Haih............................................ I guess now is a good time to curl up into a ball and be miserable.
Firstly, I did not imagine that the exam venue would look like this

So I was busy being overwhelmed by the sheer size and all of the place, I didn't realise it was reading time. And then when writing time started, the dude on the distant PA system said one word and sent off a storm of page flipping and pencil scratching and more page flipping so i started off disorientated, confused and irritated. The exam was okay. Though less than 10 minutes before the end I still had my last question to go and I turned the page in the answer book and realised I had no paper left. So I waved my hand like a maniac and a kindly old lady shuffled over, and then disappeared, and shuffled back whereby I gratefully grabbed the answer book from her ready to write, but right before I could even scribble in the question number she stopped me with a loud 'Ah!' and made me flip to the cover page to fill in:
Name:
Enrolment number:
Course code:
Title:
And if that wasn't enough, I have a new addition to my experience list.
...I guess it had to happen sometime.
5 min to the end of the exam you're rushing through the last question, hand desperately trying to put/push/force words onto paper, eyes flicking back and forth between script and question and watch, watching the seconds tick, 2 minutes to go... done. With a minute to spare. Triumphantly you put down your pen and give a sigh of relief, then look back down at your paper, and see the words: "Part A".
Then and again, I don't really have anything to regret w/r revision. Lessons learnt today are:
-DONT BOTHER TRYING TO DRAW NICE GRAPHS WITH RULER AND MULTIPLE ONES AT THAT TO EXPLORE THE CHANGES TO EVERY SINGLE VARIABLE
And it wasn't really that bad. I hope. Calculations have told me that to get a H1 apparently I have room to lose around 30 marks. Hopefully, I didn't go that badly...
