Two exams in the same day. Hoy hoy. Economics wasn't too bad. I reckon I'll get 80ish percent or something maybe. Most of the questions were super easy, but a few were tricky.

But maths.... well.... after the exam I didn't speak to anyone who finished it. Everyone guessed a few. Everyone was remembering ones they'd done wrong as soon as they walked out. Bloody 3.75 minutes per question is totally insane. I spent 20 minutes on one matrix problem. I had the time to spare, because it was at the end, but I could have gone back and checked the whole paper again. I probably should have. Have I said that I hate matrices?

I got really stressed because I thought we had 60 minutes when we actually had 75 minutes. I was giving myself 4 minutes per question, and and trying to squeeze 20 questions into 60 minutes. It didn't work that well. Then with 10 minutes to go, I had two great bloody matrix questions to do, and I knew I didn't have a hope. Except out of the blue, Louis (the funny annuity lecturer) said "You have 25 minutes to go". I was so happy. I laughed out loud and people looked at me. I thought "I'll be fine. Plenty of time." Then I spent the next 20 minutes on the next (and second-last) question and felt stupid all over again. But I think I got that one right, and made a reasonable guess for the last one. I'll be happy if I get more than 60%. And over the moon with more than 75%.
