Update re: Nestie exam juju
Okay, so I didn't technically pass... yet. Along with about 80% of the class. The bulk of the class (and I mean a HUGE bulk) got in the 60s... Yeah, it was that sucky.
However, we usually get points back when they throw out questions (last year, for this same exam, they threw out 14 questions!), so I'm waiting to hear how many points we get back (each question is worth 2 points). I know of 2 that are 99.9% definitely getting thrown out. And even if they didn't give us back any points, I'm in OK shape for the comprehensive final, so I'm not freaking out.
This exam really did suck @ss. So far, I have only heard of 7 people who passed it (and they didn't pass by a lot) out of 57 students.
So I'm thinking the juju worked still! Thanks, Ladies!

Holy crap- WORST EXAM EVER!!!
Kudos to you though, for toughing it out and doing as well as you did- it sounds like a lot of others did far worse than you, and you'll gain enough points back with the throw-outs to be in decent shape. Concentrating my Juju on good throwouts to push your grade up farther, hang in there! Oh, and go have yourself a tall, frosty beverage girl!

wow...that sounds intense...I can't even imagine taking on the pressure of exams ever again, so I admire you right off the bat
sounds like things will work out in the end <fingers crossed> - and I'll throw one of these your way, too
That sounds miserable-- I'm sure it's relieving getting it over with though... You're almost done, right?!
I have a couple more weeks. One more exam left that counts 25% of my grade. Depending on how many points I get back for this exam today, I could be sitting pretty for the final. If not, then I'll just be mildly annoyed for the final.
So it's not a test that will break me. But man, it would be nice not to have to sweat the final at all.
This school is brutal though. One of my classmates got expelled today and nobody can figure out why-- if it's what we suspect it's for, it makes NO sense and is not fair. This place just sucks your will to live. But the end goal is going to make it all worth it!
