Result

Visible to anyone in the world
Edited by Neil Anderson, Tuesday, 2 Aug 2011, 14:07

Got a grade 2 for M257, 81 for the OES, 4 marks short of a distinction. Shouldn't have walked out of the exam after only 2 hours then should I!

Still, very pleased. The exam contained many sections that could be termed waffly where marks could ooze away easily. Such is the way with exams [and CMAs]. You just have to accept that this is the way of things.

What's slightly annoying is that it doesn't seem that we are going to be getting any feedback about our marks. I do like to wallow in my errors.

Another 20 points on the road!

Wow

Visible to anyone in the world

Finished in under two hours and time for a check of the paper. Usually I'm still writing when the 'stop writing now' announcement. Never had any time to look back before.

Very fair exam I thought, no spinballs.

I'll write a proper post later, after a wee drinkee wink

Tomorrow...

Visible to anyone in the world

We play at exams.

I've spent the best part of this week haunting the course-fora trying to learn/be helpful. This has been the first course [for me] in a while where revision has been a soo shared thing. I'm reminded of the web apps..

Whatever my result I've enjoyed this course; I've met, and coded with some great people. Tonight I just feel a savage joy that tomorrow I'll be tested. Probably some adrenaline/cider thing.

I'll write a proper post soon, but I'll say this: when a group of people wish to achieve something they will.

Was a bad thing, will be a bad thing, and, if I'm any good, will be a good thing.
