? I had one at the same time.

Random Burglar Posted 17 May 2006 Posted 17 May 2006 Business law At DMU in JSSC? If so, i would have been in the same exam
marko Posted 17 May 2006 Posted 17 May 2006 At DMU in JSSC? If so, i would have been in the same exam It most certainly was at DMU.
