Prepared...not quite the word I'd use.

I reckon I'll do ok but I seem to have developed a serious procrastination problem.
I hope I can still get at least a B +.

Yeah same, I'm utterly hopeless :(

I'm feeling ok about the exam though. I'm just ready to get it over and done with.

Prepared... yes and no lol

Prepared as in I've done my revision and sort of remember everything. But having gone through the past exams, I'm ashamed to say I can't apply the theory to some of the examples/applications in the past exams. Such as "Why does hyperventilating cause a person to become unconscious".

Hope I can at least get a B.

"Why does hyperventilating cause a person to become unconscious".

Hyperventilating lowers carbon dioxide concentrations in the blood; increases in carbon dioxide levels normally trigger the urge to breathe. Therefore, removing carbon dioxide ultimately removes the urge to breathe, and if a person does not take in sufficient oxygen, then he/she can become unconscious.

I hope I don't freeze up. :(

Agreed, I'm so scared I'll do that. Ugh, my teacher's expecting me to be able to, quote, "absolutely kill" the exam...which is precisely the opposite of what will actually happen. I'm still cramming a few final facts - photosynthesis is completely doing my head in! Anyway, good luck to everyone..we can do it! I hope you all get the scores you're after :]

Lol. And while you're hyperventilating, you can analyse what's happening in your body as revision and be nerdy :D

I want at least a B+... but will settle for a B  :laugh:

Just relax and calm down. For Bio, my biggest mistake last year was over worrying and making stupid mistakes that I should have never made.

I am sure everyone on this website will be fine, so good luck anyways

Thanks!!
This exam won't be a measure of how smart I am but in fact how good I am at cramming. I never want to go through the stress of cramming again....

Good luck everyone!!!
