Oh dear god..

I just made out a study plan seeing as I have 7 exams from Monday - Thursday.
Realised I'm SO screwed for French, only timetabled in about 2 and a half hours in total and it's already my weakest subject.

**Timbuk2**

Oh my God I feel really sorry for you.

Don't stay up late studying - it's just bad bad bad.

You won't forget everything in an exam. Remember, you knew a lot of this stuff well at one time and some of it will come back.

Wow 7 exams. I have only 4 exams next week, but then I have 3 the week after, including one on the 25th - the last day. :mad:

oh no im pretty screwed for all my subjects if it makes u feel any better

Danger781

I've been thinking that for ages. You eventually just stop caring because you feel so screwed

To be honest, I'd prefer that much more than getting off early.
I have huge subjects too History and Business like. And then HL Irish on top of that.
I've art history on thursday afternoon so i'm not so stressed about that but up to wednesday i'm terrified

I've written out notes for History but not properly learnt and i haven't gone near the documents.
Business, i'm usually can get an A but i dunno now seeing as I've neglected it so much because of concentrating on other subjects

I've slowly but surely been improving in business over the past few months Went from getting D's and worked myself up to a B in the pre

History is a different story.. i knew exactly what was coming up in the pre and I still got a C

why are people so against cramming?? Its helped me in numerous subjects. I am not here to promote it no, just since I read of how possibly "screwed" he/she could be thats all. Cramming for geography the night before worked for me. Only got 2 hours sleep, for me the possibility of failing kept me awake

My English teacher told us how she used to cram and it worked so well. She said how she used to stay up till 4am the morning before the exam just continuously writing notes over and over again and reading the notes etc. Cramming can work for some people who have the will power and the ability to stay awake the next day for a prolonged period. If all else fails and you think you don't think there is any other way, it is an option.

However I could recommend rewinding a few weeks and studying!! , too late now and with the two hardest subjects at honours level for me, geography and english over, I can breathe a little easier, however cramming, for me is still a large possibilty before construction, DCG and technology.

Same.. Fear kept me awake :P
I went to bed at 12 and got up at 4. Though it meant i nearly fell asleep in the HL maths exam!.. Cramming definitely works for me. I worked throughout the year but i still need to remind myself of everything the night before! :S

Same I have to revise everything night before to remember it.
I'm safy screwed for French too. If I'm repeating ( again ) I'm dropping it and will do something else. Hoping for a C in french but could end up with a D... Waking up at 7 tommorow to study history then French at 12 till 5... Break then history again till 8 and 2 hours again for French!

I think it's safe to say I will be failing foundation level maths. Any pointers for questions I should learn that come up all the rime? I just want to pass...

Same here.
History teacher gave us a list of 10 things to learn that could come up and I still got a C. I didn't even learn all 10 of them because he always pretty much tells you exactly what is on it anyway so out of say 1916 Cng and FF 2/3 would be true so you know you only have to learn 2. I'd say I did 6 so I only had to have info for 6 in my head and I still got a C.

Now I have to do so much today. Was going to do it last night but looked at the list and cried. Had to go to bed because there was no point.

zoom!

Everybody is the same OP. I studied quite a bit of french the last few months but now I can't remember any of it, which leaves me to think that all the study I did from Feb-May was useless cos I can't remember any of it. Leaving is all about cramming tbh....

I'm in the same boat, I have 6 exams next week and am on here instead of study haha

Planned 11 hours study for today, 3 down already.

I have moments where I'm just like I don't care how it goes, but then moments where I just want to cry. Yeesh! Can't wait for this saga to be over

I had planned to get up at 10 this morning and have two fifty minute study sessions before 12.30. needless to say didn't happen. But I will do two hours before Wexford beat Dublin at 16.00 :D:D:D :P:P:P:P:P:P and then a couple of hours on Irish later tonight and an hour or two in the morning.

You've such a pesimistic attitude :rolleyes: That's not going to help you at all..

You NEED to relax, chill out. At the end of the day they're only examinations. It isn't the end of the world if you don't get what you want. You always have the option of repeating and trying again.

Stop concentrating on the stuff you DON'T have done. That doesn't help at all. Look at what you DO have done, and know that you've done all you could in the time allocated.
