Haha if only, I skipped at least 1/3 of the paper and I'm not confident about the rest. I reckon I bombed pretty hard tbh
Apparently you may pass if there is a bell curve or anything like that. Keep your hopes up...I was aiming straight D's this semester...I think that's not gonna happen until next semester..I haven't even started my exams

Haha like half the cohort didn't finish 1/3 of my Monday exam. I'm guessing this isn't normal for a maths exam though?

may the bell curve be kind on both of us, amen

Really? I thought only the units are bell-curved, not the exam? (Damn, I hope you're right :) )

And I'm sure you've hit your goals, hope you do well!

haha was that trusts? that exam was annoying... didn't even finish reading the whole exam question in reading time and ended up skim reading q4 with something like 10 mins to go haha

still better than corps experience. Invigilator forgets to give me my script book before end of reading time. Sitting right at the back so it takes them ages to reach me. Even after telling them they seem to be in absolutely no hurry whatsoever to get me a script book.... anyone who's done a law exam knows how painful losing 5-10 mins from the exam is...

oh and the same invigilator yelled at me for filling in the front cover details (student number and such) after writing time. Fun times.

Fuck trusts. My whole right arm hurt for the rest of the night :P I'm glad I'm not the only one who found that exam ridiculously long.

Sucks about corps! I would have gone nuts at them. Hope the exam itself was good though. When I did corps the exam paper only tested approx half the course, almost had a heart attack

haha I think everyone found it long, even for law exam standards. Thing is it was only long because of how repetitive it was. Here are 5 clauses, tell us if they are valid! Done? Good, here are 4 more, do the same thing again.

Apologies on behalf of the invigilators to anyone who had an exam on the second floor of the Racecourse yesterday morning for being interrupted no less than twelve times.

After 5 or 6 times of hearing "Students sitting BMS1062, please turn to page...", all I could do was laugh.

4 printing errors, 3 duplicated multiple choice options and 5 general corrections; blech.

I was a BusEco Ambassador this year. Won't ruin anything for you, but the experience was great. The more you put into the program/get involved, the more you will get out of it.

The camp at Portsea is great. The biggest thing I got from the program was really the people you met and friendships you make. Some of my best friends have come from the program, because you'll inevitably spend a lot of time with them throughout the year.

I have one exam left on Friday but I don't need to study for it, so I'm sort of stuck in exams-but-not-exams limbo. It's weird.
