Exam Experience

I have been wanting to blog about this during my exams, but first I want to yell "I AM DONE!!!"

<PWednesday, April 26. The first exam I had was "Real Analysis". I was a little worried, but not that much. Although it is a tough courseit’s not as bad as some people say it is. I actually enjoyed it quite a bit. The thing I was worried about was that the term tests we had were too long: 50 mins for 3 questions. Fortunately, there were 7 questions on the exam, and it was 3 hours. Also, the questions weren’t terribly difficult. So that was nice.

Friday, April 28. I had two exams that day, two economics exams. "Economics of Organizations" was in the morning, followed by "Financial Economics II: Corporate Finance". Both are 2 hour exams, and the relieve I had from Wednesday’s exam boosted my confidence. The morning exam was what I expected; it was just like the term tests, and I thought I studied well. The afternoon exam, Corporate Finance, was brutal. Really brutal. I’m serious. The 2 hour exam was 36 pages…36!!! I couldn’t finish it. Most other people couldn’t, so I hope the professor boosts everyone’s marks.

Monday, May 1. This was the day I feared most. The exam was "Mathematical Theory of Finance", a 3 hour, open book exam. We could bring anything. I brought my notes, some had laptops. The good thing was that it is only worth 25%. I was prepared to die. However, it turned out alright. The notes didn’t help much (as expected), but the qeustions were pretty straight forward.

Tuesday, May 2. The last exam was "Complex Variables". The course was never hard. It is like adding i to ordinary calculus. The exam went smoothly, although I was quite sleep since it was from 7:00 to 10:00 pm.

So there it is. My exam experience. What’s up next? Job search. If you know of a good job, let me know.
