Church of Fools. I don't think I'm going to get any more work done today.

My exam this afternoon was Likelihood Inference (statistics) and it was probably the least bad so far. Section A was quite sketchy, but the bits I could do overall were enough to keep me occupied for most of the exam. I don't know that I necessarily did much better in this exam, I expected long before I started my exams it was one I might fail, especially since I got the lowest coursework mark in the group (34%). However, it at least felt like a proper exam and not at total washout.

My exam this morning (Rings) didn't go very well. It was I module where I had a very high mark in the coursework (76%) so I was more confident in this than the others, but I found I couldn't do very much because I couldn't remember some basic definitions (field, automorphism, characteristic).
Basically if I'd been doing coursework I could have looked them up and understood the definition in 2 seconds flat, but I wasn't I was doing an exam and I didn't know them well enough...

My exam today (Stochastic Processes) went fairly disastrously if I'm honest. All I could answer were bits and bobs of questions and I certainly couldn't complete very much of the (harder) section B. Tomorrow afternoon I have Generalised Linear Models, which I did very badly in the coursework for which counted for 30%. After the last two exams I'm not very confident of passing it.

My exam today was Probability and Measure (Math 313), and it went pretty badly. Not that I didn't expect it to, I only did this module because I had to do one module in Analysis, and I hadn't felt that my revision in it had gone that well. I did probably only about half of Section A (which counts for 40%) and even less of section B (which counts for 60%). Tomorrow I have my first morning exam, and it will be in Statistics so I hope it will go better.
