Today was the day that I was going to take my cost analysis exam. Of course I didn't get the best sleep. Had some odd dreams of cost analysis. But of course I got up in time. Took Gina for her morning walk. After that I had breakfast. Then I got to get ready. But turns out that I was a little quicker than I expected to be, because I still had about 15 minutes to kill. Spent them chilling with Gina on the couch. When she saw me leave she was not exactly a happy camper. Got to WIFI with about 20 minutes before the exam was going to start. I like to be early and have time to relax. Met up with a couple of students I was taking the class and the exam with and we killed the time just chatting. About 5 minutes before the exam started we walking in the classroom. Found my place and listened to the usual introduction. Then they gave us the exercises. I looked them through, and 3 of them were pretty much straight forward. 1 was a little more difficult and than there was the chapter with the theoretical questions. The first thing I did I went trough the theoretical questions, because these are some cheap points, that you definitely don't want to give away. I think I did fairly good on those. Although there were some questions that I just was guessing.
Then I started with the 3 practical exercises that were pretty much straight forward. And I went trough them in fairly decent amount of time. Good thing was all 3 of those exercises I had been practicing one last time on Monday. As it turns out that came in quite handy. I'm pretty confident that those 3 examples are correct. By that time a little less than about half the testing time had passed. I then went on to the example I wasn't sure about. I think I did get the first half of the question right. The second part of the question is wrong. At least I think so. At some point I think there is a failure in my starting equation. But I still did write an result down. I gave myself another 15 minutes to come up with a better starting equation, but didn't get anywhere. So I decided to leave the results for that particular question as it was. Checked again the theoretical questions and the other 3 examples. But I was fine the way it was. So I handed my work over to the testing commission, and that with still 1/2 hour testing time left. Took my place in the lobby and waited for 2 of my class colleagues to finish. We talked for about 20 minutes about the test. And we're all confident that we should have at least a passing grade. When I calculated my points it was clear that even in the case I don't get any point for the example I was having issues with, I still should have a passing grade. After that we said our good beys and headed into work. Unfortunately I won't find out till July 7th if my feeling about my grade was right or not.
