Exams - Argh!

Post by **PeteTheHair** » Mon Apr 28, 2003 11:18 am

Right, the reason for no events recently is Nick and myself taking finals.

They start today.

Argh.

Still, should get an event soonish

Well Pete having taken my finals last year I can truely say they were the worst experience of my life but I'm sure imperial have a better system than Oxford. I had 8 3 hours exams in 4 days so that was a nice 6 hours of examinations each and every day.

but anyway good luck and just think of the party afterwards.

At high school I always used to prefer exams, but since coming to uni I think coursework is a much better way of testing ability. To have your whole degree depend on your performance over a couple of days is really harsh, especially with the effect stress can have on peoples performance.

Anyways, if it gets too hard pete, jus stick some undies on your head, a pencil in each ear, and say "wibble" a few times... works like a treat.

hmm, I have AS level exams coming up in about 3 weeks, the biggest thing I'm worried about is having 3, one hour, business studies exams, in a row. I have no god damn idea HOW I'm going to write for 3 hours, I hate writing, very very annoying...

good luck with your finals pete.

Good luck with the exams Pete and Kulgan. I never had to take any exams when I was at college, mainly because I dropped out after a few months of the first year.

I had several AS level business studies exams on the afternoon I sat them. Suffice to say I did worse on the last one and better on the first. Even in the worst case you can just resit in January anyway.

yes, do well in your year 9 SATs, and revise like mum tells you to

trust me, don't think that just because you got a good mock grade you'll do well without revising for the real thing..also, just think, if you didn't revise well in your mock exam, and got a good grade, think of the grade you'll get if you revise really hard for your real exam, do well Matt.

I found that all exams i took, the Mocks were actually harder than the real thing. In school, and College.

have fun guys, and good luck!

Some say GCSE's are the hardest exams you'll ever take. Personally I disagree, so good luck nonetheless. Im not the first, I probably won't be the last.

But I am about to do A-Levels, so I will share in your pain.

In two weeks I open the proceedings with Maths M1,
Math is deff my worst subject Getting 60% in my mocks but dont think things will be like that come the real things,
They really like to pile on the pressure,
Especially as I have to continue maths for A level as well,
Its good to know that the rest of the world likes the prospect of exams as much as me

Good luck all,
