    dont lean on the paper too hard or hold your pen too tight or else you lose your energy after a minute or so. presentation doesnt matter so write freely, it doesnt have to be so pretty and neat. i usually just seat back in my seat and write. you shouldnt write fast because you make mistakes more easily. take your time as you have 1 hour to write an essay

    I've got a good covering of Dulce et Decorum Est and felt I'd be able to do answers from 2012-2008 well on it. I'm mainly covering that but I'm gonna do Lake Isle of Inisfree as a back-up poem.

    That's what I do, but I find my hand muscles tensing alot when I write too fast, and i'm always panicing that i'm going to run out of time (THAT'S WHY I NEVER RAN OUT OF TIME IN ANY TEST). I need to feel more calm .. I just can't do it :(.

    Hah well I doubt if you bring a picnic with you you'd be allowed. Also if you bring a pack of mints or sweets in your pocket it could make noise and be a disturbance. Also if you were chewing it. I'm not actually sure of the rules surrounding it though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 149 ✭✭Mary A


    and make sure u drink lots of fizzy drinks xD

    You're allowed to bring small sweets, gum isn't allowed because of the chewing noise. ;)

    I'm going to buy a packet of jellies and shove them all in my mouth, I will slowly dissolve them as I write;););). People who did the Junior last year told me they shoved like a half a packet of jellies at the start ... :eek::eek::eek:

    this may sound absurd but i felt like sharing this: sweets and chocolate are bad for you and can kill you as they can kill animals e.g. dogs. that is only eating too much. i believe you shouldn't really eat anything that contains a lot of sugar because it kills your brain cells and may result in losing information you've learnt for the exam :p i also believe that that is why children are quite.. silly. note that i said "i believe" i never eat chocolate or sweets before exams and i think because of that, there has been an improvement in my grades :o

    Your statement is false. I drank like 3-4 cups of tea today, with about 5 tea spoons of suger each cup. I do this every day and have been for the past month or so. I've just memoried 1111 words in a special pattern which is called a story. How can you explain this? Note, my name begins with the letter A ;). :D:D

    Oh ahaha. I was only messing around :p. It's interesting to see how different people cope with different techniques. I just drink a lot of tea with suger because I need the energy XD. I would give you my brain after the English Exam .. 8pm on boards? On Wed obviously xD and thanks :D:pac::pac:

    I stay away from tea, the taste in my mouth makes me lose concentration, and the sugar mucks up my brain.
