Not really, not finishing means you have no gumption. If I fail to finish a marathon. I have both failed and not finished. A bit like you and school.

I finished school. Sorry to disappoint you. Lol.

If you fail to finish a marathon, you fail at finishing. You do not fail the race because you have not FINISHED the race.

In order to FAIL a test, you must complete it. If you do not complete it, it's incomplete.

If you do not complete a test in the UK and fail to get over a certain percentage correct.... You fail. This guy in my Classics class didn't write anything in his exam... He failed. hmm

The Canadian System of Education hands out I's if something is unfinished beyond it's due date. (I = Incomplete)

I believe you're educated ❌
Really 😐

Not from an examiners point of view. Failiure to complete a test means you fail the examination.

College? University?

I entered BCIT when I turned nineteen. (British Columbia Institute of Technology).

It's a Polytechnic Institute, to be precise.

Actually, if you fail to complete an examination, you fail to complete it. ROFL!

You don't actually fail the initial examination.

Of course you do. You don't get a certificate. That's failiure. You don't have certificates so you failed.

[B]And I's mean something other than failure? Is an "I" worth more than a Fail?

I = Incomplete.

It means you did not complete a particular exam/test/project. I don't know how it works, what they do or what happens because I have not received an "I".

And you exited a week later? Or you completed the course successfully?

I completed it successfully and I have a great job.

So, how about you? What level of schooling are you at?

A poly 😆 I think he's already a failiure.

No, you're wrong. If you've in-completed a test, you have not finished it. Failure is different.

In order to fail at an experiment, for example, you must first complete the experiment by adding the ingredients and such. If you leave it there, it doesn't mean you failed. You can come back to it and add ingredients later.

I studied two kinds of Biology, before going on to do research I have graduate and post grad qualifications from three Universities in England.

In England till 1990 Polys were the poor relations to Universities. They became the new Universities which are the poor relations to the old ones.

I'm at 6th form, I've received offers from university and will hopefully be going to Edinburgh University to take Biology in the summer.

Nice! I may be undergoing a career change once I establish this one. I want to become either a Computer software engineer or a Computer System Analysis.
