BTW, Good luck, even though you’ll get a good grade ;)

I’m in the same situation. Feels like Roman times, the profesors are the lions and you the gladiator in the arena. Hope to see no flesh! Remember you know the case more than the judges. Good luke

Sharing tribulations is one of the best ways to minimise their psychological impact.

I’m sure that rain is a good omen. We had this severe draught in Barcelona that almost became a crisis and we’ve just had the most rainy May in the last 25 years, tripling the water reserves. I have no doubt that rain is good, and the trees in the garden seem to have noticed it too :)

Good luck to you too. Let’s hope that we can celebrate it in summer.

We’ve torn the case studies apart, rebuilt them, I even think we could tell you about the ancestry of the person who wrote them!

Haven’t done an exam in 21 years so it will be exciting. However this time is not like then; we’re not being tested on our knowledge but on our experience and learning in applying it in a consultancy style approach.

I think if everyone reads the questions, has some time management, and answers what is asked they’ll be alright.

Good luck!

P.S. It’s pouring with rain in Henley today – good omen I hope.
