How long will you need to wait to find out if you passed ? I always found that waiting was the worst part.

June. The department marks all the exam papers for the whole year in one big go, presumably because they have a bit of a lull then (or it's the latest they can get away with doing it).

Oh my. Do you feel like it went well enough ?

Hmm. Probably. I probably passed.

I've had several months since finding out I failed to get perspective and figure out my life in a way that doesn't depend on having a master's degree (which is fine, because I mostly did this MSc in order to explore arcane compsci topics for the last time before having to get a Real Job, which I managed to do in the end so yay).

That's a great way to look at it ! Looks like things will work out just fine no matter what then.
