Exams Mon and Tues aye...

Webmonkey

is that it then? - horrible alright ....spoils the xmas! No wonder you kept a low profile over xmas ha

Vinta81

Yup just better to get it over with and study it outta the park, although it's my two favourite subjects

Webmonkey

It helps when you have interest/like the subject anyways. Good luck with them.

Vinta81

Cheers my dear

I've an exam on tuesday that I haven't even started studying for. I'm scared how not worried I am about it haha :rolleyes:

Webmonkey

Not looking forward to going back Monday - lots work to do in Jan...probably unrealistic amount but we see how it goes.

College will be queit ne ways...not sure if that good or bad though. It can be a boring spot.

My lack of motivation this weekend is haunting me, didn't sleep at all last night Woke up nearly every hour Bus. Management tomorrow at 10 Favourite subject but I have a feeling I'm screwed since I can't seem to remember the basics.

Lacking motivation during and after xmas is just normal. This is probably making you feel stressed because you feel you are going no where / not productive hence why you are not sleeping.

The best thing I can advise is simply to make a time table...down to every hour. Give yourself 30 minute breaks ever 1.5 hours or what ever. Write everything down, reading won't work! If you working off slides, elaborate on points or make a paragraph out of them. I personally cannot learn from slides what so ever.

Best of luck with it

My method, take my notes, summarise each section onto no more than 2/3 A4 sheets and don't go back to book/folder notes again. And I've work 3-7 today Late night ahead

I'm sure there probably will be. I was planning on staying at home and only heading up for my exam tuesday but our pipes have been frozen here for 2 days so I'm just gonna have to head up to my college house just to take a flipping shower haha. Might head into college to study tomorrow if i get nowhere at the house, which i probably won't.
