So I'm the only thicko?

nah I only went to college so....also its called street smarts

Get a load of Stephen Hawking here I left school at sixteen. That was a mistake.

I am... very uni.-educated. But, as Jaster points out, I have no street smarts at all.

First exam was a disaster. They used the acronym EMM. Now, the notes referred (very occasionally) to the "equivalent market measure", but never to the EMM. So those twelve marks were a write-off. Next one's on Monday...

Is everyone here University educated then (or planning on)?

I went to the University of Sunderland, so no.

I graduated from Uni, but things haven't really happened for me since I left. My brain has probably turned to mush since I finished Uni, but then I've had nothing to really stimulate me mentally so I wouldn't really know. I've decided to go and do a post-graduate diploma, but know I'll have to do a short course or two first.

I can't wait to graduate. I think my brain has turned to mush purely because of being in education for the past few years.

How's it going for everyone? I'm two down out of my five exam hell gauntlet, so far, so good. Tomorrow is the first exam I really don't feel I'll do well in though.

Oh yes, this thing. My other exam this time around was pathetically easy, although I'm hoping not everyone felt the same. I'm sure you'll be fine, Jay - two sorted is better than most!

The exam is on a subject is shan't be continuing into next year, and it only requires a 40% pass mark... I should be okay.

I'm just polishing off my last assignments before I go full on revision for my 5 exams starting in just over a week

I passed both my actuarial exams from last time!

Only problem is, people have stopped believing me when I say I think I've done badly.

Congratulations to you! :king:

Well done balla!  

Thanks chaps!  How did your GCSEs go NintenDUCK? Are they over yet?

Ah, meant to post in here a while back - I passed all my 5 exams! 4 Bs and an A, so very chuffed.  

Only one A? Disgraceful.

I jest, I jest. Congratulations Jay! Even if it is only Englit.

I did much worse than I expected with 4Cs a D and a condoned pass. Better get working harder next year  

Stop playing those vidjagames or 10 hrs straight and study

The secret to my success, you ask? Not owning MH3U.  

Studying just doesn't come naturally to me. I've coasted by my whole life so now I actually need to put some work in it's quite a shock!  

I graduated! I am now Rum Rapture BSc (Hons).

Congrats to RumRapture! Time really has flown, feels like yesterday when you started your course...

I only just realised I had the same problem, with a question revolving around "hicksian demand", which I got so used to recognising as compensated demand during my revision I had forgotten they were the exact same thing in the exam. So I don't know if I treated that question as if it were asking for compensated demand anyway, though it was so long ago I cannot remember.

Well done to Rum, and commiserations to Sporkhead depending on whether it mattered or not. As you can see, it didn't for me!  (is lynched)
