    Tip 1: Turn off your pc.

    Tip 2: Go to a room without any comfortable furniture, i.e the kitchen, and study

    Tip 3: Drink coffee or eat an apple or two.

    Tip 4: Remember this - If you don't get over 350 points, I'm going to kill you.....very slowly.

    Now GET TO STUDYING!!!!!!!!!!!!

    me neither. didnt study for mocks though and got 415. so some last minute study should yield even better results - all things being equal.

    LOUD MUSIC AND COFFEE

    If you can't study with music on, just listen during your breaks to keep you awake.

    I done study a month ago, back when i was stressed. Have it all forgotten now, so much for that. Now i havn't been calmer about life ever. I don't know what is wrong, the further i get to wednesday the calmer I am and the less i study. What the hell is wrong with me. I was 10 times more stressed when i was doing my pres.

    I have found that most of the time I can't bring myself to study, I'm doing the leaving from home with no help, I bought all the exam papers at the start of the year but I've barely used them. I can't use the history papers, although I like history and going by past experience I probably won't do too badly in it I just can't sit down and do the papers. I like reading so I tend to just read my books over and over again and it sort of works, time will tell I suppose.

    In the last few days I've been studying nothing but maths which is one of if not my worst subject and I've found that I'm remembering more of the stuff now then when I was in school, so maybe panic helps the memory.

    I've been studying two new subjects by myself. Economics and geography, geography's fairly easy, if I can focus on social geography I should do pretty week. Economics I'm sort of ****e at but if I'm able to concentrate more on Macro stuff I won't fail.

    I've also had to do the equivalent of a year and a half's worth of maths by my lonesome.

    I did chemistry for a year in school but dropped it when I left because it just boggled me. I'm not bad at biology, I'm not good at it either but I'll do ok.

    i cant get myself motivated either, the total of my study today was learn half an irish essay!!and i keep think that its starting wednesday while im watching tv or summit, and youd expect me to get up off my arse but i just cant!!!ive resigned to accepting my 4th cao choice


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 331 ✭✭ed6hellsfresh


    what do you mean you're screwed? you've been learnin this stuff for two years so i'm pretty sure youve been doin a good bit of work.

    if you're not studyin at this stage well.... thats pretty strange alright but my view on things is we'll all get what we deserve and make the best of it

    Remember you can study something for quite a while and not be able for it, I think you have to (a) understand what you study (b) like what you study (c) have a knack for the subject. If you have one or more of these qualities then you're good but if not then studying something even for two years won't yeild good results.
    I can read a novel or a story (Of Mice and Men) once and I remember it in great detail but a subject like maths is another story completely.

    Grammar*

    Sorry, it had to be done. :p

    I can't seem to study much either. I was doing a lot more study about two weeks ago than I am now. All i managed to do today was to go over my comparative and do some maths. :(
