Dutch Exams

Considering a lot of the posters here are Dutch I figured I'd make a thread about the most important period of our (last) year, our final exams.

Today I had Nederlands (Dutch) and others had Biologie (Biology), and there were also different subjects but for Havo/VMBO and I don't know what they had. (Feel free to add those)

The answers were online in like 30 minutes after the exams. I checked and it told me I should expect a grade between 7.1 and 9.0
I really hope it's at least a 7.1 because that would mean I'd average a 7.5 which will be 'rounded up' (?) to an 8.

Tomorrow is Latin and Management&Organization. I loathe M&O, hate it with a passion. Don't get along with the teacher, always sucked in it :( Not going to be a fun day tomorrow.

So how did you guys do?

IIRC it was physics/dutch and another one.

I never had M&O so goodluck with that man, go study xD For my exams I studied maybe 30mins each :P All exams were around 6.5-7.5 IIRC so what ever ^^

I'm not studying for M&O. I die inside when I do and I like to be alive :sohappy:
I need a 4.7 for a 'voldoende'. If I don't get a 4.7 then no biggie either, if Dutch is a 7.1 it will compensate and carry :)

(I thought there were more Dutch people doing exams right now, oh well)

Nederlands was easy, atleast a 7, hoping for a 7,8 which makes my average 7.5.

Tomorrow I got Latin and M&O, which are the two biggest exams for me. especially Latin, the amount of shit we need to know is really ridiculous, it's just too much. need a 4,0+ to make a 6+.

as for M&O, i'm quite good at it, so not really scared to fail for that. 4,3 + makes a 6+.

the only thing I'm scared of is Wiskunde B, got an average of 3,6 :(

I took some exams faster.(?)(versnellen) My school was one of the 12 pilot schools in Holland where students were allowed to take exams faster because they were good in it. So I did Dutch and Deutsch :P
Still to go: physics, maths, chemistry and English.

Good luck all exam-people!

@ marijn: So I take it you had different exams as well?
I wouldn't be too thrilled to get anything different than the rest of the country. Might be harder, and if it's a hard exam I want the favorable 'n-term'.
But on the other hand it's nice to be able to spread out the exams more. (My schedule is pretty nice though)

@heroo, good luck with wiskunde B then. Cutting it pretty close there.

Yeh it were "staatsexamens". Had nothing to do with the normal ones, and they weren't checked by the regular teachers.
Two 7's on my final list :)

Had Netherlands today (HAVO), at the time i was making the exam i thought it went like shit. Afterwards i checked the answers online and i was pretty statisfied, cause the majority of my answers were correct.

I have math tomorrow, i'm already prepared for it so i don't need to study much anymore. I'm not really afraid of it unlike most of the people in my class.

M&O went pretty good :)
I haven't and won't check the answers online. I'm still sure it's going to be 4.7+ :D

M&O also went pretty good for me, but I forgot to make the questions about the 'hypotheek', that were such easy questions, i'm a moron -.-

I think it's because I had Latin before and I was seriously f*cked up, was f*cking tired and could only think of sleep.

You didn't see them, or skipped them for later and forgot them?
I just checked and I saw that I did the Farking bruto kosten line wrong. So Farking stupid :x

I didn't see them, but thet problem is we had so many f*cking papers, en ze waren niet aan elkaar geniet, so it was a chaos on my desk. I also didn't have time to check, because my ''Restultatenrekening'' wasn't what it should be, I came €5000 short and couldn't discover what I was doing wrong, so the last 30 minutes I was only focussing on that question.

wahh.. that's two years ago for me....

Damn, I did pretty well, all my exams (Dutch, Biology, English and health) went pretty good, all 6~9 so I could screw up my Math (3.8 if I remember correctly)
God, Math is such a drag... all those dumb questions about other people.. (Carl is digging a pond in his garden. he wants to put planks around it as a border. they will be standing vertically and all have a width of 23cm. his pond is around .... meters. how many planks will he need?? I just answered: it's his freakin' pond, let him do it himself that lazy *****! well, I stayed friendlier but that is about it...) I'm too lazy and to go through such a drag, should've went for History in stead of Maths...
