Results

Finally the Semester 2 results have been released. Only at least three weeks late, and with the usual amount of cockups - including a half-hour queue outside the office before they deigned to hand over the paperwork. British Rail at their finest couldn’t have been more disorganised and less customer-focussed.

Having said all that, the results themselves were roughly as I’d expected - although the distribution of marks made for interesting reading, and make me wonder if there hadn’t been some exam board-adjustment going on. I pulled off a 75 in Strategic Management, which means either that a) I completely misread my performance in the multiple-choice section and did better than I realised; b) crashed and burned in the MC section but then produced two Oscar-winning performances in the essay questions; or c) did as well as I thought I had in the essay questions and the MC scores mysteriously disappeared. Draw your own conclusions, I know which one I suspect.

So overall, I’m pleased - I’m still on-target for a distinction, and should have maintained my #2 position in the cohort as far as I’m aware. It takes the pressure off to an extent as far as the dissertation is concerned, which has to be good news if recent progress is anything to go by.
