Yeh it happens, you're probably starting to burn yourself out a little bit or are run down from all the work. Pull back on the work for a couple of days, take it easy but don't completely stop, then get back to it and peak during exams.

When that happens to me, I just open up the solutions and copy them over to make myself feel better :P

But suprisingly, I actually learn things when copying solutions, hmmm :)

I've had that happen during some meth practice exams. I got to like half way, broke, got up, ripped the exam in 4 equal pieces, chucks in bin, walks out to backyard, starts pacing around and doing laps until the sun goes down. It's only happened 3 times but I lost a good couple of hours in one of those, although it does give you time to think about life and everything.

Yeah, sometimes I do the same thing if I feel completely stuck! I think it's helpful being exposed to the correct way to answer and structure responses :)

“We are all alone, born alone, die alone, we shall all someday look back on our lives and see that, in spite of our company, we were alone the whole way. I do not say lonely -- at least, not all the time -- but essentially, and finally, alone. This is what makes your self-respect so important, and I don't see how you can respect yourself if you must look in the hearts and minds of others for your happiness.”
― Hunter S. Thompson

A wave of depression is hitting at this very point in time. 1 week before exam, but I feel there's so much more that needs to be done.

About Philosophy

When I see a youth thus engaged,—the study appears to me to be in character, and becoming a man of liberal education, and him who neglects philosophy I regard as an inferior man, who will never aspire to anything great or noble. But if I see him continuing the study in later life, and not leaving off, I should like to beat him - Callicle

Do any of you focus all your attention on one particular subject?

Yeh I don't even want to ask when I have those other scores to compare it to. I'm aiming for 30, hopefully. I should be able to do it as long as I put a bit of work into it in the next week and I don't have one of those "nights where you can't think" moments during the exam.
