Sounds like you did perfectly fine. Passing is passing. I still haven't figured out how your system works entirely, but I guess same as everywhere else, it seems unfairly skewed towards some majors. Studying is good. Good luck!
in the end the only subject i failed is the easiest and the least i thought i'd fail, Ecology :o. i passed all the others fortunately. but traveling with that teacher in a few hours so he's gonna be interrogated quite a bit >:D. out of the only three who failed, two of us go there. i guess it's pretty similar, though something that friends from other countries always tell me, is that we have way too many exams, and too many hours of classes. the bright side is that college is free, so i don't really mind expanding one year more (not worth the stress rushing, it hit my health quite a bit last week). aka, next year i will directly not start all possible subjects, but kick them to 2013.
Aww, everyone has free college but us! But definitely means you should take your time. It's a rough and unpleasant world out there and might as well enjoy your youth.
Hi, gavrieel@deviantart.com here. Officially stalking you now here ;)
Ah, uni life. The examination session at my uni starts only next week and students are already freaking out. Hope it all went well for you in the end. I think that here the only study areas where passing borderline is actually higher than 60% are medicine and veterinary. But when students perform really bad during an exam, they sometimes lower it to 50%.
heya! welcome here :D i just added you to a couple of groups that allow you to read certain protected entries, i do these in order to avoid stalkers of the bad kind, he he ^^
yeah, that end of semester was like giving birth, not to mention we got a long expanssion of all subjects but one :/ by the second date for finals we were still having modular exams, which totally restrained us. and in the end i could only do a single final, making it an accumulation of ¡8! to still pass, so next month i will be well entertained xD i don't think i i'll be able to take on 8 finals, but i'll take as many as i can. yeah, I heard some careers that pass an exam that's 50% well done, unfortunately not the case for us ^^;. and yes! idk about Veterinary here, but in Medicine, they need 70/100 to pass as well.
You have stalkers? :O I think I managed to avoid them myself. yeah, I think >.>;
Don't they overdo it a bit? Although, I don't think it's much better for students here. They have one more week to get credit for their classes so that they could take exams. Fortunately for them there should be no more than 5 exams, though.
The only reason why they go do to 50% is that students are bad :/ It doesn't look well if 90% of students fail, so they have to find some way to get round the problem.
I only know about Veterinary, because a friend studied it. But it makes sense, no matter how you look at it. If you are to be a doctor or a vet, 60% is not enough when a life is involved. I think that in many cases it's 90% then.
you may read funny stories about a person named Daina in the future xD idk if her, or some of her friends, was putting my already weirdly written LJ entries into Translate.google.com for especially inaccurate results! (as well as a few more dramazies). but yeah, also as a way to protect privacy, anyone could watch us after all ^^;
yep, my career is way too compressed in time and should last longer which would imply upgrading the title. we're always running against the calendar and there's just too much content to swallow, but yeah, the exam system is really like that in my country yet i could swear some teachers have an exam+essay fetish o_0;
