Where is my post-exam Cognac? Where?

[susie_flo]

Eeeeeuuuuuuggggghhhhhhh!!!    Just had my final oral exam for the ISEB Diploma in Business Analysis.  Am feeling totally wired and simultaneously in a state of anti climax at it all being over.

Think it went ok, but won't know for sure until I get my result in 2 weeks' time.  For now I will just have to deduce whatever I can from the memory of the varied facial reactions of the two examiners who sat opposite me asking a series of increasingly hard questions!   (All time scariest point was being asked about military tactics in Iraq...   tumbleweed blew past...  several times.)

Am plagued by thoughts of all of the buzzwords I could have thrown at them and didn't.   Glen kindly sat with me until midnight last night, griling me on the finer points of strategic analysis, financial accounting, investment appraisal and systems modelling, though a lot of it didn't come up.  I also worry that I may have come across too "systemsy" at them, but I hope not.

Yeek...   fingers crossed, I guess.  

I wish I could convince one of my colleagues to skive off for an hour and have a nice restorative cognac with me....

Is there an age you get to when you don't have to do exams again? I'm still doing diving exams. I haven't had a work related exam since my PhD viva about 4 years ago now. (Thank goodness).

Oh God, I really hope so. In fact I'm praying that I have actually reached such an age and that no re-sits will be required.

Mind you, the idea of exams related to hobbies had not even occurred to me... (at least diving exams have kudos!)

Hah... "If you don't do well in your exam you will have to redo the entire year and be moved down a class to sit with tiny children." :-)

Military tactics...?

ummmmm... amazingly yes. I was somewhat dumbfounded by that line of questioning. Lets hope my lack of army awareness does not get in the way of a pass!
