MT365 CMA43 marked

100%, so now I have 56.65% towards OCAS. I'm aiming for 70% which will give me a chance (however unlikely) of a grade 2 in the exam. Any higher than that is not going to have an effect on the overall outcome.

New website launched for the Open University

It seems there are more than 2 people reading my blog after all :-)

I was contacted by the OU and asked if I would mention that they have launched a new website aimed at prospective students from outside of the UK and Ireland.

The link below will take you straight to it...

http://www.openuniversity.edu/

I also added a permanent link to the website below my summary information.

MT365 TMA02 marked

A couple of silly errors (missed answering a part) meant my score was reduced to a lowly 89%. Not that I care too much since that's still up in the distinction zone, and there ain't no way I'm going to get a distinction grade in the exam.

Calculating my overall score so far, I get 46.65% (before substitution) for OCAS, and that's already over the pass mark even if I don't hand in another paper, so I should be looking at well over 70% for OCAS in the end.

MT365 CMA43 done, one more CMA to go

I got this one in early by about 6 weeks, because I'm continuing with my 4 weeks on MT365 followed by 4 weeks on M366 strategy and had just about completed the MT365 block whilst answering this CMA as I went along. So now 3 of the 4 CMA's are done.

M336 TMA02 marked

99% WTF! I've never scored that high in a Maths TMA before, and what's more, I'm finding this module really tough. I was honestly expecting around 70% for this TMA, but I'll take 99% thank you very much.

This means I already have over the 40% I need for the OCAS part of this module. I can relax a little bit I think.

MT365 2nd CMA result

I scored 95% for this. I'm not sure where I went wrong, as I was half-expecting to get 100%. The feedback isn't available yet, so I'll have to check it later.

So 1 x TMA and 2 x CMA's are marked, and I've already got 33.3% towards the 40% required for a minimum pass of the OCAS (continual assessment) part. For me, it's really all about how well I perform in the exam, which is not usually that great with the maths.

Halfway there

Both TMA02's in the post, and CMA02 submitted before Xmas. This year is going fast. Just 5 months to the exams.
