As the announcement of result creeps closer I am tempted to reflect on my attempt and conduct a
quantitative self evaluation. My goal is to be able to compare my own standards with that of the examiners (after the announcement of results) so that I have a better understanding of what is required for any future attempts.
The following self evaluation is based on a thorough examination of the questions that I attempted as well as the answers that I committed to my answer booklets.

I encourage others to share their self-evals before the announcement of results as well. Consider it an exercise in caliberating yourself to the requirements of the examiners.
