Flunked
I now know exactly how does one feels, when even after studying for hours at a stretch, compromising on sleep for that, and moreover doing absolutely nothing else apart from cramming, you appear in a quiz where you can’t answer even a single a single question properly!! Damn =(
‘Business Statistics’ is giving sleepless nights to most of us here. Most of the junta didn’t even slept yes’day night. But, kya fayada hua? Zilch!
As a result, most of the junta here now feels, why study at all, when you know that you are going to be screwed whatever you do - prepare or not prepare. So, the mantra here is shifting to - its better to enjoy life, watch movies, and then flunk, rather than work hard without getting results. Kuch satisfaction to ho!! Right? LOL =)

Business Statistics sure brings a chill down ppl’s spines. I know the first exam I took, I had to stay up the whole night also…and was so scared. Luckily I didn’t flunk;)…infact, by the end of the semester, I was totally in love with the subject. So an advice from a pro;)…hang in there, and get the grasp of the subject….it’s just the surface that’s scary…as u get deep into it, it’s not as bad…try it out:)

Mannat: In my case, the issue is not that I’m finding it difficult to understand what’s there in the book. Till today morning, I was pretty confident. But, when you realize that the level of paper is much, much more than what you expect, and what even the prescribed book doesn’t teaches, motivation to study this subject goes down. And, its the case with everybody out here today.
Anyways, i have other tests to clear as well. Wait for my next post!

With my association with a few IITian’s I learned one thing… IIT doesnt give you the fish, but teaches you to fish.. so you never sleep hungry all your life…

Urvish: Exactly. That’s what I have found here. To do well, you really have to be on your toes everytime!

Hey Manpreet
Just kidding. It’s okay, it happens to everyone (except me, of course):razz: So, have you decided to go unprepared for the future exams? I would recommend that. Why waste time over something that’s useless. Way to go!:mrgreen:
YOU flunked?

Aaina: Don’t say, that you have never flunked in an exam!!
Yes, either I will go unprepared or will have to find some way out. Can’t just wait to get butchered in the slaughterhouse. I have to do something.

ya ya ya…blame it on the toughness of the exam:mrgreen:. Pehle Pune ghumte rehnaa…and then u come up with all this excuses:mrgreen:.
Vaise I am sure,…flunking has it’s own charm…never went through it (and as far as I know, I am done with the studies for my life..so I am all clear:razz:)…but should be fun boasting about it…what say??:lol:
Anyways…another protected post…what’s up with that?? Send the password, please.

Arre kitna sab kuch ho gays since I came back from yesterday!!!!!!!! Manpreete, password protected post???
Please pass me the password.
Second you went back to your old template???
Yeh kya hua?? Kyon hua? Kaise hua?
Third, it was ur first exam right? On the first exam its hard to judge how the paper is going to be.. expectations can be anywhere..now that you know the level of the paper..your preparation can be much much better…if you want some tips from an alumni IITian..i can ask Neeraj.
You let me know.
All the very best Manpreete! You are very talented..don’t worry agli baar mast karogai!
Send me the pwd!!!!!!

Mannat: Hehe =) Yeah to hai, I could have done a little better if I had studied more sincerely. But, as you see, yahan log 5 din padh ke bhi fail ho rahe hain. Main to sirf 1.5 din padha tha. I didn’t had to work too hard to flunk in a test
And, I completely agree with you flunking do have a snob value. School, Engg mein to sab fail hote hain. MBA mein fail hone ke liye, one needs additional skills.

Poonam: Bore ho raha tha.. to I thought why not change to the old template. Bus aise hi change kar diya =)
Naah it was my 6th exam since I came here. I did fairly ok in the previous exams. Actually, we have 5 subjects in this term. And, only in this subject, I don’t know how to clear the test.
Anyways, will have to work out a strategy for this.
Mannat/Poonam: Have sent mails to both of you. Check it out!

Flunking n I go hand in hand, no worries at all. Actually I totally condmen the formal education system, its just a tp. All the things v cram, do not help us in a significant way during our non-education time of the life.
