Victory Again

I guess my good days have begun! Prepared as I was, the results seem deserving. But, it was quite tough. Few of the questions required more than computing intelligence and some where really confusing. I am glad that I came out with no more than 3 mistakes even though there's room for a lot of improvement.

Calculating marks:-

Quiz - 15%
ISAS - 10%
MT1 - 25%
MT2 - 25%
MT3 - 25%

Recalculating:-
15/100 * 76 -> 11.4
10/100 * 85 -> 8.5
25/100 * 82 -> 20.5
25/100 * 89 -> 22.25
-------------------
Aggregate = 83.53
Maximum that I can get this semester -> 87.65

My target of 85% would require 92% in MT3. I'll try hard for that one.

All preparations done

Thats about it! I am done with the revisions. Saugat got 57% and Anish secured 77%. From what shaggy told it seems the questions weren't too tough, but they were tricky. I've got to keep my cool and give the exam at my fullest. Hopefully, the efforts will payoff...

Few hours to go.

MT2's lurking in the horizon, preparation's good but the course is really mind boggling. The practice test results haven't been encouraging. But, I have completed 98% of the syllabus. Luck permitting I should be able to score in the nineties. That should be like getting two answers wrong.

This'll be really tough. I hope our efforts pay off.

Module Test 2

This'll be really tough! The length of the syllabus is more or less the same, but the complexity is much higher. However, having previous experience in C++ should be an incentive. I am well prepared, just got to recapitulate on the SQL part and wrap things up with practice tests. Its a very good opportunity to score the perfect 100, something that has always eluded me.

Due to addition of C# into our curriculum, the poor show in the quiz can be easily overshadowed. The new scheme is as follows:-
Quiz - 15%
ISAS - 10%
MT1 - 25%
MT2 - 25%
MT3 - 25%

Recalculating:-
15/100 * 76 -> 11.4
10/100 * 85 -> 8.5
25/100 * 82 -> 20.5
-------------------
Aggregate = 80.8

Maximum that I can get this semester -> 90.4

Previous aim of 85% is within reach, provided I score in the mid nineties in the next two exams.

Gotta study SQL now..
