The last couple of weeks I spent most of my time studying for my exams. Every eight weeks I have an exam week at college. I had 12 exams, most of them related to aviation in some way. In comparison to last year, this year will be a challenge for all of us. For most of the exams I already have my grades, and I must say that I’m pretty satisfied about the achieved results.

All grades are on a scale from one to ten

At the moment these are the highest grades of our class. I’ve heard rumours that people are cheating during the exams, I don’t know if it’s true, but I will never do it. I rather get a 6 for an exam without cheating than an 8 while cheating. Besides I like to play it fair, with cheating you won’t gain any knowledge.

When you fail for an exam, you’ll get a second chance. If you also fail for the second chance, you’ll get a third chance. If you’re not able to pass the third offer, you have to leave college and start another education. This means when you have to leave in your second school year, you’ve wasted two years of going to college, and ending up without a degree.

The fact that it’s more difficult than last year, is good, if you ask me. It might sound a bit odd, but the more challenging it is, the more motivated I’ll get.
