Ahhh man, it’s that time of year
when everything is drawing to a close and everyone is just looking
forward to
finishing and embracing summer. Only one slight problem, before that can
happen, first we must endure and hopefully past the dreaded exams.
Exams are a pain and that’s no
lie. They were a pain at school, a pain at College and still a pain at University.
Sadly unless you’re clever enough to choose to do a subject which is entirely
coursework based and thus avoid exams, then you just have to suck up and deal
with it.
University exams do differ
massively from A-levels. Firstly, your exam is unlikely to be the only assessment
you have for one subject. This means that by working out the scores you got in
your coursework, you should be able to go into the exam knowing or at least
having some indication of how you have done over all. This is reassuring, trust
me. Because even if the exam and the questions asked turn out to be total poo,
you know that it’s not the end of the world and even if you fail the exam, you
probably will still pass the course. Neat eh?
Like many of my post, I think
when it comes to exams is just to be clever and think about it. That might
sounds redundant and obvious, but let me explain. Be clever about how much work
you’re going to have to do in terms about revising, think about the best revising
method which is suited to your learning style. See, it all makes sense now.
So as you can probably imagine,
I’m currently in revision mode. I actually want to do my exams and get them over
and done with, simply because I am so tired and god damn bored of revision!
Once I've finished my exams I am finished for the year! Woo. To celebrate, I
and some friends are going to Spain for a week. After which there all going
back to London and I am spending an additional few days travelling round Spain
by myself... which should be interesting!
I thought I’ll spend a little bit of time
relaxing before having commit myself to spending the whole of the summer
working full time to financially compensate for my somewhat lavish lifestyle.
So that’s just a little update
for now and some advice from my perspective. I’ll check in, in a few weeks.
Hopefully I’ll make it through exam season alive and unscathed. Wish me luck,
yeah?
