Is anyone else feeling really, really down?

LivingDeadGirl

I do all honours and Maths is by far my worst subjects so yeah I reckon so. I got 485 in the pres but had some help from cheat threads here.....

Aye it doesn't say you need maths afaik.

Jesus that's so weird, I always thought you needed to pass it at either honours or pass level! That's such a relief thanks guys. I'm still worried as I don't wanna fail obviously but that's some good news at least.

No biggie if you fail unless you're using it for points - use this info to calm you down but still do your best to pass it as every little helps and you must be prepared to have it safely passed if possible if you opt for a course change or a career swap where it may be called on!

Everyone deserved a break yesterday. I had a nap, played some Call of Duty then went out with my friends for a spin, went to the pub for a friends birthday and had a few quiet drinks with 10 or so friends. Came home, had a great sleep and just sitting here on boards helping people and getting helped, I'm happy with the day so far

Just sleep rather than strain yourself. Do whatever calms you. Have a shower and a bite to eat and try again. Using the book does sound a bit dodge at this stage, maybe work on some notes? Just writing things out ingrains them in your mind anyway.

The exams are making me really tired....Instead of studying yesterday I napped for a few hours, then I did a tiny bit of biology and went to bed for 11 hours

exactly the same - trying desperately to learn off an irish essay but its just not going in. My neck and head hurt too, I feel dizzy and just want to sleep.
Really feel like dropping to pass irish now, but I'm afraid i'll need it for points, if any of my other exams go badly. :mad:

If you're tired - SLEEP!

Do not feel guilty for being tired, just deal with it the right way and relax then go again later. If you sleep now, you can stay up a bit later tonight. It's 4pm, I do most of my revision between 9pm and 1am for example because I nap or at least lie in bed for a while after eating during these exams

I feel the same,, I just hit a slump I think but I've wasted so much time yestarday and today coz of it, I just dont want to do anything but I know that I have to and knowing that I've maths paper 2 tomorrow's making me panic and feel way worse. Hoping that getting maths over me will bring me out of it a bit though.

I agree and disagree. If you need to get study done and feel you have enough energy, then do it. I'm going to bed at 12 and getting up at 6, then go to school and do a bit of pre-exam revision. Don't worry about being tired, the fear will get you up and out of bed to work the next morning. I know it works for me.

The darkest hour is before the dawn. Just keep reminding yourself that you are nearly there. The worst is over and you'll be on holidays very soon.

If you did ordinary all you had to do was learn off formulae and write them down and sub in stuff; even with my huge curly writing it only took up two cue-cards of notes that I only revised this morning. Can't act like it was the paper's fault.

No . . . . I did higher .. . . .

LivingDeadGirl

Yeah it was not a friendly paper but I don't think I failed, cause I got all of the vectors question right and probably about 40% in every other question through (a) parts and attempt marks. Irish was awesome, my essay was only about 320 words as I went blank towards the end but I aced the listening and comprehehnsions.

Is anyone else ready to collapse from sheer exhaustion!? I'm just soooooo tired... but off I must trudge to try and beat some Irish literature into my head! The one thing I can't wait to do when I finish up my exams next thursday is just SLEEP for a few days :P Anyone else the same?

Yeah I'm really tired even though I haven't done any non-core subjects. . . . . Can't wait to burn my books . . .

Just remember this, alot of people in schools across the country will claim that such a paper was dead easy and they will get an A or B, when in reality, they found it tough or difficult, but obviously wont admit it. I'm not one of those people, but with a few people I know, I can tell when they're BS'ing. Your not the only one worried, I could fail maths after my shamble P2 attempt.

happyhappyhappy

I'm wrecked..absolutely pooped from everything..so I know how everyone else is feeling!

uch...maths 1 didn't go great at all and like someone said everyone else thought it was easy!!
Maths 2 was better (thank god) and Irish 1 was manageable!

I'm not looking forward to Irish 2 or French!

Not finished til the 18th either

Oddly enough I'm less worried about doing **** in Physics (which I will) and more worried about not doing really well in History.

man your presumptuous! Kinda funny though that they proved you wrong.:pac:
and anyways, people at ordinary may just have found the paper difficult. end of. there is understanding and method to it, its not just pick a formula and sub in. so im asking you very nicely to not act like you are so much better than everybody else, and that everybody else is stupid, that pass math is only "two cue-cards" worth of notes. if you were that amazing youd be in honours. i'll be looking forward to your A1, a genius like you would never make slip ups.;)

and just because i know your going to claim in saying this because i probably failed math, i got 84% in my mocks and think i got around the same this time.
