I am just numbed by how bad it was.

I realise ILX is not my blog.

It's just a mock but it's for the tutor who doesn't like because he thinks I'm really lazy because I was going through a nasty breakup when he was teaching me, oops.

if it's just a mock, you should enjoy your weekend.

It wasn't like "didn't know anything" bad, it was more like "didn't know anything and was a nine-year-old Romanian child with no arms to write with and English as a third language" bad.

x-post yeah i'll try, i'm really ill though.

Every term :(

It'll be fine. The exams you think you did terribly at are always fine. It's the ones you think you did well in you have to watch out for.

x-post

not quite true - I was in tears after one of my finals, and true enough, insider information confirmed that it was my worst paper by far (and everyone elses, which made me feel better)

Benefit of going to Cambridge = no collections.

Sorry, that was crap of me. Bad exams hurt, even if they might not matter.

You bunch of ponces

When I had my finals, we were given the marks for each paper individually. My worst grade by far was a D, in the prereleased general paper - which everyone else did really well in, because they'd bothered to actually do some research after receiving the questions.

(actually, that's not quite true. We got the mark for the general paper separately; for the rest, we got a mark for each course, but each course only had one paper plus coursework)

I got a 43 on my general finals paper and I thought I'd done pretty well on it at the time. This could be taken as a sign that trusting me on matters of physics is probably a bad idea, unless it's something to do with subatomic particles, galaxies or earthquakes.

Vic, if you had insider info couldn't they have got you the exam paper in advance?

(in my finals I got a 2:2 in the one paper I thought I'd got a 1st in. QED)

I just talked to the guy, it was a prearranged meeting about something else.

R: So, where you actually in that Collection, Greg?
G: Um, in body if not in spirit, yeah. I've been...
R: Yeah, that's pretty much what I figured.

Haha, wait, 'were', ugh. I regret this thread already.

― Gravel Puzzleworth (Gregory Henry), Friday, 8 October 2004 15:26 (twenty-one years ago)

I always used to come out of exams thinking I'd done the worst job humanly possible and it always turned out alright. You may have done better than you think.

― Wooden (Wooden), Friday, 8 October 2004 15:27 (twenty-one years ago)

personally i think exams are a waste of time - i've worked for over five years now and created and sold two companies. can't remember the last time i had to do an exam. frankly i can't remember the last time i used anything i learnt at school/college/uni.

The only discernable benefit I got from uni was making a couple of extremely close friends.

― Wooden (Wooden), Saturday, 9 October 2004 15:15 (twenty-one years ago)

The only place I've used anything I was taught at university has been stupid debates on internet messageboards.
