Our P2 grades are out! I did much better than P1, doubling my previous GPA. As regular readers know, I was very sick in P1 when I took my exams, so this is highly encouraging news to me. It means there is HOPE…
Beyond simply staying healthy during the P2 exams, there were other factors which helped me improve:
- The presence of more qualititative subjects
- Much better class participation grades (I got 9/10 for Operations and 88% for Marketing), because I spoke up more.
- Better time management, which meant I had more time to spend revising
- I studied more. I did as many practice exercises as I could get my hands on. It seems pretty obvious but in a crash course like INSEAD, time simply flies and before you know it, it’s exam time.
Amazingly, my best subject this term was not Leading Organisations (as I had hoped), despite getting close to full marks for my individual essay. My best subject was …. Managerial Accounting!! How did that happen?!? :P It is one of life’s great mysteries. Maybe quantitative stuff isn’t so bad after all.
This has put a stride back in my step. Now I just need to focus, continue doing what I did in P2, doing it better and doing more of it.
Onwards and upwards!!!
