I passed all but one of my Prelims (Maths) but all i got was C's. I was 1 mark off a B in Computing but that's the highest i got. I'm so worried now because I need way better than that if i want to get to Uni. I need to stay on til 6th year too because I need a C in Maths, but that's for 5th year entry i think so I'll need a higher grade than that for 6th year entry. It's all so hard and I'm beginning to think it isn't achieveable. Worse yet, I'm beginning to think it isn't worth it

From now til then just get stuck in studying, like I said before, I bombed my prelims and then ended up with better grades in the real thing. If I can do it, anyone can
Only thing I'm not too pleased about is that Higher English is the first exam and it's being held on Friday, 13th May o_0 :nervous:
A daily donkey on George Bowie last week actually made me think of you Jamie, a boy was told to take a compass to his maths exam and he took a compass as in a directional compass
Not that I thought you'd do that, it just made me think of you for some reason.
i'm sure you'll do fine.
sorry, i'm a drop out so the only advice i have is hang on in there.
And Shaz, I might as well have taken a compass. I was hopeless!
Practice, study, RELAX. You will do just fine, and trust me university is well worth the effort.
Also remember that half the course hasn't been covered yet. There is lots of time between now and May/June. So yes, don't worry.
and secondly:-
try thinking of prelims as a guidance or as a form of feedback...
they are not the real deal...
and you have plenty of time between now and your exams to work that little bit harder and improve on your grades... and you will, if you want to
I was just getting a bit over emotional over the whole thing. I am determined to work hard and practice.
And Laura, we're more or less on the last topics :shocking: This year has gone so fast. I can't believe it! :crazyeyes
If you are on the last topics just think how much time you have in class that is revision time then.
Seriously, there are over 2 months til your first exam, if you just get your head down you will be fine. Of that I am sure.
