I'VE FAAAILED! I'VE FAAAILED!

Ugh.

 I had my Mechanics exam earlier today. And it was the strangest exam I've ever taken.  There was a strange and horrible anxious nervousness before it that I've never felt before, I normally just appear and do the whole exam perfectly happily and generally end up failing. Perhaps this year I really am paying more attention to my exams.

And then during the thing.. Well.  I'm normally finished with an exam [As was the case with all mocks that we did] within about 30 minutes, and then have to spend the rest of the 1:30 time period just sitting there with nothing to do.  But this was most different.  It was horrible, the time was going so much faster than normal.  I also had a small panic attack with 30 minutes to go, when I wasn't even half way through the paper.

Still, I did it.  I didn't have as much time as I'd have liked on the final questions [I think I dropped most of my marks on the last part alone], but I did finish, and I used 16 sides of paper, which is unusual for me.

My initial reaction tells me that I may have dropped only about 5 marks (On the final couple of parts), which would give me 67/72.  I'll be safe and estimate that I've got around 65/72 - A nice safe 90%.

I'll just point out that on EVERY SINGLE mock exam we've done so far for Mechanics, I've gotten 66/72 [91.67%].  On EVERY SINGLE ONE.  The same mark.

I'm hoping this one won't be any different.  91.67% would be most excellent.

I think there's a 95% chance that I've got an A, anyway, which is the best mark really.

One more exam to go. Friday, 2:15, Physics.

[Also, for the record, my rival finished way before me.  I so do hope I've beaten him.]

 

Actually, speaking of my rival.. Monday in Computing, I was waaay ahead of him with my task 3.  So hoorah, I'm counting that as another point for me. *nods*

1 - That feeling of anxious nervousness? It's called 'actually giving a shit'. I'm sure you've done fine. (Comment this)
