Results Day!

[tinyjo]

I have been very restrained and managed to keep my checking of the OU site to twice a day ever since I noticed that my A200 result was due out by the end of this week. I checked just now having got distracted at lunchtime and, lo and behold, I got a distinction! I am so chuffed and its a first step to getting another first overall :)

I actually only got 82% in the exam and I thought I needed 85% (my source questions let me down, as I thought they would - both my essays were in the 85-100% bracket) but the FAQ says that the examiners have discretion to award a higher classification if academically justified. Looking at the overall breakdown, only 22 people were in the 85-100% bracket for the exam so I guess they decided that the boundaries were too high. Still, I'm really happy about it!

I'm dithering. I was definitely going to do French (http://www3.open.ac.uk/courses/bin/p12.dll?C01LZX120), but I'm getting a little nervous about that. Although that's partly that since finishing my exam, I've found that I'm not having such an easy time getting down to studying on my current course (Studying Mammals). But that could just be run up to Christmas busyness.

Also, I don't think I can take a course which has a formal exam next year as I may not be able to take time off in October which is rather restricting my choices!
