It's offical..
Got my mark back from ABSA after two freaking weeks of waiting (the last class waited 3 days..)
12 out of 20 people passed was the first thing I heard, which is a pretty low pass rate. Generally the marks are between 65 and 75 from what I can tell, even with a good pass rate, 65% being the minimum pass mark. That made me sweat a good bit.
I got a 74, Which means I as long as I pay my dues every three years I am from this point on a licensed 4th class power engineer. What a relief it was to see that mark. As far as I know I'm in the high scoring bracket. I hadn't felt that bad about an exam in a while. It was almost like walking into the exam for a different course.
I probably don't seem that excited, it's just that I got off nightshift and am worn down. X3 Shutdown has started early which means everyone works a modified shift with lots of mandatory overtime. I have 8 more 12 hour shifts to go before I get 2 days off again, and another 9 days on after that before I get 2 off. I'm basically working the entire month of april straight and only go back to regular shift in May. It will be brutal but I'm expecting a few $3000+ cheques from it, depending on how it falls and if I choose to bank some of those days as time off instead.
Can't wait to see that 4th class ticket come in the mail. Bedtimes I think, now. @_@
