So in January I had the first two final exams of my degree.
One module (Parasitology) was 80% exam and 20% coursework. I had done really well in the coursework, and revised loads for the exam, but still thought it could've gone better.
The other module was 50% exam and coursework and I did relativley ok in the coursework, but the exam went terribly. I was really worried that I'd failed it, or that I hadn't achieved good enough marks to come out with a 2:1 in my degree and get a 2:2 instead. Basically, a 2:2 in my degree makes it worthless and shuts me out of a lot of my desired job paths, so I was pretty bummed.
My results came out yesterday and I got 70 in Parasitology and 62 in Marine Zoology! These marks are way better than I hoped for and if I can repeat the performance with the two modules I've just started, I can get a 2:1 after all! biggrin
[I'm not sure if everyone knows degree classification so suffice it to say: a first class degree is 70%+, a higher second class (2:1) is 60%-69%, a lower second class (2:2) is 50%-59% and a third class is 40%-49%.]

The period between your exams and the day you receive your results is always so nerve-wracking, isn't it? Congratulations on the good results! =)

@Milk: I wasn't too concerned, I was actually at trampolining practicing when my friend texted me and just said, "They're out.". That's when my adrenaline levels soared xd
@Aaditya: Yup! Hopefully a 2(i) BSc (Hons) in Zoology biggrin
@White wolf: Aww, you can't know it till you get the results, this thread is testament to that, you might do better than you thought! Good luck with them, I hope they go well for you smile
@Lici: THANKS biggrin
I've started two more modules this semester that are meant to get high marks, but at the same time I have to write my honours project dissertation so if I can keep on top of it all, I'll hopefully be ok biggrin
