Just finished my financial engineering exam. Holy crap. The only time I've felt that lost on an exam was freshman year mechanics. What is the hardest exam that you have taken? Highschool is valid too.

I didn't have a dictionary and didn't have a clue what I was writing.

I failed it after studying for two weeks solid...I passed all my other exams with good/acceptable grades on less work. So yep, I have to retake it in the autumn; I'm gonna start studying as soon as this exam period is over.

...just because my dad was the teacher and examiner, and he graded me a 96/100 because he didn't want to give me a perfect score even though i did look over my left shoulder after turning on my signal and checking my rearview and sideview mirrors before maneuvering into the left turn lane

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Nov 2001 Location: Corsicana, Texas | | | I don't test well, and my P&C insurance license almost killed me. Being a state exam it was video and audio monitored. I had to sign in/out just to enter the room for any reason. Emptied my pockets and had to show I had nothing in them. Talk about stressful!
