    Is that C4 you've got tomorrow?

    I know they feel pointless sometimes. They're just a set of hoops you've got to jump through to prove that you have been able to remember and understand a bunch of facts. Or as my teachers like to put it: 'a fanastic chance to show-off and demonstrate your skills, that you should enjoy' :yeees:

    Well you could always mix things up by revising for the next weeks ones as well as C4! :D

    Knew you'd like that one. The point of exams is to show you actually have some vague ability to retain the stuff you've been taught and then do it independantly.

    Have fun, c'mon, you can manage suffering for another couple of weeks! :p

    Trust me, it'll all be worth it. I've just finished my finals and with it, formal education.

    Slog through it dude - it'll all be worth it in the end. No-one likes exams, but everyone likes post-exam piss-ups!

    Am I the only who finds that if they revise, they do worse than they would do if they didn't revise?

    I don't mind exams I don't love 'em but don't hate 'em. I just never get stressed by them, it makes me laugh when people are getting so wroked up! I had a friend that for her GCSE's had to take these tranquilisers to calm her down, thats was just a little OTT!

    Though I do hate revision, I have the worst concentration span ever, and can't revise in the quiet. I have to have the tele on or music to make it a bit more berable.
