Exam aftermath~

First of all, my thanks to all my friends, colleagues and superiors who gave me their best wishes before I sat for the paper today. Definitely helped a lot in giving me the confidence for the paper.

Thanks to those who took the time to pray for me as well. :) 

Where should I start? Let me see........... Opening the page of the question paper was like hitting the ignite switch of a bomb. I for one was not expecting a lengthy 4-page case study. Despite the given 15 minutes reading time, I spent a good 10 minutes digesting the case study. Not to mention, there was only 5 minutes left to look at the other remaining questions. 

15 minutes up announces the head invigilator; time to start penning my answers. Since it was 50 marks for the first question and 25 marks for the last two questions respectively, that means 1 1/2 hours for the first questions and 45 minutes each for the last two questions. 

Naturally, most of us would expect a lot of information in the case study (4 pages!!!!!). Either I wasn't catching the information effectively or the examiner hid the information very well. I got slapped with bounded rationality with so much details in the case study making it extremely difficult to pinpoint what details were important and what details were not. :S

A lot of time was wasted trying to think of how to tackle the case study question. I ended up taking 2 hours to write out the answer and that was after skipping certain parts in between. 45 minutes was the time taken for the second question as allocated but the last question had to completed in 30 minutes. By the time I got to the last question, I think I was writing as fast and as much as I can without really thinking thoroughly but just throwing whatever relevant information I could to answer the question. 

By the time the head invigilator announced time's up and stop writing, I continued writing until my answer script was pretty much was snatched from my table. I might have left a pretty nice long line on the last page since I was still writing when the answer script was taken away from me. 

I have done what I can throughout the 6 months semester, attending classes, doing tutorials, constant revision. Whether I pass is entirely out of my control....... let's just see what God decides for me. :)

All said and done, have to thank God for keeping me calm and focused throughout the paper. There were short periods of time I just felt like giving up but I found the strength to push through. Thank You very much!!!!!!!
