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 didn't try that exactly but I went up to a few of my teachers and told them I was finding it hard to get their work done as I had so much homework. They were nice about it but basically said I didn't have the work done there would be trouble because they were only worried about their own subjects and needed me to get it done. Thanks though : )

Not cramming but definitely not easing off.

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:

I'm a repeat and I did it last year..... I credit my B in physics to that method !!! I found it easy enough to do, when you know your screwed if you don't try it's easy to stay up !! And A LOT of coffee certainly helped :P Though I only did it for a few exams I really would recommend it if you know your fu*ked!!

I just want to say I am not looking forward to this time next year :O

I for one am terrified by the lack of studying I am doing with exactly a month to go. Any tips? Need help to knuckle down.

I'm with you.... ! Think of the feeling you would have in August if you don't get your course and you know you could have if you studied now. Think of having to repeat ( I am a repeat and I can tell you it is NOT a happy experience ). That should motivate you somewhat to study!!! Now, for me, since I,ve felt both those hoooorrrriiibbbllle emotions I should have the incentive to study, but for some reason beyond me I can't

It's scary there is so little time left and there feels like there is SO much left to do.
I guess at this stage it's a matter of looking over stuff again and again to make sure you know it..
I plan to cram the last few weeks before it but for now I'm just doing my usual 4 hours or so blocks of study because any more and my brain would be fried.
Just think, in less than five weeks it'll all be over and you'll never have to worry about points or marking schemes again...

I agree ha!

Wholesale freaking out and subsequent sleep binges. It's looking like either a repeat or a PLC at the moment. Funny, back in September I was enthusing about my 350 points minimum. Naivete, laziness and complacency..We'll see how it goes. Fingers crossed for some kind of radical change in mindset.

Reckoner91

I'd definitely do a f*ck load of study IF THE IDIOT TEACHERS STOP GIVING US BULLS*IT POINTLESS NOVEL LONG ESSAYS TO DO THAT ARE POINTLESS TO US NOW, AND LET US STUDY OUR OWN WAY!!!

(ahem) *fixes tie*

So yeah, I'm studying as hard as I can.

45 points?

Easy! Most people improve more than that.
Keep going at the maths, too. Its one of those things that gets easy (almost enjoyable) once you understand it

Your motivation to study depends on how mow much you want/like your course, simple.

Cramming because I've done very little all year and now I can't concentrate on much, so it's going to be a struggle.

Yes u can. You can get Into alot of places with foundation maths. I'm sure if you google it the listt of unis and courses will come up.
I don't even require maths as a subject for my uk course.
