Title: Good luck with your exams guys
Post by: kiwichris on June 08, 2009, 12:14:57 AM
Well, Exams are almost over. I hope you guys gave it all you have got.

My wife told me to do my best hand writing and explain things a bit better than I did last time.

These exams are hard and they test us to our fullest extent. And  there are some worthless questions in these exams. But the thing is, we have to try our best and get on with it.

I honestly know what you are going through. I've sat every exam (some more than once).

The sad thing is that most of us know what we are talking about, but will still not pass.

I say........... reward yourself regardless.
Go skiing, fishing, a weekend away, a nice dinner, hang out with friends family, whatever.

You  are committed to this, most of this is the most important thing to us.

You done your best.

You haven't failed. You have prepared yourself for the future. You have gone through some stressful study and probably a lot of personal self-reflexion. 

Thats huge, thats really important.

Like everyone of you guys, I have to wait 2 months before I know the results.

Get on with life, relax. Theres nothing else you can do. If you have to, study again in september.

Remember. you're one of the best trained tradesman in the WORLD! No shit.
NZ produces the best.


All the best, and reward yourselves

KC

I just sat my Drainlaying exam, I couldn't believe the exam was like a book! 13 of us sat it and only 5 actually finished it in 3 hours. They had questions in there worth 1/2 a point?? I feel sorry for all those that didn't finish it! Like you Chris Imma relax now cant be bothered stressing for 2 months! Good luck to you dude! by the way if any one else sat the drainlaying I would love to hear what you think!  :-\

That sounds really hard out...........

I'd love to know what others thought of that

Thats right.... chill out now, nothing you can do.

The chances are we'll set exams again for the same paper.

But we get better a it :-)
