When did NEAS exams become thread-worthy? I think remembering the date and time of the exam is the hardest part about them. Unless they've suddenly started grading homework or giving questions you haven't already seen in either the homework or the practice exams...

There were a lot of obstacles to my studying, so I'm not sure I passed

It is true, NEAS gives zero motivation to stay caught up. Homework is due whenever, and only 80% of it has to be turned in, projects (as applicable) can be turned in years after the final exam.

Right, besides I can take the exam again free of charge if I don't pass.
The homework is a joke. I mean, you don't even have to do the problems correctly.
