So lads,

How are your exams? Are you one of the poor souls still doing them?

In a few hours I'm sitting the very last exam of the last year of my MEng.

Finalist here, all done. Waiting out for news of my classification, currently averaging above 70 so fingers crossed for a first.

Good luck lad.

Got first one in a week and a bit, don't really feel prepared enough yet though... a second would do me great.

Had my first exam this morning. It was the wrong one, I thought I had my ancient epic exam on Friday and drama today. But it was ok because my main man Homer is my 9 to 5 and I'd like more time to revise tragedy anyway. Think I beasted it.

Good luck to the anons waiting for their results and those yet to sit.

I have one tomorrow and then my last one on Friday.

It's not as nervey as I was expecting it to be, but at 26 I assume I'm just more able to deal with the stress.

I had two exams.

I revised for weeks for exam A, thinking it was first.

I got there, exam A notes in hand, and it turns out it was exam B first, which I'd done no work for.

Ended up having to blag this politics essay. Had my results back today and got a 51, which all things considered isn't fucking bad. I went to a few lectures and did no revision. Got a 60 overall for the module, and it brought me up to a 2:1 for my overall degree classification. Barely.

I know that by now you're in your exam and writing, but good luck, lad.

I've completed my exams and just handed in the last of my essays. I'm fairly confident I did well in everything, and I've really pulled out all the stops this year. Crossing my fingers for at least a 2:1 overall, and depending on whether things fall right, maybe even a first.

I've actually been puzzling over how the classifications are worked out.

>I've actually been puzzling over how the classifications are worked out.

Contact your department admin bods and ask, if it isn't in your handbook/intranet. My Uni is split 1/2/4 in terms of the weighting of years - pretty standard and I think the standard for any University of London college.

I'm currently sat next to a muppet mate who's failed a level 3 NVQ test half a dozen times because my braindead, bullying, dyslexic excuse for a teacher managed to "lose" a significant portion of my work. It's my fault for basically bollocking my own tutor in front of the class for telling us to copy work from previous years, trying to force me to re-do work because I got too many questions right and general foolery (And you know it's justified when no one thinks you're a nob for it and most chime in).

As an up and coming teenlad looking to do a HNC/HND course next year at a (Hopefully) better college, is it all this woefully inept? Is it a midlands thing? Was working alongside an NVQ just an astoundingly poor decision vs finishing my A-levels and taking the academic route?

Help for me God's sake
