I know many people are probably expecting this to be somewhat of a rant/rage blog, but it's quite the opposite. I've done 3 of my 5 final exams so far for the semester, just finishing my 3rd exam 10ish minutes ago. I studied probably about 2-3 hours for each of them so far, so I was expecting maybe a B-/B, but I've been pleasantly surprised.
First exam: Computer components & peripherals - 83% (second highest mark in the class!)
Second exam: Voice & data structured cabling - 84% (I'm thinking top 3 in this one)
Third exam: Routing & switching III - 80% (only 6 of us in this class, and based on the midterm marks I'm thinking top 2)
Since 80-89% is an A at my college, that means I've gotten 3 A's so far, so I'm really happy at the moment ^.^. The exam I figure is the easiest is next, and then the one that I thought was going to be in the middle is the last one, so I've got a chance for straight A's on finals this semester.
After exams I'm also going on "vacation" to my dad and step-mom's with my brother, where all we will do is go to the pub and drink and such together; super excited! I've also got my easiest, and last, semester coming up next month, then I graduate too. I've got a job already lined up that I'm really stoked for, where I get to work with my friend.
Not trying to brag exactly, but I felt to need to share my happiness. Happy holidays!

Happy holidays to you too! Finals suck, especially when you have a final project/paper on top of the exam.
Last Wed/Thurs was way to crazy for me. Paper assigned monday and due thursday (7pg research on how to solve the Palestinian conflict). Wednesday I had to give an hour and a half lecture on libyan politics past and present, Final on that class (which is the only grade) on thursday, had to write an applet for my CS class (assigned monday) for thursday, and a terrible clac 2 exam on Wednesday.
My finals week will be easy compared to all that.

Just curious, what does a 90-100 count for at your school then? :o

"I only studied for 2-3 hours for each test but I managed to get A's on all of them"

Dont know how it goes in Canada, but having 80+ is already very high enough and thus high enough for an 'A' as you call it. Having 90+ is usually pretty damn rare and is still just an A. The ABCDEF counting system is just a bit of a weird system as its kinda hard to compare it to a normal 1-10 or 1-100% system.

I actually studied for -2 hours for all my exams, meaning i spent 2 hours forgetting as much as possible and still got A's
But really I always glad to hear about other people succeeding in school, I just finished my last exam yesterday and I've been crushingggggg them, so satisfying

i studi over 20 hours on each my exams.
at my college its 90 to get A though. weird

One of my friends convinced his roommate to play lol with us instead of studing for his math final and he did very bad lolo. Do i feel bad?? Hell no we won the dam games bro : )

It's always a great feeling to do well on final exams. I wasn't doing too great in my first quarter Organic Chemistry class (was getting a B), studied my ass off and aced the final and ended up with an A in the class. I was so happy. Congratulations man, I know how you feel!
|
Good job and good luck for the last two exams! Happy holidays!
|
Nice job! Canada sure has a weird grading system. An A+ in college city is basically just getting a perfect score or more than perfect score lol.

I'm pretty sure that the vast vast majority of people would be absolutely ecstatic with a B in org.
