Yeah I'm pretty much done with exams. Just waiting for my grades to post. So far I know I got an A- in History and a B+ in Stats. Not too bad.
Got a tip for us?

Ah, I live in the US, and I wouldn't be taking Common Entrance of course (are those UK only??), I'm taking exams administered by the school.G99 said:I'm trying for St.Paul's School. Are you going for anyone in particular? Anyway, I got to do Maths, English, Latin, French, Ancient Greek, Geography, History, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. If I get Cs across the board, I'm in. A single fail grade i.e D/E, means I'm not in. I'm slightly nervous
If I got Cs across the board.... I have no clue what would happen, b/c I have a straight A average as of now, and I'm not sure if schools get specifically the exam grades... the exam might just average into the semester... then I'd probably have Bs or low As.... The "independent" school I want to go to is actually in my city, a day school not boarding, but it's still a good school, and highly regarded academically within Nashville, which actually.... offers a few good academic oppurtunities considering the rednecks Nashville is surrouned in. And good luck on getting in! St. Paul looks great!
Done, and done.
Until Monday
When the first summer session starts. @ least the campus has great, er um, aesthetic qualities in the humitidy ridden months ahead. Plus, Captain Morgan loves doing her distraction training on campus

Is it true that in Oz they have the Semesters the other way around. I.e. Bugger off time off during the middle of the year and loads at the end over the hot days and Christmas?
I've got a whopping four months off coming up. I don't know what I'm going to do with myself!!!
The exam went crap too. I had six pages of complex equations to learn and I'm pants at learning equations. When I first looked through the paper I realised I knew how to do everything. Then when I started writing I realised I didn't know the equations I needed. Result? Probably about 50% if I'm lucky when I could have got 80% if I'd know the equations. Really frustrating.

Yep, that's how it works. Mar - May is first semester, Jul - Oct is second semester and between Nov and Feb it's summer holidays. Mind you these are uni semesters. Schools follow similar dates, though they are broken up into 4 terms and they don't get as much vacation time.
I have exams in the next 2 weeks... actually one exam next week and 4 the week after!
First week:
Logic Design
Second Week:
Electrical Circuits 2
Linear Algebra
Introductory Statistics
Differential Equations
Very funny, the easiest subject left all alone in the first week, and the tough ones all in one week (Well, statistics is easy, VERY easy, but I just don't like it)

LOL I always do the exact same thing for my classes. I even have this little excel spreadsheet set up to help me figure it out.devilot said:Just found out tonight (it's a night class) that I can get a 45% on my stats final exam and still get an A in the class. Whew. What a relief.
Thank you! Good luck with your exams too!amateurmacfreak said:Ah, I live in the US, and I wouldn't be taking Common Entrance of course (are those UK only??), I'm taking exams administered by the school.

Sounds nice!! I've only touched on fluid mechanics in an elements of maths module and had to write a project on vorticity and the such, it was quite cool I thought. Wouldn't want to be doing an exam in it though!! Good luck!!
