Post Common Test Medicore Results Analysis and a Haiku :(

Didn't do too well.
I think I have hit a wall.
The problem is me.


AM: 83.5%
Hoped to get : >90%
Est. Class Avg: 93%
Excuse(s): Carelessness snowballing from somewhere in the middle of the question to the end of it, Overlooked "impending motion downward" in the friction question.

ASAS: 76%
Hoped to get : >95%
Est. Class Avg: 85%
Excuse(s): Time constraints. Rushed the Method of members question and shear stress question, lost about 1/3 of the total marks achievable in that section.
Overconfidence. Studied for over a week and even made notes. However, was careless in MCQ section, lost 4 marks despite knowing the answers. Also could not describe the bladder fuel cell (removable fuel tanks stored in wings). Answers not having close enough wording to Lecturers, so got pricked 1 mark at a time for many questions.

ED: 79%
Hoped to get: >90%
Est. Class Avg: 87%
Excuse(s): Overlooked the given value and found values for wrong shaft in the systems bearings part of the question, think I got slightly less than half the total marks achievable for that. Forgot to complete the very 1st question, wrote out all the workings except the answer. Amounts to major carelessness.

SOM: 93%
Hoped to get: >95%
Est. Class Avg: 95%
Excuse(s): Messed up the angle of twist part of the 2nd question because I calculated the required stuff looking from opposing directions and forgot to factor that in later...

CADM: 43 of 50% total weightage included so far (I think)
Hoped to get: 47%
Est. Class Avg: 47%
Excuse(s): Just too damn S-L-O-W. Not proficient enough in ProE Wildfire 3.0 .
