Please tell me you all screwed the whole thing up :(

Nah jk, but seriously, I sucked. I just blanked at a couple of questions and tried to draw diagrams for some things and failed miserably so just wrote really long explanations. How'd you guys go?

Didn't finish + So screwed = Fail

That's about all I learnt all semester.

EDIT:  Though I did improve my maths as you can see.  lol.  I'm such an optimist.

It seems so easy until you actually have to do the exam...

Oh god. That was an awful exam - made up a whole load of rubbish for the whole of section B and didn't even understand how to answer Part A of C2. Lost heaps of marks on MC already :( Overall, screwed - that was not a nice exam.

But Calculus went OK I think...how'd you find it Gloamglozer?

WOW! I'd love a 60 in Microeconomics. I spent most of yesterday panicking that I failed :(

I know! I was having problems with MC at first so I decided to do part B first to get some confidence. But WTH, part B was just insane. I couldn't even do like the first 2 questions.

I got a 60 in Microeconomics in 2008 and I had no clue what was going on.
WORST SUBJECT EVER.

Yeah don't worry too much, I remember getting fairly stressed after last years exam as it was pretty tough, and ended up with like high 70's (i think, can't quite remember).

I missed out a 6 mark question too.

Look forward to Intro Macro, its amazingly fun (totally serious there).

But don't look forward for Organisational Behaviour, unless you enjoy your lecturers literally trying to fail you.

Yes, it was an awful exam on the account that section C was very long.  Personally, I found that the questions provided almost the same standard as those questions provided last year (one or two a little easier - like that game theory one in part C) but just the length of the exam was just terrible.

With Calculus 1, I did my best.  Integration and vectors (if I got them correct) is where I'll get my marks, but everywhere else, I'll sink and drown

But don't look forward for Organisational Behaviour, unless you enjoy your lecturers literally trying to fail you.

I heard it was exceptionally boring and subjective.
