I'm an Idiot

[dhdev (Oli)]

Just had my first 2hr exam of the semester, walked out with a swagger cos it was so easy after 1hr 06mins. I'm strolling home on the phone to the other half, telling her how amazing I am, when the penny drops........I only answered 3 instead of 4 of the 7 questions ****ing **** :mad::mad::mad:
My own stupid fault, but now instead of using this module to improve the average grade I'll be lucky to get a 2.2 in it :cry::cry::cry:

Ouch......

[~~joycey~~]

Doh!

[hc coupe]

ARGH, I did it before, never turned the last page over.When I left everyone asks about a question I didn't even read.

Hope you done well on the three you did...

[dhdev (Oli)]

Ouch and Doh! sum it up nicely :(

[Pistol Pete]

Oooops....

[L14MNP]

:( Hopefully you will still have done well enough dude!

[Lauren]

Yes you are. :p

[Southie]

What a numpty ;)

Does this affect the rest of your exams then?

[brainsnova]

last time i done an exam many moons ago i was swinging on my chair and fell off and the examiner burst out laughing lol

[Jack]

When I did my HND a fella did exactly the same thing. His face when he realised what he'd done was a picture lol

They gave him a 0 for not completing the exam correctly BUT they did allow him a free retest in the summer, which he then passed.

[dhdev (Oli)]

They take an average across the modules, 10 modules this year count for approx 18% of my degree, so in the big scheme of things its not a big problem, just funking annoying. I need an average of 50% (IIRC) to continue on the MEng course as opposed to 40% for the BEng, to none uni students this will sound easy, but trust me its not! I'm aiming for high 60's/low 70's but it would have been nice to have this one in the bag as they get harder from here :tard:
On this module alone the affect will be as follows:-
Max 75%
if I answer 80% correct (a bloody high %) then I get 60% for the exam
if I answer 70% correct (minimum first class) then I get 53%
and 60% would give me a real world 45% :(

Fail..?(no pun)

[FUSION X16XE]

You doosh bag!

[bmw156]

not good dude, what subject are you studying, and in my degree i have NO exams at all in 3 years and my dissertation is only 8000 words, which im now starting lol

[kelbelle]

In my degree, in the first year the grades from essays and exams didnt count towards my final grade. 2nd year was 30% and 3rd year (this year) is 70%. Pity this is the year im ****ing up :(

[Matt]

Gutted for you missing a whole question fella! lol

I'm in my first year of my Architectural Technology degree of which we don't have exams for. So as this is the exam period I now have 2 weeks off until semester 2 starts :cool:. Don't have any in the summer either so I'm going to end having just over 4 months off in the summer! Good times!

:p

[scott.parker]

Oh dear, oh dear Mr Danker, im sure you feel bit of a plonker...

Is there any way you could explain to the bord what happend and try re-sit it??

Good luck though mate.

Scott

[dhdev (Oli)]

I emailed the lecturer before the exam had finished lol But he said it was tough luck, which I expected tbh.

[scott.parker]

Gash!
Oh well dude, just means you will pay much more attention in the future exams eh.

Was each question 25 marks each??
TBH if you're **** hot you'll get 65/70%

Final year exams?

P.S You won't do that again will ya ;)

[dhdev (Oli)]

I got 62% in the module that I missed 25% of in the exam. So that'd equate to 83%, really could've done with that to bring the average up :( Learnt my lesson!

[Spudly]

Thats still not too bad a score to say you missed part of it off dude, just have to make sure you score as much as you can for the rest of it all now!

[dhdev (Oli)]

True that, really need to pull my finger out my bum now!

[MK999]

You still on the part of the course where doing as little work as possible to hit 40% is the aim? or is it counting towards the degree? lol (might have been answered earlier on, i'll admit to only reading the first/last post)

[dhdev (Oli)]

This is second year now, so it starts to count (although only marginally). I still managed to hit 40% in one module though :(

[MK999]

That sucks then :( Least it's only marginally counting though, give the rest of the exams a decent go and and balls out in the last year and you're laughing :thumb:

[andrew1988]

I did something very similar to this in my exams at christmas. Missed 25% of exam but came out with a high 60/low 70 luckily

What course you doing?

[Count Vaux Alot]

You really dropped that like it was hot....major bum.
