exam pt 1

Now its 4.30 am. I just got up like 30mins ago. Awal bh ku tidur semalam. At 8 i think. Well after 3 continuous exams my brain is pretty much exhausted. The worst thing is my hadn. 'writers cramp' as they say. Each exam 2 hrs of non-stop writing answering 2 essays. Each essay ani lagi kna liat, if nda minimum 3 then big trouble. Im really shock with some people can write up to 5-7 pages for both essays. My hands are really not fit for that. Even my brain kli. The examiner pun malar meliat aku stretching my hand every 15mins. Today was the worst. It was red all over with veins sticking out from my knuckles. HUH~

Next exam is on monday so i've got quite a bit of a rest. Plus hanging out at Apip's later does shake off the stress. Interesting i found out days before the exam is how our papers are marked. We all know that the overall mark is put into an average then it will determine whether u get a 2.1 or 2.2 or maybe an amazing 1st class. But theres also another method of marking by the markers and that is the preponderance method. Im sure most of you are not aware of this. If your department marks using this method then there is a big chance you'll end up with a 2.1 or a 1st. Its hard to explain how it works but basically the average for a 2.1 is lowered. Check your departmental booklet on marking exams. AKu pun tkajut that this type of marking exist. Well everyone is when i told them. Its just show how ignorant we are:P

Ya duds, for our faculty, social science, if you get a 57 overall, theres a chance that will be credited to a 2:1. Sounds fair :D
