Title: I feel like crying!
Post by: sajib_mostofa on September 14, 2010, 11:27:34 pm: I've been working solidly throughout the whole yr for spesh and now when I've come to do exams, I feel so powerless cos I don't even know how to do half the stuff! What can I do?

Post by: _henwee on September 14, 2010, 11:29:36 pm: You could just do a few questions from each area just to refresh?

Post by: sajib_mostofa on September 14, 2010, 11:31:40 pm: True but I want to leave myself as much time to do as many exams as possible. It's not a question of me forgetting the stuff btu I just cant seem to apply my knowledge when doing the exams.

Post by: Lighties on September 14, 2010, 11:51:03 pm: I've been getting stuck on questions more often recently as well, maybe it's I could be working harder, maybe it's exam pressure, I don't know.

But if you know all the stuff then I'd say just get as much practice as you can so then you can be exposed all types of different questions that they might ask you on the exams. There are only so many ways that they can twist the principals (:

True but ideally, you don't really want to be in a state of panic at this time of the year.

Post by: iffets12345 on September 26, 2010, 10:03:45 pm: Unlike in methods where many similar things pop up, there's always one questions in the practice exams I encounter that seems new or different, with shifty tricks.
And Don't worry! I'm losing like +10 marks and panicking like crazy too...wonder if I can ever get to -5.

Post by: chansthename on September 29, 2010, 08:01:09 pm: When I first started I had no idea what to do for more than half the questions, I put that exam away without even adding up marks.

Now I feel better (something to do with remembering most of the stuff after seeing it in many exams)

Just keep at it and you will pick up everything again.
