Exams
This section will cover my exams. I generally don’t keep the questions after the exam, so I will merely indicate the topic area and leave it at that.
Because these were written in exam conditions, they are pretty rough. Basically, you have 5 questions to choose 2 to respond to and 40 minutes to write a response. In posting these exams, I will tidy up spelling and some grammar, but leave it at that.
Semester one will be Old Testament Pentateuch through to the Ministry of the Prophets. Semester Two will be Writings and Prophets.
Exams are much more work than essays (though essays aren’t exactly a picnic either). For my semester two exams, I reckon I spent over 40 hours solid study for three subject of which I wrote two responses. I think for an essay, I spend around an hour per 100 words of writing.
During semester two 2024, I also dealt with a major technical audit and a few other significant work challenges. Pretty tired right now (Nov 2024) and looking forward to a break before an intensive in early 2025 (Philosophy and Christian Thought) and embarking on New Testament Survey courses…
Have a great and holy Christmas and New Year.
