Preliminary Examination sa EE 201

It's already prelims, and I must be ready for every subject in my major. Letting my guard down will cause me problems in the future. At the very moment I took the test in Differential Equations, I already studied in the library for my test in Electrical Circuits. I got very low scores from my previous 2 quizzes so I need to get a high score for this one. After 2 hours of studying, I finally went home and studied again. My brother told me to concentrate on Maxwell and Nodal because it is very hard If I don't know how to solve problems with that. I studied until 1:00AM and finally go to bed. The next morning, my dorm mate asked me who my professor is, I answered him, "Sir Go." He told me that Sir Go isn't his professor in EE 201 when he was still studying but he gave me a very useful advice. "Rhenz, R equivalent is very important. Practice Delta - Wye." With that, I already went to school and studied at the library for the prelims in EE.

A problem in the book is consist of a very hard circuit with complicated resistors. I tried to solve it and think for myself, "If I could solve this complicated one, I may pass his test." I finally solved it in 30 minutes and I felt that I'm already ready for the test.

3:00PM, It's already time to take the test. I'm looking for Christian in the classroom but it seems he isn't there to give me advices during his test. The bell rang. Each students from 3EEA was guided to the staircase so no leakage will be done. Now, its our turn.

Number 1, it seems to be the easy part of the test. I answered it in 10 minutes because its just an arrangement of equation in the KCL and KVL. Number 2-4, Maxwell and Nodal, its good to know that I had practice with this. It took me 1 hour to answer this three questions. Number 5, a circuit that seems very familiar. Right! This is the circuit I solved when I was in the library. I answered it within 15 minutes and finally, the last question. This seems to be a bonus question so few of us will fail the test. I stared to it for about 10 minutes. 10 minutes have passed and still I don't know how to solve it. Finally, I, being a bad student, wrote this on my paper. "Ayan, time na." when there is still several minutes left so it may look that I'm smart.:) After the test, I smilingly walk outside the room thinking if it is because of my luck, or my hardwork.

After 1 week, the papers we're returned. Few only answered the bonus question and my result?
99/100.^^
