Mid-term exams

The main reason for my long disappearance from blogging is due to mid-term exams. I had five different exams held over a period of two weeks. Managing People for High Performance, Managerial Economics and Data & Decision was held the week before. Financial Management and Accounting for Managers was held last week.

I was mugging through the last two weeks, skipping parties and dinner invitations. I have been quite consistent with assignments every week so I have managed to get the concepts of most classes, but I have not been up and ahead on my readings and revisions. So I spent the last two weeks really catching up. It was pretty tiring so I learnt my lesson. I need to catch up with readings and revision and assignments every week, not only when the exams are near.

Comparing with NUS Engineering whereby the lecturers ask questions on anything and everything unexpected under the sun, the five exams were manageble. If you have studied, you will definitely pass and even get a good grade. I did pretty average in most subjects, so I need to buck up for the finals. At present I am pretty busy with syndicate assignments due in a couple of weeks. After that, I will be mugging again for the final exams in early December. It is only a month away... hectic hectic MBA life.
