and it's going to be a rant OTL
So much regret after the stats exam yesterday. You honestly cannot waste a second or you will never finish, it's honestly jam packed. I already lost 6 marks purely due to wrong or no working so I can kiss my 92 goodbye T_T I knew ANOVA would be my downfall because it was the first thing we learnt (so you forget a lot) but wow they put so many trick questions in our paper. I screwed up the very first question and it took me half an hour to fix my ANOVA table. Half an hour!! And that just rolled on and ruined the rest of my exam. But I had to fix it or that whole section would have been screwed. After that half hour I had the most painful headache ever, it honestly felt like my mind was filled with heavy fog and I couldn't really think clearly the rest of the exam x_x
Ironically regression was my best section. It's ironic because for the prac exam and assignment on regression I got full marks even though I didn't really know if what I was doing was right. Regression is too broad because of picking variables, so as long as you justify it correctly you can be right. There was one question I didn't do because it was talking about assumptions of independent observations or whatever and we never learnt this??
Aaaaaand matrices was my last part which I thought would be okay except they really trolled it and the matrix we had to inverse was ugly and I wasted 15 minutes trying to row reduce it, it never worked and I gave up and used my method (and finally got it). Then the next one we had to solve, after I row reduced it I got a row of zeros = no solution and I was like omg what this is worth 3 marks it can't end like this. But I didn't have time to redo and check :/ Doesn't seem right for the question to say "solve" and to get no solution... == Worst part was when I just had two lines to go in my proof for the very last question and then it was pens down sigh. First time not finishing stats I'm so sad. Also why in the matrices section do we have to do like a whole page of working out for just two marks? Crazy.
Oh lol, what I like about steady state vector questions is the weird things they get us to prove. Like the question we did was "in the long run, how many days a week will be rainy?" Based on the probability that when it's sunny, 70% chance it will be sunny next day and 30% it will be rainy. The answer is in the long run there will be 3 days a week that is rainy = almost half a week isn't that crazy! (If it were true LOL). Oh btw my stomach never ended up growling, just goes to show my stomach isn't really working properly right now.
Anyway, I literally studied the whole day (12 hours) on structure and function and thought the info was sinking in until I looked at this past paper and now I'm dying on the inside. Tomorrow's is "only" 40% (midsem was 30%) so it feels like not much difference but I honestly suck at gastrointestinal tract and the heart. Oh dear the heart, I really can't learn it. I'm still scarred from when we did it in year 8 and I failed it horribly. It doesn't help that some questions are so specific and are worth 8 or 9 marks so if you really don't know you're actually screwed. There's just too many questions.
And day after tomorrow is VETS (cell bio) and it's 60%.... And I honestly haven't really studied so what's going to happen to me T_T Of all the things to put last it really should not have been vets.
