    Thats always the way with exams isn't it? Nevermind I'm sure you've done fine anyway.

    Thanks all, hope I pass, you only have to get 50% or more. We find out in about 8 weeks then if we've failed we can sit it again (different questions!) on the morning of 26th June and our Hort 2 is in the afternoon!!

    Good luck TO. The trouble with exams is that they are a bit of a lottery. But you've often done better than you think. If not - just go again. you may get the right questions next time.

    About 100 years ago when I was doing electronics at college,we were studying valve theory(thermionic emission). The tutor held up a little device which he said was a 'transistor',but not to bother as "they would not catch on". Guess what 80% of the exam questions were about. [​IMG]
    I hope you do better than we did TO.

    I know that situation Terrier. My tutor said that he only knew about values, so that is what he was going to teach us - but as he set the exam papers that is what we were tested on.
