Re: R&S 4.0 review

I just have seen my score report. I don't know what to think now. Totally
unexpected report.
I really don't understand the metod they use when they assigning points to
exam. Does anybody know?
Topics that I was convinced I did correctly, they don't think so. Topics I
know that I screwed, I got some points. Honestly, my score report is much
worst than last time. OEQ? I was sure that I'll pass. Well, I was wrong :)
One more failure and I'll get frustrated and my motivation will start
falling down.
