Life @ April 2009 Semester Finals
Tuesday, August 25, 2009
sorry for boring posts about the exam. I still remember the term 2 post that I will prepare by next week.
in day 2 of the war that is the semesteral finals, a dramatic twist of fate ensued, with the offensive clearly on the side of the opposition.
the Financial Management paper raised the toll of casualties, mainly because of my scattered careless mistakes that took out 1-3 marks each.
of course, nothing could win the mother of all armies, the time value of money question at a staggering 17 marks. while there are four major parts to it which are only partially interconnected and gives you chance to prevent a snowballing of mistakes, answers range from 3000+, 1000+, 500+, 300+, 100+ and even a particular 9.63.
what is even more interesting about it is that because the answers are all so diverse, nobody knew if anybody got the correct answer! I only know of one person who has the same answer as me.
I estimate a score between low B to an A for this one for me, mainly because of the amount of extremely dumb careless mistakes (when I was reviewing the paper just now I felt like slapping myself) and the unidentifed object that is the time value of money.
the final battle will take place at the top of the hill (literally since its the exam hall at Block 53 Level 8) on friday, which I am the least confident about. shall put the relatively generous amounts of preparation time to good use..
