So today I sat my first exam in about 10 years, and the first non-engineering exam in about 15 years. By non-engineering I mean one where you cant just put numbers in the answers, I actually had to write essays and I tell you my hand hurt!! I mean who actually writes anything of any length with a pen and paper these days, I certainly don’t. So sitting there and writing for nigh on 3 hours solid was a bit of a challenge. Perhaps before my next exam I should practice sticking needles in my hand as part of my preparation!
I didn’t have a hell of a lot of time to prepare so I was a bit stressed anyways, and once I read the exam questions I found I’d managed to study just about everything except what the questions were about, but I gave it my best crack and cant do better than that. I spent the last 10 minutes after I finished quickly marking my own work, gave myself 49%, I just need 40% to pass the course so fingers crossed I wasn’t too easy on myself.
