Are you cramming or easing off in these last few weeks ?

ihavequestions

Well 34 days until the leaving cert begins ! Are you finally waking up or giving up?

Somewhere in between. For subjects like maths, physics, applied maths, irish and english I'm doing plenty of work. Geography and German however.. I can't get into the groove of things for those two subjects. For technology, I'm putting all my efforts into the practical, as one should.

Maths takes up most of my study. Then I'd try to do Applied Maths questions but I just wouldn't understand some parts. I put so much more time into maths than my eight other subjects.

cramming ta fück! I've got 15 school days left till graduation. Kinda freaking out about how little time is left and how little I've done.

Seloth

Cramming like f**K!

Focusing mostly on Biology,Irish and History with Maths and English kinda secondary but still important..Putting least work into ag.sci and Economics with the shortness of each course and the fact theres a 5 days between those two tests and the others

By the time I get home from school i'm wrecked and hardly able to get all of my homework done. I've been trying to cram but there's so much to do. As much as i'm dreading it it'll be easier when I leave school to have enough time to fit everything in. Can't wait until it's all over!

I've given up!:(
I feel nauseous every time I think of June 9 but I can't sit down and study without feeling insanely tired.

cram cram cram cram cram

Studying still but starting to get very bored. Also the next few weeks are going to be extremely unproductive study-wise what with graduation and all. Apparently the two weeks between school and the LC you get a sickening amount of work done... Here's hoping!

I'm not really cramming, I'm just trying to do as many past papers as possible. They have to repeat some quetions, right?

CRRRAMMATHON!!
I'm typing out condensed versions of each textbook (except french and engineering) and going to print them off and make a little note folder. Although I'm nowhere near as far along as I should be... 2 weeks of nothing but study after grad. day should get them done though!

Not the best idea IMO. You want to be fresh and alert during your exams. I'll be going to bed around 8 or each night and getting up around 4 or 5am. You lose most of your information when it's being processed into your long term while you sleep, so a look over things before the exam to get it into your short term memory bank and have it there for the exam will be of great use.

That's the plan anyway, not sure if I'll be able to stick to it :rolleyes:

cramming like a mad woman.

Delighted we have two off weeks before it starts, they'll be so hectic though.

A friend of mine has'nt done ANYTHING all year. It's gradually dawning on him that he is completely screwed.

There's still a month left yet. I wouldn't call it cramming until a week or even few days/day before the exams for some people. :pac:

Not sleeping at all works for some.....or only getting 1 or 2 hours sleep. Problem is you have to find a way that works for you, I somehow struck gold with the whole staying up till five and then sleeping for two or so hours, having a scan over notes after breakfast, a shower and whatnot (ie after you're a bit refreshed) works pretty well for me. It's not fun, but you have to play the game with the Leaving Cert, and it's only for 2 o 3 weeks

This wont work for everyone, if you're not used to not getting much sleep, do NOT try this!

Don't do the homework then and tell your teachers that you were too busy studying and can't fit all the homework in all the time. They'll understand.

I've not done anything all year and I don't consider myself screwed. I'm the kinda person that can turn up and net 350 without studying though.

I wouldn't overdo it. You've still gotta keep up stamina for the exams. Like science or whatever you can just write it all down but with things like English, you probably wont do that well if you're half asleep...
