    Seems the stress was all for nothing, though. I did pass all 5 of those horrid six-hour exams and even managed to net myself a top 10 position in SA for my efforts.
    A BIG Congrats Mark - You are going to do very well

    Thanks everyone.

    Unfortunately not. BCompt Honours must be one of the few courses where you can get a bunch of 60s and still place top 10. I think there may be 2 people in the country that graduated Cum Laude. I did finish my degree Cum Laude though, but that's just the degree.

    I don't plan on it! I'm not a fan of top-down corporate structure.

    Well done the course and the volume of learning must be great that so few people got Cum Laude. When do you write the board exam?
    My daughter graduated last year BSc IT honours with Cum Laude and there were at least 6 of them who got it at UJ.
    Only stress when you can change the outcome!

    That's a brilliant achievement to have graduated any honours course Cum Laude! I guess the BCompt course is just really tough. The volume is absolutely immense.

    We write the board exam late in January. Around the 23rd, if I'm not mistaken.

    I'm sure you don't need this advice, but just in case you get tempted - this really isn't the way to tender your resignation.

    Ah, man. Reading this thread has brought back so many memories. I've been so absent from TFSA for the last few years as things have become busier. How many of you old faithfuls are still around?

    I want to update this thread! So much has happened in the last 4 years. I will start writing something soon.
