Wait until you get to uni, and you have 4 exams that are worth 70%ish each. Been cramming for 2 weeks straight and I still don't know enough.......

BUT, I remember getting to the point last year where I knew I knew as much as I could, and just wanted to smash the exam and get it over with. Just relax a bit, still revise, just don't go overboard, read over notes, read over where you lost marks in those practice exams and make sure that you are well rested before the day of the exam.


Good Luck......... Now back to trying to pass electrical and materials..........

How do you guys cram? Just sit there memorising stuff? That's all I do it gets so boring. They should really make subjects just a little bit more interesting.

Sounds like you need motivation.

I've been cramming the entire semesters worth of maths in the last two days.
So here i am at 3am this morning, thinking 'fuck it, im done for the day'. I was physically sick from studying, had a stomach aches the entire day, could feel a fever coming on/back pains, eyes red like the devil.

I go to TrueTears and tell him whats up, and hes like 'yeah just go to sleep'.
this guy's cheeky as shit i learned today. he wants to rule the world, and i didn't realise he just wanted to get me out of the way so there's less competition.
Whilst u sleep snuggled in, this guy is getting ahead of you.

Anyways, so i was exhausted pretty much.
Sadly, i had only studied 3~ hours (NOT ENOUGH TO CRAM A SEMESTER'S WORTH in any way).

Then i saw this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2D1Rd0jBdg

worked another 3 hours
and felt fucking glorious. I could have gone even longer but my parents woke up and made me go to sleep. I don't ever get up before 10am so they knew i'd just stood up all night.

So far i've covered 20 lectures in the last 2 days.
Still got another 13 left till tuesday.

Being bored isn't an excuse, only being dead is!

is there any reason why you are cramming? because i don't think studying at 3 am is healthy lol especially for a uni subject.
