Exams are over....for now

It's been over a month now since we sat and passed our level 1 exams.  The results came out mid April and not surprisingly Rach scored the highest with me a close (ish) second.  In fact, Rach scored the highest out of anyone in the country (97%) and I was second in the country (95%), and overall the Entabeni school had 4 of the top 5 marks, so this does speak well for the course.  Rach is such a brainy young girl!

These scores do reflect how hard we both worked rather than how easy the exam was (honest!).  The pass mark is set at 75% so students really do fail this exam.  I guess we were lucky in some ways as we are so interested in the subjects we were studying so the learning was never really a chore.  The scores though do emphasise how much we have learnt over the past 4 months and how much more we now know about the bush :)

Late March we also both passed our SESSETA competency tests - this now allows us to shoot .22 rifles.  This then leads on to the  .375 rifles (elephant guns).  But that's a different story :)
