One Down

The easiest of our exams - econometrics - is done with. I think I got about 60 or 70 points. The thing with 'metrics is that you can't solve questions unless you're brilliant. If you know the procedure, then you use it. And we were allowed a large cheat sheet, so I had some of the procedures written down. But if you don't know the procedure, the chances of you actually solving the problem in the half hour allotted to each question are slim to none. One thing I like about Genghis Khan's exams, though, is that he alots one point per minute - so you know if you spend 30 minutes on a 10-point subproblem, you're wasting time. This was a 180 minute exam.
